Impala runs in your AWS account. This guide walks you through deploying the Impala data plane — from downloading the deployment package to your active platform.

Prerequisites

  • An Impala invitation from your Impala contact
  • Terraform installed (use the latest version — terraform.io)
  • AWS credentials configured on the machine you’ll run the deployment from
Time to complete: ~30 minutes (a few minutes setup, then automated deployment)

Step 1 — Download the deployment package

  1. Log in to the Impala platform using the link in your invitation email
  2. You’ll land on the Infrastructure Setup page
  3. Click Download Assets — this downloads terraform-assets.zip
Infrastructure Setup

Step 2 — Run the deployment script

Open a terminal and run:
unzip terraform-assets.zip
./deploy.sh --tfvars-file terraform.tfvars --local-backend
The script deploys all infrastructure stacks in the correct order. This takes approximately 30 minutes.
During the deployment, a browser window will open automatically. Log in with your Impala credentials when prompted — this completes the infrastructure registration. Don’t close the terminal while this is running.

Step 3 — Wait for activation

Once the script finishes and you’ve logged in during the process, your infrastructure registers automatically. Go back to the Impala platform — it will update to confirm your environment is ready. No further action needed. If the page hasn’t updated after the script completes, use the “Registration didn’t work? Submit output manually” option on the setup page to send the deployment output to Impala’s team.

You’re in!

Once activation is confirmed, you’ll land on the Impala dashboard. You’ll see your run history, cost, and token usage here.
