Guides

Use these guides to get oriented in ScopeDB Cloud, connect a client, and complete common data workflows.

Start here

Quickstart

Create a table and run your first ScopeQL queries in ScopeDB Console.

Connect an application

Copy your workspace's ScopeDB API address, create an API key, and verify the connection.

ScopeDB Cloud concepts

Learn how workspaces, the Console, API addresses, API keys, and the data catalog fit together.

Work with data

The following guides use event data as one coherent example. ScopeDB does not require this schema, an event model, or a time column.

Ingest data

Load application events with ScopeQL transformations and data-quality checks.

Query data

Inspect rows, search messages, extract fields from payloads, aggregate trends, and join metadata.

Model semi-structured data

Decide what belongs in typed columns and what belongs in a semi-structured object column.

Set data retention

Make table data eligible for asynchronous expiration after a configurable retention window.

Storage architecture

Understand how columnar storage, clustering, and index pruning reduce the work required by event analytics queries.

Add indexes

Choose point, range, search, and materialized indexes from real query patterns.

Manage access

Authentication and API keys

Create, store, rotate, and revoke workspace API keys safely.

Choose a path

If you are new to ScopeDB, start in the Console:

1. Complete the Quickstart.
2. When you need programmatic access, connect an application.
3. Read ScopeDB Cloud concepts when you need the product model.

Then choose the guide for the task in front of you:

• write data producers with Ingest data;
• inspect and aggregate data with Query data;
• design flexible schemas with Model semi-structured data;
• remove data you no longer need with Data retention;
• understand how storage layout and pruning reduce query work with Storage architecture;
• improve important query paths with Add indexes.
