+
+Embeddable is a developer toolkit for building fast, interactive customer-facing
+analytics. It works well with a high performance time-series database like
+QuestDB.
+
+In [Embeddable](https://embeddable.com) define
+[Data Models](https://trevorio.notion.site/Data-modeling-35637bbbc01046a1bc47715456bfa1d8)
+and
+[Components](https://trevorio.notion.site/Using-components-761f52ac2d0743b488371088a1024e49)
+in code stored in your own code repository, then use the **SDK** to make these
+available for your team in the powerful Embeddable **no-code builder.** The end
+result is the ability to deliver fast, interactive **customer-facing analytics**
+directly in your product.
+
+Built-in **row-level security** means that every user only ever sees **exactly**
+the data they’re allowed to see. And two levels of fully-configurable
+**caching** mean you can deliver fast, realtime analytics at scale.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- A running QuestDB instance
+  - Not running yet? See the [quick start](/docs/quick-start/)
+
+## Getting started with Embeddable
+
+Add a database connection using Embeddable API. This connection connects to your
+QuestDB instance. To add a connection, use the following API call:
+
+```javascript
+// for security reasons, this must *never* be called from your client-side
+fetch("https://api.embeddable.com/api/v1/connections", {
+  method: "POST",
+  headers: {
+    "Content-Type": "application/json",
+    Accept: "application/json",
+    Authorization: `Bearer ${apiKey}` /* keep your API Key secure */,
+  },
+  body: JSON.stringify({
+    name: "my-questdb-db",
+    type: "questdb",
+    credentials: {
+      host: "my.questdb.host",
+      port: "8812",
+      user: "admin",
+      password: "quest",
+    },
+  }),
+})
+```
+
+In response you will receive:
+
+```json
+Status 201 { errorMessage: null }
+```
+
+The above represents a `CREATE` action, but all `CRUD` operations are available.
+
+The `apiKey` can be found by clicking “**Publish**” on one of your Embeddable
+dashboards.
+
+The `name` is a unique name to identify this **connection**.
+
+- By default your **data models** will look for a **connection** called
+  “default”, but you can supply your models with different
+  [**data_source**](https://cube.dev/docs/reference/data-model/cube#data_source)
+  names to support connecting different **data models** to different
+  **connections** (simply specify the
+  **[data_source](https://cube.dev/docs/reference/data-model/cube#data_source)**
+  name in the model)
+
+The `type` tells us which driver to use, in this case QuestDB. For a full list,
+see
+[the documentaiton](https://cube.dev/docs/product/configuration/data-sources).
+
+The `credentials` is a javascript object containing the necessary credentials
+expected by the driver:
+
+- These are securely encrypted and only used to retrieve exactly the data you
+  have described in your data models.
+- We strongly encourage you to create a **read-only** database user for each
+  connection. Embeddable will only ever read from your database, not write.
+
+To support connecting to different databases for prod, qa, test, etc, or to
+support different databases for different customers, you can assign each
+**connection** to an **environment**. For more information, see
+[Environments API](https://www.notion.so/Environments-API-497169036b5148b38f7936aa75e62949?pvs=21).
