Path 1 · First App

~30 minutes. From zero to a deployed, observable app you can call over HTTP.

1. Your first pipeline in 3 minutes — deploy, send, tail.
2. Anatomy of pulse.yaml — the three blocks, line by line.
3. Sources & sinks — the connector tour — swap where events come from; stages don't care.
4. Start from a template — 220+ known-good shapes, one command.
5. Call your app from anywhere — the HTTP/SSE surface every client uses.

Where you land: you can scaffold, deploy, feed, observe and integrate an app — the complete outer loop. Next: Streaming Mastery for the stateful middle, or AI Pipelines to add a model.
