github.com/tilotech/tilores-cli@v0.28.0/README.md (about) 1 # Tilores CLI 2 3 ## What is Tilores? 4 5 Tilores is a highly-scalable entity-resolution technology that was 6 originally developed to connect internal data together. The technology was 7 developed because we found that no other technology on the market could 8 deliver the speed, scalability or cost performance we demanded. 9 10 ### What is Entity Resolution? 11 12 Entity resolution (ER) is the connecting of non-identical, related data from 13 disparate sources to “entities”. Entities can be anything from people, to 14 companies, to financial transactions. 15 16 ### Why is this important? 17 18 Companies today are collecting more and more data, of varying quality and 19 from different/disparate sources, but they are only able to productively use 20 a fraction of this data. Why? Because matching this data together so that one 21 has the full data picture, is technically very difficult, especially at scale 22 and when data must be accessed in real-time. 23 24 In order to fully utilise and get value from data resources - both 25 internal and externally-sourced - the data needs to be matched together - 26 entity resolution - in a manner which can be searched quickly. 27 28 ## Quick Start 29 30 You need to have a valid license or test agreement in order to install Tilores 31 into your own account. For a quick test, you can visit the 32 [public SaaS version of Tilores](https://app.tilores.io). 33 34 1. Install the CLI 35 36 ``` 37 go install github.com/tilotech/tilores-cli@latest 38 tilores-cli version 39 ``` 40 41 2.

If you want to test the API in your own AWS account, you can do so via 52 53 ``` 54 tilores-cli deploy --region <your-aws-region> 55 ``` 56 57 Please note, that this requires at least 58 [Terraform in version 1.x.x](https://www.terraform.io) to be installed. 59 60 6. Removing the API again from your AWS can be done by 61 62 ``` 63 tilores-cli destroy --region <your-aws-region> 64 ``` 65 66 More help to get started: 67 68 * [Tilores Documentation](https://docs.tilotech.io) 69 * [Tilores Website](https://tilores.io) for general information 70 * [Tilores Public SaaS](https://app.tilores.io)
