Get Started Using SingleStore for Free
On this page
SingleStore can handle many workloads completely for free, and it’s very easy to get started.
See the video version of this guide.
This guide walks you through setting up a "cluster in a box"/single host (machine) deployment using the SingleStore free license.
Overview
This guide shows you how to quickly build a single-instance SingleStore cluster running on Docker Desktop, on a laptop computer, for free.
Here’s the process, with each step outlined below:
-
Start the SingleStore Cluster through Docker
After following these steps, you’ll have a bare-bones SingleStore cluster running on your host.
Note
With specs well below SingleStore’s limits, performance will be atypical, and not suited for a production environment.
