Getting Started

Get prerequisites

Docker

You can download and install Docker on multiple platforms. See Get Docker.

Curl or Postman

We’ll only demonstrate using command-line curl for testing server requests, but you can also use Postman, a handy graphical tool, if you prefer.

Use Cloud Shell

Instead of installing Docker on your machine, you can use Cloud Shell.

Docker is preinstalled along with all the other tools you’ll need (and more) for this guide, such as git, curl, and an integrated development environment (IDE), including editor and terminal. Try it in your browser:

Clone the examples repo and change directory into it.
