Introduction
------------
This guide explains how to connect a new or existing YugaByte Postgres database to a Hasura Cloud project.
Step 0: Sign up or log in to Hasura Cloud
-----------------------------------------
Navigate to `Hasura Cloud <https://cloud.hasura.io/signup/?pg=docs&plcmt=body&cta=navigate-to-hasura-cloud&tech=default>`__ and sign up or log in.
.. _create_hasura_project_yugabyte:
Step 1: Create a Hasura Cloud project
-------------------------------------
On the Hasura Cloud dashboard, create a new project:
.. thumbnail:: /img/graphql/cloud/cloud-dbs/create-hasura-cloud-project.png
:alt: Create Hasura Cloud project
:width: 1000px
You will get prompted for a Postgres Database URL. We will create this in the next step and then come back here.

Also, copy the Hasura Cloud IP for later.
.. _create_pg_db_yugabyte:
Step 2: Create a Postgres DB on YugaByte (skip if you have an existing DB)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Log into the `YugaByte Cloud dashboard <https://cloud.yugabyte.com/login>`__.
On the YugaByte Cloud dashboard, click on ``Create cluster``:
.. thumbnail:: /img/graphql/cloud/cloud-dbs/yugabyte/create-cluster.png
:alt: Create cluster on YugaByte
:width: 1000px
Select a ``Cloud Provider`` and ``Region`` and then click ``Create Cluster``.
.. note::
If you're using a database user other than the default one, make sure to give it the right :ref:`Postgres permissions <cloud_postgres_permissions>`.
.. _construct_db_url_yugabyte:
Step 3: Construct the database connection URL
---------------------------------------------
The structure of the database connection URL looks as follows:
.. code-block:: bash
postgresql://<user-name>:<password>@<public-ip>:<postgres-port>/<db>
To get it, click on your cluster on the cluster dashboard:
.. thumbnail:: /img/graphql/cloud/cloud-dbs/yugabyte/go-to-cluster.png
:alt: Go to cluster on YugaByte
:width: 700px
On your cluster's dashboard, click on ``Connect`` on the top right:
.. thumbnail:: /img/graphql/cloud/cloud-dbs/yugabyte/connect.png
:alt: Connect to cluster on YugaByte
:width: 1000px
Now you can get the connection info from the following screen:
.. thumbnail:: /img/graphql/cloud/cloud-dbs/yugabyte/connection-info.png
:alt: Connection info for YugaByte
:width: 600px
- ``user-name``: If you have a separate database user, the user name will be their name. If you didn't specify a user, the default user name is ``admin`` (see after ``-U`` in the screenshot above).
- ``password``: If you have a separate database user, use their password. Otherwise, use the password is what follows ``PGPASSWORD=`` in the screenshot above.
- ``public-ip``: The public IP is what follows ``-h`` in the screenshot above.
- ``postgres-port``: The port is ``10301`` (see on the screenshot after ``-p``). This can be configured if required.
- ``db``: The DB is ``yugabyte`` (see on the screenshot after ``-d``).
Step 4: Finish creating the Hasura Cloud project
------------------------------------------------
Back on the Hasura Cloud dashboard, enter the database URL that we constructed in :ref:`step 3 <construct_db_url_yugabyte>`:
.. thumbnail:: /img/graphql/cloud/cloud-dbs/finish-create-project.png
:alt: Finish creating the Hasura Cloud project
:width: 500px
Then click ``Create project``.
Step 5: Launch Hasura console
-----------------------------
After the project is initialized successfully, click on ``Launch console``:
.. thumbnail:: /img/graphql/cloud/cloud-dbs/launch-console.png
:alt: Launch the Hasura console
:width: 900px
Voilà. You are ready to start developing.

You can check out our `30-Minute Hasura Basics Course <https://hasura.io/learn/graphql/hasura/introduction/>`__
and other `GraphQL & Hasura Courses <https://hasura.io/learn/>`__ for a more detailed introduction to Hasura.
You can also click the gear icon to manage your Hasura Cloud project. (e.g. add :ref:`collaborators <manage_project_collaborators>`,
:ref:`env vars <manage_project_env_vars>` or :ref:`custom domains <manage_project_domains>`) and :ref:`add an admin secret <secure_project>`
to make sure that your GraphQL endpoint and the Hasura console are not publicly accessible.
