Tutorials

Learning-oriented documentation: guided, end-to-end paths that build a working mental model by doing. Each tutorial is safe to run on a disposable local cluster and tells you exactly what you should see at every step.

• :material-rocket-launch: Bring up the platform locally — make local-up creates the disposable tend-local kind cluster the tutorial below assumes

  Stand up a minimal Tend platform on a local kind cluster: the Tend operator, the data gateway, and the App CRD. Ends with a healthy platform you can poke at — and an honest map of what the full stack adds.

• :material-application-brackets: Your first governed app

  Take one app through the local governed path: prompt it into existence, read the App CR that governs it, exercise the data gateway, get denied on purpose, and see where the evidence trail lands.

Tutorials vs how-to guides

Tutorials teach by a fixed happy path; they are not the place to look when you have a specific job with your own parameters — that's the how-to guides. If a step here fails, first check the prerequisites at the top of each tutorial.
