Getting Started

It’s super easy to get going with SuperDB.

Short on time? Just browse the TL;DR.

Otherwise, try out the embedded playground examples throughout the documentation, or

• install super, and
• try it out.

The super command is a single binary arranged into a hierarchy of sub-commands.

SuperDB’s disaggregation of compute and storage is reflected into the design of its command hierarchy: running the top-level super command runs the compute engine only on inputs like files and URLs, while the db subcommands of super operate upon a persistent database.

To get online help, run the super command or any sub-command with -h, e.g.,

super -h

displays help for the top-level command, while

super db load -h

displays help for loading data into a SuperDB database, and so forth.

Note

While super and its accompanying data formats are production quality for many use cases, the project’s persistent database is a bit earlier in development.
