# Quickstart

> Connect your first database and generate a dashboard in under 5 minutes.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create your account">
    Go to [vexidata.com](https://vexidata.com) and sign up with your email, GitHub, or Google account.

    Every account belongs to an organization. You'll create one during signup — you can invite team members later.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect a database">
    1. Go to [Data Sources](https://vexidata.com/data-sources)
    2. Click **MySQL**, **PostgreSQL**, **MariaDB**, or **SQL Server**
    3. Enter your connection details (host, port, database, username, password)
    4. Click **Test & Save Connection**

    VexiData will connect, analyze your schema, and discover business metrics automatically. This takes a few seconds to a couple of minutes depending on your database size.

    <Tip>
      If your database has a firewall, whitelist VexiData's IP: `46.101.71.122`
    </Tip>

  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate your first dashboard">
    1. Go to the [Dashboard](https://vexidata.com/dashboard)
    2. Select your connected database from the dropdown
    3. Type a question like *"Show me an overview of my users and orders"*
    4. VexiData generates a full dashboard with charts, metrics, and tables

    You can refine the dashboard by asking follow-up questions in the same conversation.
