Quickstart

This guide shows how to install and configure M3, create a single-node cluster, and read and write metrics to it. Deploying a single-node cluster is a great way to experiment with M3 and get an idea of what it has to offer, but isn’t designed for production use. To run M3 in clustered mode with a separate M3 Coordinator, read the clustered mode guides. Prerequisites Docker: You don’t need Docker to run M3DB, but it’s the simplest and quickest way.
