Create your first TaruviBase app

Before you build an application or connect an AI coding tool, you need a TaruviBase app. This guide creates a Development site and an app inside it.

How TaruviBase is organized​

TaruviBase has three levels. Your account already has an organization. You create a site inside it, then an app inside that site.

Organization
→
Site
→
App
  • A site is an environment with its own web address and its own users, for example one site for development and one for production.
  • An app holds the data tables, files, functions, events, and access rules for one application.

1. Create or open a Development site​

Use a Development site while you build and test, and a Production site for your live application.

If you already have a Development site: select its card on the Sites page and continue to step 2.

To create a Development site:

  1. Sign in to TaruviBase Console. On Sites, select Create Your First Site (if the list is empty) or Create New Site.
  2. Enter a Site Name. Use letters, numbers, hyphens, or underscores, with at least four letters. The name becomes part of your site's web address.
  3. Set Environment to Development. The form starts on Production, so change it.
  4. Select Create Site.
  5. When the site card appears, select it.

Expected result: the site opens on its Apps page, with the site name and the Development label in the header.

2. Create or open an app​

If you already have an app: select its card on the Apps page and continue to what's next.

To create an app:

  1. On Apps, select Create app (shown when the site has no apps yet) or Create New App.
  2. Enter an App name, for example task-list. The description is optional.
  3. Select Create app.
  4. When the app card appears, select it.

Expected result: the app opens. Its left navigation includes Datatables, Functions, Storage, and Settings.

What's next​

Your app is ready. Choose how to build with it:

  • Build with AI — connect Claude Code, Cursor, or another AI coding tool and let it write the code with you.
  • Create your first task — write and read data step by step to learn how TaruviBase works.

Both paths work with the same app, so you can do both.

Troubleshooting​

I can't create a site or app

Your plan may still be activating, or you have reached your plan's site limit. Open your organization's Billing page to check. If the problem continues, contact TaruviBase support.
