Quickstart: TypeScript

Tigris is a Serverless NoSQL Database and Search Platform that provides an API-like approach to interact with data just as apps interact with other services such as Stripe. This allows you to build dynamic, data-driven applications in an infrastructure-less way.

Tigris provides an instantaneous and code-first experience, meaning you will not need to step out of your application code.

System requirements​

  • Node.js v12 or newer
  • MacOS, Windows, and Linux are supported

Sign up​

To sign up for Tigris, go to the Tigris Cloud console. You can choose to authenticate with Google, GitHub, or by using an email.

Create a project​

Once you have successfully signed up, you are ready to start creating a project. You can create a new project from the Tigris Cloud dashboard by clicking on the Create a new project button and providing a project name.

Create a new project

Set up a new app with Tigris​

Once the project is created, copy the create-tigris-app command that is shown

Create a new app

We recommend creating a new app using create-tigris-app, which sets up the Tigris SDK automatically for you. (You don't need to create an empty directory. create-tigris-app will make one for you.)

After the installation is complete:

  • Run npm run dev or yarn dev or pnpm dev to start the development server on http://localhost:3000

For more information on how to use create-tigris-app, you can review the create-tigris-app documentation.
