Log in to the TiDB Cloud console, and then navigate to the Clusters page.
-
Click Create Cluster.
-
On the Create Cluster page, Serverless is selected by default.
-
The cloud provider of TiDB Cloud Serverless is AWS. You can select an AWS region where you want to host your cluster.

Update the default cluster name if necessary.
-
Select a cluster plan. TiDB Cloud Serverless provides two cluster plans: Free Cluster and Scalable Cluster. You can start with a free cluster and later upgrade to a scalable cluster as your needs grow. To create a scalable cluster, you need to specify a Monthly Spending Limit and add a credit card.
Note:
For each organization in TiDB Cloud, you can create a maximum of five free clusters by default. To create more TiDB Cloud Serverless clusters, you need to add a credit card and create scalable clusters for the usage.
-
Click Create.
The cluster creation process starts and your TiDB Cloud cluster will be created in approximately 30 seconds.
After your cluster is created, follow the instructions in Connect to TiDB Cloud Serverless via Public Endpoint to create a password for your cluster.
Note:
If you do not set a password, you cannot connect to the cluster.
