[Azure Data Studio](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/data-studio) is an open-source, cross-platform hybrid data analytics tool designed to simplify the data landscape.

This page explains how to integrate Azure Data Studio with Tiger Cloud.

## 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).

- [Azure Data Studio](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure-data-studio/download-azure-data-studio?view=sql-server-ver16#install-azure-data-studio) downloaded and installed.
- The [PostgreSQL extension for Azure Data Studio](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure-data-studio/extensions/postgres-extension?view=sql-server-ver16) installed.

## Connect to your service with Azure Data Studio

To connect to Tiger Cloud:

1. **Start `Azure Data Studio`**

2. **In the `SERVERS` page, click `New Connection`**

3. **Configure the connection**

   1. Select `PostgreSQL` for `Connection type`.
   2. Configure the server name, database, username, port, and password using your [connection details](/integrate/find-connection-details/index.md).
   3. Click `Advanced`. If you configured your Tiger Cloud service to connect using [stricter SSL mode](/deploy/tiger-cloud/tiger-cloud-aws/security/strict-ssl/index.md), set `SSL mode` to the configured mode, then type the location of your SSL root CA certificate in `SSL root certificate filename`.
   4. In the `Port` field, type the port number and click `OK`.

4. **Click `Connect`**

You have successfully integrated Azure Data Studio with Tiger Cloud.
