Get running

One path, no choices: a local Kind cluster running the platform with a seeded PostgreSQL source, ending in a pipeline you can watch move data. Deploying elsewhere is a guide, not a fork in this road.

This page is a skeleton. Follow the README quick start until it is written.

The three steps

1. Check your machine — one command tells you what is missing and how to install it. Nothing else on this path asks you to install anything.
2. Deploy the stack — create the cluster and apply every release in dependency order.
3. Run your first pipeline — seed the demo database, create the platform resources, and watch change events arrive.

What this costs you

Time	~10 minutes warm, ~25 minutes on a cold image cache
Memory	8 GB RAM free (the stack does not fit comfortably in less)
Disk	~30 GB, mostly container images
Network	Pulls from quay.io, docker.io and ghcr.io

Everything runs locally and is deleted with a single teardown command. No cloud account is involved unless you follow one of the cloud guides.
