     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.

    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. Initialize the project
    42  
    43  ```
    44  mkdir foocustomer
    45  cd foocustomer
    46  tilores-cli init
    47  ```
    48  
    49  1. Modify the schema files in the newly created `schema` folder.
    50  
    51  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  ```
