ExplanationApplies to: Unified engine deployments

Start with Learn Laminar for practical examples. Use Workloads to build and schedule task workflows, Streaming to define continuous pipelines with SQL, and the SQL reference to look up query syntax and functions. Use HTTP API to send real requests and build integrations, Recipes for complete workflows, and Operations to inspect and configure an instance.

## Browse and search

Expand a collection in the sidebar, then choose a topic. The current topic opens automatically. Search finds pages and sections across all published collections. Use **Contents** above an article to jump to a section.

## Run examples

Copy examples into the matching product workspace or your own client. SQL practice lessons include their own data. Examples that create stored tables need a writable catalog. Streaming examples need their listed external services and Streaming workers. Running `CREATE STREAMING PIPELINE` starts continuous work by default.
