1. Introduction
Imagine you are trying to automate a process: pulling sales data from a database, transforming it, and sending a daily report to your team. You have scripts in Python, a tool for the database, and a separate one for email. It's a mess, right?
Kestra is built to solve that exact problem. Using orchestration it brings all those pieces together into one elegant, automated workflow.
Throughout this course you will see the following:
Tip:
Look out for these helpful hints and quick pieces of information that can make a task easier or a concept clearer.
Note:
Here you will find more general information, such as whether we will be covering certain points later in more detail or what might be outside of the scope of the course.
Warning:
Don't be worried if you come across one of these! Warnings are designed to alert you that a certain action, a specific line of code or a particular approach might lead to a potential problem or a risky practice. See it as a heads-up.
Try it yourself:
What better way to learn Kestra than attempting the action or step for yourself? We have added short exercises throughout so that you can try out what you have just learnt. We would encourage you to do them as you go along so that you can get practical experience, but these exercises do not form part of the requirements for the final certificate.
