Step-by-step tutorials that take you from zero to a running workload on a 3-node Ferrosa cluster. Each guide starts from docker compose up and ends with live queries.
| Before you begin: Every tutorial in this collection uses the same 3-node Docker cluster. If you haven’t set one up yet, start with the 3-Node Cluster Setup guide. It takes about 5 minutes. |
