New interactive 'Getting started' guide (August 30, 2024)

We’re excited to announce our streamlined “Getting started” guide that provides interactive code samples using the CodeSandbox platform.

Many of you asked for a simpler guide that incorporated more code examples, so we revamped the guide to better meet your needs and help you learn the basics quickly.

What’s changed?

• Reduced length from seven steps to three: We reduced the guide from seven steps to three.

• Introduced scenario-based activity: We structured the guide around an example scenario to provide context and aid your understanding of the end goal.

• Incorporated interactive code samples: Using the CodeSandbox development platform, we created three apps in Go that correspond with each step in the guide (we’ll add additional languages in the future). You can modify and experiment with these apps to gain a better understanding of our products. The code samples are also available in GitHub repos if you’d rather work with them locally.

• Added examples in curl: We also included the equivalent curl commands for each step.
