Welcome to the Tecton Guides section! Here you'll find several explanations and walkthroughs which attempt to answer questions you may have and troubleshoot challenges you may encounter.
It's important to understand that the Tecton suite is made up of multiple technologies and use-cases that may or may not be relevant to you and your team.
You can read about each of those below.
Building a Platform
Perhaps you are working on a large application and desire the ability to support loading and displaying extensions, also known as micro-frontends, to your users. This can be nice for breaking up large codebases into smaller feature sets.
Setting this up largely requires the use of the q2-tecton-platform library and authoring some code to configure some of the capabilities.
Building an extension
Perhaps you are working on a product that you need to get displayed within a platform. You may also want to make use of the design system that Tecton offers to help speed up development while ensuring a consistent look and feel between your product and the platform it gets rendered in.
This is where the q2-tecton-sdk package comes into play, and requires little-else to get you started.
Using the design system
Maybe you're one of the many products that don't need the full suite of technologies that Tecton offers. Maybe all you want to do is utilize the design system that Tecton offers to speed up your development and ensure that your product has a similar look and feel to other products across your company.
This is possible through a simple function that is called from the q2-tecton-sdk library that gets you up and running with only a few lines of code.
