Quickstart Tutorial
Overview​
Welcome to the Weaviate Quickstart tutorial.
This tutorial teaches you how to use Weaviate, from spinning up an instance to performing queries.
In this guide, we will show you how to:
- Spin up an instance of Weaviate
- Set up a database schema
- Import data to populate the database, and
- Perform queries to retrieve relevant data
You can also read briefly about modules, and the console.
Have fun working with Weaviate, and please do let us know when you have questions or if you have a cool use case to share!
