[DBeaver](https://dbeaver.io/) is a free cross-platform database tool for developers, database administrators, analysts, and everyone working with data. DBeaver provides an SQL editor, administration features, data and schema migration, and the ability to monitor database connection sessions.

This page explains how to integrate DBeaver with your Tiger Cloud service.

## Prerequisites for this integration guide

To follow these steps, you'll need:

- A [Tiger Cloud service](/get-started/quickstart/create-service/index.md).

  These steps use Tiger Cloud, but the same approach applies to a [self-hosted TimescaleDB](/get-started/choose-your-path/install-timescaledb/index.md) instance.

* Your [connection details](/integrate/find-connection-details/index.md).

- [DBeaver](https://dbeaver.io/download/) downloaded and installed.

## Connect DBeaver to your service

To connect to Tiger Cloud:

1. **Start `DBeaver`**

2. **In the toolbar, click the plug+ icon**

3. **In `Connect to a database` search for `TimescaleDB`**

4. **Select `TimescaleDB`, then click `Next`**

5. **Configure the connection**

   Use your [connection details](/integrate/find-connection-details/index.md) to add your connection settings.

   If you configured your service to connect using a [stricter SSL mode](/deploy/tiger-cloud/tiger-cloud-aws/security/strict-ssl/index.md), in the `SSL` tab check `Use SSL` and set `SSL mode` to the configured mode. Then, in the `CA Certificate` field type the location of the SSL root CA certificate.

6. **Click `Test Connection`. When the connection is successful, click `Finish`**

   Your connection is listed in the `Database Navigator`.

You have successfully integrated DBeaver with Tiger Cloud.
