Tutorials
Tutorials are end-to-end walkthroughs that take you from zero to a working Fractal Cloud setup. Unlike How-Tos (which focus on specific tasks like "create a service" or "configure a resource"), tutorials guide you through complete scenarios. You'll go from creating your first Live System to deploying a full application stack while understanding the entire workflow from planning to production.
Each tutorial is designed to be self-contained and hands-on. You'll learn by doing while working through real-world scenarios that demonstrate how different Fractal Cloud features work together. We provide both GUI-based approaches for visual setup in the dashboard plus SDK-based approaches for automation and GitOps workflows. You can choose the path that fits your workflow best.
These tutorials are ideal for new users who want to see the complete picture. They're also useful for experienced users who want to explore different deployment methods. By the end of each tutorial, you'll have a working system plus the knowledge to adapt the pattern to your own use cases.
