Choose a use case
Start with the path closest to the service you intend to build. Each path moves from a working example to the exact configuration and the production concerns that apply to it.

|---|---|---|---|
| A REST API or business-rule endpoint | Build your first service | Author a workflow and Configure a channel | Secure an instance |
| A webhook receiver and normalizer | Webhook worked example | Connect a database or API | Authentication and validation |
| A Kafka event consumer | Consume from Kafka | Channels and Timeouts, retries and circuit breakers | Monitor and alert |
| A scheduled job | Run work on a schedule | Channels | Cron occurrences |
| A database-backed service | Build an orders API end to end | Portable data dialect | Bound what connectors can reach |
