Advanced Tutorials
======================================================

The following advanced tutorials assume familiarity with distributed computing
concepts. If terms like "workers," "schedulers," "containers," or "declarative
programming" are unfamiliar, please start with the :ref:`beginner_tutorials`
first.

Getting Started
---------------

.. toctree::
   :maxdepth: 1

   ../01_getting_started
   ../02_manifest_system

These introductory tutorials assume no prior Scalable experience. Start here
if you are new to the framework.

Core Capabilities
-----------------

.. toctree::
   :maxdepth: 1

   ../03_scaling_strategies
   ../04_caching_performance
   ../05_cloud_integration
   ../06_telemetry
   ../07_error_handling

These tutorials cover Scalable's primary feature set. They assume you have
completed the Getting Started tutorials and have a working local environment.

Advanced Topics
---------------

.. toctree::
   :maxdepth: 1

   ../08_kubernetes
   ../09_ml_emulation
   ../10_ai_composition

These tutorials explore Scalable's advanced and differentiating capabilities.
They assume familiarity with the core features and, in some cases, access to
external infrastructure (Kubernetes clusters, cloud accounts).

Running the Demeter Example End-to-End
---------------------------------------

.. toctree::
   :maxdepth: 1

   ../demeter_setup

The tutorials above use a real Demeter LULCC pipeline as their running
example. The setup guide above explains the one-time installation and
data download you need to actually execute the code blocks.
