Build applications on six VAST data services that run on one VAST cluster and share one store. These docs show how to build with each service; the VAST knowledge base (KB) covers enabling and configuring it on the cluster, which is your platform team's job.
New here?
Pick the service for what you want to build: see Choose a service, or End-to-end patterns if it spans several.
Get access: ask your platform team for a developer tenant, or for what Get access lists for your service.
Run the service's quickstart, then read its concepts before you design your application.

Overview: Developer docs for six VAST services on VAST Cluster 5.5: how they relate to the KB, how sections work, where to start.
Choose a service: Match what you want to build to a VAST service and its overview and quickstart, and see how services combine.
Choose a client: A table of which clients work with which VAST service, linking the page for each combination, plus the automation tools.
Get access: What your platform team sets up before you build on any VAST service, with each service's setup page and a check.
Developer tenant: Ask your platform team for a developer tenant once, then create your own users, keys, databases, buckets and Kafka views yourself.
End-to-end patterns: Step-by-step outlines for combining two or three services, such as new objects into a table, RAG retrieval with permissions, and CI provisioning.
Solutions: Reading paths for five VAST solutions: Enterprise AI Factory, cyber lakehouse, data analytics, real-time event analytics and neoclouds.
What's new and versions: Find your cluster's release and SDK version, then follow links to what's new in 5.5 for each service and the automation tools.
