Each scenario walks you through six steps

Run CrateDB. Import a sample dataset in a few seconds. Run your first queries provided in the demo, or write your own and see sub-second results. Connect a pre-configured live Grafana dashboard. You can also connect an application, IDE, or AI agent. Thirty minutes later: a running database, live data, and an interactive dashboard you set up yourself.
