Quickstart

Creating a Single Node M3DB Cluster with Docker

This guide shows how to install and configure M3DB, create a single-node cluster, and read and write metrics to it. Deploying a single-node M3DB cluster is a great way to experiment with M3DB and get an idea of what it has to offer, but is not designed for production use. To run M3DB in clustered mode with a separate M3Coordinator, read the clustered mode guide. Prerequisites Docker: You don’t need Docker to run M3DB, but it is the simplest and quickest way.

Creating a Single Node M3 Cluster with Binaries

This guide shows how to install and configure M3, create a single-node cluster, and read and write metrics to it. Deploying a single-node M3 cluster is a great way to experiment with M3 and get an idea of what it has to offer, but is not designed for production use. To run M3 in clustered mode, with a separate M3Coordinator read the clustered mode guide. Prebuilt Binaries M3 has pre-built binaries available for Linux and macOS.
