Creating Resources

This guide walks you through the process of creating new resources in your KtrlPlane projects. KtrlPlane uses a unified wizard to make resource creation simple and consistent across different types.

The Creation Wizard

To start creating a resource:

1. Navigate to your Project dashboard.
2. Click the "Add Resource" button in the top right or the "Create Resource" card in the dashboard.

Step 1: Select Resource Type

Choose the type of resource you need from the catalog.

• Konnektr.Graph: A high-performance graph database for digital twins.
• Konnektr.Flow: A real-time event processing and routing engine.
• Konnektr.Assembler: An AI-powered tool for generating data models.

Step 2: Configure Details

1. Name: Enter a unique display name for your resource.
2. ID: A DNS-compliant ID will be automatically generated from your name. You can customize this if needed, but it must be unique within the project.
3. Tier: Select a performance tier.
   • Free: Good for development and testing. Shared infrastructure.
   • Pro: For production workloads requiring guaranteed performance.
   • Enterprise: Dedicated infrastructure with custom SLAs.

Step 3: Billing (If Required)

If you select a paid tier (Pro or Enterprise) and haven't set up billing for your project yet, you will be prompted to:

1. Enter your billing details.
2. Add a payment method via the secure Stripe portal.

Note: You only need to do this once per project.

Step 4: Resource Configuration

Different resources require different configuration settings.

• Graphs: configuring database names, backup retention, and scaling options.
• Flows: configuring processing modes (streaming/batch), retention policies, and instance counts.
• Secrets: Add key-value pairs for sensitive data.

Refer to the specific product documentation for detailed configuration parameters for each resource type.

Step 5: Creation and Deployment

Once configured, click Create Resource. KtrlPlane will provision your dedicated infrastructure. This process typically takes 1-3 minutes. You will be redirected to the resource details page automatically.

Next Steps

After your resource is created:

1. View Details: Check the resource overview for status and connection endpoints.
2. Manage Access: Use the Access tab to grant permissions to other users or service accounts.
3. Check Logs: Use the Logs tab to monitor initialization and runtime events.
