# Guides

From building your first integration to setting up high availability, this section covers the practical side of working with Frends. You'll find walkthroughs for developers, platform administrators, and everyone in between — whether you're [writing your first Process](/guides/development/how-to-create-integrations.md), [configuring authentication](/guides/api-management/setting-up-api-policies.md), or keeping an eye on [what's running in production](/guides/integration-management/how-to-use-dashboard.md).

If you're new to Frends, you might head to [Getting Started section](/get-started/getting-started-guide.md) first. If you're working toward a Frends certificate, our [Learning Paths](/guides/learning-paths/overview.md) will take you there in a structured way.
