Create a cluster
A cluster in RisingWave Cloud provides the necessary resources for hosting independent data repositories and streaming pipelines. Within a cluster, you can create and manage database users and databases.
You can find the Create cluster button on the home page or the Clusters tab after your first login.
You can choose to create a free cluster or a customizable cluster if you have an invitation code.
See Choose a cluster plan for details on how to choose a cluster plan and configure the resources.
