Create a cluster
The BigAnimal free trial allows one active cluster. If you want to try another configuration, you'll need to delete your active cluster. Thankfully, it's also quick and easy to restore your deleted cluster from a backup if you need to later on. Backups are automatically created as soon as a cluster is used.
When you create a cluster, there are two flavors of PostgreSQL to choose from:
- All supported versions of open-source PostgreSQL, including PostgreSQL 14.
- EDB Postgres Advanced Server, which augments open-source PostgreSQL with Oracle compatibility, among other features.
We'll demonstrate two methods of creating a cluster:
Clusters can also be created programmatically using the fully featured BigAnimal API.
