Getting Started

Our entire platform is built around the LittleHorse Kernel: while many components can be used on their own, each component has integrations with the Kernel in order to provide a seamless developer experience. Therefore, we suggest that you first start your LittleHorse journey with the Kernel.
QuickStarts​
If you just want to get your hands dirty and see the platform in action, we've created some quickstarts for you. We recommend starting with the Kernel and using the runnable code in the LittleHorse Developer Hub. We are glad you're here!
Kernel Quickstart
Write your first Task Worker and WfSpec, and run your first WfRuns with the LittleHorse Kernel.
User Tasks Bridge Quickstart
Use User Tasks Bridge to create your first user and execute User Tasks in the Kernel.
LH Connect Quickstart
An API Gateway and Apache Kafka Connectors to responsively trigger workflows in the Kernel.

Saddle Quickstart
