Closing Notes

With the introduction of the tutorial series to the documentation site, we want to bring you a more comprehensive “get-started” experience with Dgraph. Moreover, the tutorial contents will be actively maintained and kept up to date with the latest version of  Dgraph.

But if you prefer the older version of the “Get started with Dgraph” page, you can still access it from the notice text that is on the top of the current version page or from here.

We will release more tutorials of the getting started series in the future, so stay tuned. Till then, happy Graphing!
