# database create

Create a Strada database on your own Tinybird workspace.

Requires `strada login` first. Authenticates with Tinybird via browser
OAuth, deploys OTel datasources and materialized views, then saves the
tokens to your Strada database.

For non-interactive Tinybird auth, pass --token and --base-url directly.

## Usage

```sh
strada database create
```
