Getting Started

This document covers the preparation of the development environment, quick start and basic tutorials of Kitex.

Overview

The Quick Start section is primarily aimed at developers who are new to Kitex. This section does not cover complex service governance topics but aims to provide users with a basic understanding and quick usage of Kitex’s RPC functionality. You can find more information in the Tutorials.

If you are a beginner, it is recommended to follow the order of Prerequisites -> Basic Examples -> Advanced Tutorials to complete the Quick Start section. If you already have some development experience, you can directly read the Advanced Tutorials and start your Kitex journey after completing all the sections.

What You Will Learn

Through the Prerequisites and Basic Examples sections, you will gain a preliminary understanding of RPC concepts and use Kitex to quickly start our sample code, launching an RPC service and making calls.

In the Advanced Tutorials section, you will learn how to build RPC servers and clients from scratch using Kitex, and perform client-to-server calls.

In the Code Examples section, we provide practical examples of various Kitex features to help you better understand Kitex.
