# Tutorials

**Learning-oriented guides that take you through a series of steps to complete a project.**

Tutorials are lessons that help you gain practical skills and familiarity with cdk8s-plone. They are designed to be followed step-by-step and will get you up and running.

## What you'll learn

The quick start teaches you how to:

- Define a Plone deployment with the `Plone` construct
- Synthesize Kubernetes manifests with `cdk8s synth`
- Apply the manifests and reach the running site

For tasks beyond the first deployment, such as configuring a database, caching, or scaling, see the {doc}`/how-to/index`.

If you're new to CDK8S, we recommend reading the [CDK8S documentation](https://cdk8s.io/) first to understand how constructs work.
