Run Prelude on your own infrastructure in minutes. Pick a product, copy the commands, and follow the link to its full documentation when you want the complete walkthrough.

Quick Test

The Collector runs alongside Postgres and NATS. Drop in the compose file and start collecting — everything is configured through environment variables. The full walkthrough — TLS certs, API tokens, licensing — lives in the guide.
