Get up and running with Time Series Database (TSDB) in three steps: create an instance, configure access, and connect your application.

Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure that you have:
An Alibaba Cloud account
A Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) network or a public network connection
Get started
Complete the following steps in order:
Create a TSDB instance — Create a TSDB instance in the TSDB console.
Configure the IP address whitelist — Add the IP addresses that need access to the whitelist so they can reach the instance.
Connect to the instance — Connect your application to TSDB via API. Both VPC network and public network connections are supported.
What's next
After connecting, you can read and write time series data through the API or manage the instance through the TSDB console.
