• You'll then be directed to the home page. Locate theCreate Database button on the left side:

• On the following screen, press theGet Started button underneath "Pay as you go":

• Enter a database name and keyspace name. Select any of the providers at the bottom and select the region closest to you. Then pressCreate Database

• Now wait a few minutes for the database to spin up, and click on the name of the database on the left side of the screen. Expected result:

Database is ready, notice how the status changed frompending toActive and now you now have theconnect button enabled.*

• Get your secure connect bundle.
• Press the blue Connect button at the top right corner, and then select "Node.js" under the menu "Connect using a driver":

• Finally, click the Download Bundle button to download the zip. Once saved, move the zip into thecassandra.api/astra.credentials directory of this project.

• Before leaving this page, make sure to save these three values into a text document (or press the 'Download CSV' button)

• Fill in the naming conventions you declared earlier, when you setup your database, in your(cassandra.api/astra.credentials/UserCred.json) file
• For Username, input your generated Client ID (from Token Management)
• For Password, input your generated Client Secret
• The following is an example of that the UserCred.json file would look like using the credentials used for configuring the Astra instance.

{     "username":"your-client-id",     "password":"your-client-secret",     "cluster":"testdb2",     "keyspace":"testkeyspace",     "table":"leaves"}

The last valuetable wasn't declared before so you can do that here for the first time.

It's best to go through this project in the following order so you do not get confused.
