For this unit, you can choose to create a Weaviate Cloud (WCD) instance or a local Docker instance.

We show you how to set up both options, and you can choose the one that best fits your needs.

If you're not sure which to choose, we recommend starting with a WCD instance.

• Create a Weaviate Cloud (WCD) instance
  • If you want a managed service and don't want to worry about installation and maintenance.
• Create a local Docker instance
  • If you want to run Weaviate on your local machine, or want to have full control over the installation and maintenance.
