You have successfully installed Kestra, executed and reviewed your first Flow.

But let's be honest, logging "Hello World" isn't going to solve many business problems. Now, it's time to leave the sandbox behind and focus on creating robust, real-world Flows that actually deliver value.

This module is dedicated to teaching you Kestra's essential building blocks - the concepts that transform a simple list of tasks into a dynamic, enterprise-grade automation solution. You will learn how to make your Flow orchestration flexible, reliable, and deeply integrated:

  1. Dynamic Flows: We will show you how to use Inputs and Variables so your Flows can accept external data and adapt their behavior without you having to rewrite the code every time.

  2. Triggers and Scheduling: You will learn how to execute Flows precisely when needed, whether that's on a CRON schedule or in response to an external event.

  3. Core Flow Control: You will learn how to handle complexity using Flowable Tasks, such as If conditions, Parallelexecution, and Each loops - giving your flows true logic and intelligence.

  4. External Integration: We will dive into Plugins, revealing how Kestra connects seamlessly to databases, cloud providers (like AWS or GCP), messaging queues, and other services that power your organization.

By the end of this module, you will have all the tools necessary to design, build, and deploy any complex automation you can imagine. Let's get started on those real-world orchestration Flows!
