Quickstart
Go from sign-up to your first live chart in seven steps.
This walkthrough uses a CSV upload because it needs no external system. Every step applies equally to JSON files and API endpoints.
1. Create your account
Register at /auth/signup. The API returns a pair of HttpOnly cookies, so no token ever touches JavaScript or local storage.
2. Set up the workspace
You are asked whether you are working alone or with a team. This decides whether the workspace is created as individual or organization. You can change members later from Workspace.
3. Pick a plan
Plans control compute and retention limits. You can start free and upgrade at any time from Settings → Billing.
4. Connect a data source
- 1
Open Data Sources
Navigate to Data Sources and choose Add Data Source. - 2
Name the connection
Use a name your teammates will recognise, for examplemonthly_sales_export. - 3
Upload the file
Drop in a CSV or JSON file. The platform parses it, detects column types and stores a sample you can preview immediately. - 4
Save
Once saved, the source appears in the table with a status badge.
5. Create a pipeline
Go to Pipelines and select Create Pipeline. Choose the data source you just created, add any transformations, then set a run frequency.
6. Run it
Trigger a run from the pipeline detail page. The execution log streams live. When the run turns success, a Parquet dataset is available for analysis.
/api/pipeline/pipelines/{id}/execute/Auth requiredQueues a run and returns the execution identifier you can poll or watch over the socket.
7. Build a chart
- 1
Open Analytics
Visit Analytics and connect the pipeline that just ran successfully. - 2
Switch to the chart view
Use the Charts toggle above the dataset table. - 3
Add a chart
Choose a chart type, pick your X and Y fields, set the width and save. A live preview renders inside the configuration panel.
Production checklist
- Set a default page, timezone and export format.
- Invite teammates and give them the least-privileged role they need.
- Enable error notifications so failed runs reach a human quickly.
- Review retention settings against your compliance requirements.
