| 4 | +--- |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +# Connect to TiDB with Sequelize |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +TiDB is a MySQL-compatible database, and [Sequelize](https://sequelize.org/) is a popular ORM framework for Node.js. |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +In this tutorial, you can learn how to use TiDB and Sequelize to accomplish the following tasks: |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +- Set up your environment. |
| 13 | +- Connect to your TiDB cluster using Sequelize. |
| 14 | +- Build and run your application. Optionally, you can find [sample code snippets](#sample-code-snippets) for basic CRUD operations. |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +> **Note** |
| 17 | +> |
| 18 | +> This tutorial works with TiDB Serverless, TiDB Dedicated, and TiDB Self-Hosted. |
| 19 | +
|
| 20 | +## Prerequisites |
| 21 | + |

| 45 | +## Run the sample app to connect to TiDB |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +This section demonstrates how to run the sample application code and connect to TiDB. |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +> **Note** |
| 50 | +> |
| 51 | +> For complete code snippets and running instructions, refer to the [tidb-samples/tidb-nodejs-sequelize-quickstart](https://github.com/tidb-samples/tidb-nodejs-sequelize-quickstart) GitHub repository. |
| 52 | +
|
| 53 | +### Step 1: Clone the sample app repository |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +Run the following commands in your terminal window to clone the sample code repository: |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +```bash |
| 58 | +git clone [email protected]:tidb-samples/tidb-nodejs-sequelize-quickstart.git |
| 59 | +cd tidb-nodejs-sequelize-quickstart |
| 60 | +``` |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +### Step 2: Install dependencies |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +Run the following command to install the required packages (including `sequelize`) for the sample app: |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +```bash |
| 67 | +npm install |
| 68 | +``` |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +### Step 3: Configure connection information |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +Connect to your TiDB cluster depending on the TiDB deployment option you've selected. |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +<SimpleTab> |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +<div label="TiDB Serverless"> |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +1. Navigate to the [**Clusters**](https://tidbcloud.com/console/clusters) page, and then click the name of your target cluster to go to its overview page. |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +2. Click **Connect** in the upper-right corner. A connection dialog is displayed. |
| 81 | + |

| 86 | + - **Operating System** matches your environment. |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | + > **Note** |
| 89 | + > |
| 90 | + > In Node.js applications, you don't have to provide an SSL CA certificate, because Node.js uses the built-in [Mozilla CA certificate](https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA/Included_Certificates) by default when establishing the TLS (SSL) connection. |
| 91 | +
|
| 92 | +4. Click **Create password** to create a random password. |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | + > **Tip** |
