# Quickstart

Welcome to Elementary!

Elementary is the platform for data observability, quality, and governance. Connect your stack and you get a team of AI agents that handle test coverage, incident triage, governance, and performance monitoring — continuously, without manual configuration.

There are two ways to get started:

* **Start a 30-day free trial** and set everything up yourself — perfect for smaller teams or hands-on users.
* **For larger teams or more tailored needs, [reach out to the team](https://meetings-eu1.hubspot.com/joost-boonzajer-flaes/intro-call-docs?uuid=17a4a61f-d0d3-4cbc-9362-56e37483f6f5)** and we'll help you get set up.

### Self-serve setup

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create an account">
    [Sign up to Elementary](https://elementary-data.frontegg.com/oauth/account/sign-up) using Google SSO or email.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Install the Elementary dbt package">
    [Add the Elementary dbt package](/data-tests/dbt/quickstart-package) to your dbt project. It collects test results, run metadata, and dbt artifacts automatically at runtime using on-run-end hooks.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect your data warehouse">
    In Elementary, create your first environment and [connect it to your data warehouse](/cloud/integrations/elementary-integrations). Elementary only needs access to the Elementary schema, not your underlying data.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect your stack">
    Connect your [code repository](/cloud/integrations/code-repo/connect-code-repo), [Slack or other alert channels](/cloud/integrations/alerts/slack), and [BI tools](/cloud/integrations/bi/connect-bi-tool) to get full visibility across your data workflows.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Invite your team" icon="party-horn">
    [Invite team members](/cloud/features/roles-and-permissions) and assign roles so everyone has access to what they need.
  </Step>
