What your code needs around it: access, permissions, security, monitoring and automation. Start with Setup prerequisites to get access; read Security and Performance as your workload grows, and CI/CD and automation when you provision from a pipeline.

  • Setup prerequisites: What your platform team sets up before you use VAST DataBase, the permissions each SDK operation needs, example policies and a check.
  • Security: How identity policies, row and column security and impersonation affect what you can see and do from the SDK, Trino and Spark.
  • Performance: Speed up queries and loads through table structure, narrower requests, large write batches and spread endpoints, and which cluster settings to request.
  • Monitoring your workload: See your own queries and loads from the client: SDK logging, table statistics, sort progress, the partitions view and the imports table.
  • Snapshots and replication: Query a table as it was in a snapshot, and learn what asynchronous replication means for the data on a replica.
  • CI/CD and automation: Create and check a database's view, policies, user and keys from CI with the REST API, vastpy and Terraform, then its tables.
