+# Getting Started with Knative
+
+Welcome! This guide helps you get started with Knative based on your goals and experience level.
+
+## What is Knative?
+
+Knative is a Kubernetes-based platform for deploying and managing serverless workloads. It provides components for building, deploying, and running applications that automatically scale, including scaling to zero when idle.
+
+## Choose Your Path
+
+### I want to try Knative quickly
+
+**Perfect for:** Developers who want hands-on experience
+
+Follow our step-by-step tutorial:
+
+1. [Install Knative locally](quickstart-install.md) - Set up using kind or minikube (10 minutes)
+2. [Deploy your first service](first-service.md) - Create and test a simple application
+3. [Explore autoscaling](first-autoscale.md) - See how Knative scales your app
+4. [Clean up](clean-up.md) - Remove the local installation
+
+**Prerequisites:** Docker, kubectl, 3 CPUs, 3 GB RAM
+
+---
+
+### I want to understand Knative first
+
+**Perfect for:** Evaluators and decision makers
+
+- [What is Knative?](which-knative.md) - Overview of components and use cases
+- [About Knative Functions](about-knative-functions.md) - Simplified function development
+- [Documentation overview](../README.md) - Navigate all Knative docs
+
+Then proceed to the [installation options](../install/) for production deployments.
+
+---
+
+### I want to explore event-driven features
+
+**Perfect for:** Building event-driven applications
+
+1. [Getting started with Eventing](getting-started-eventing.md) - Introduction to event-driven architecture
+2. [Create an event source](first-source.md) - Generate events
+3. [Set up a broker](first-broker.md) - Route events to services
+4. [Configure triggers](first-trigger.md) - Filter and deliver events
+
+---
+
+### I want to build serverless functions
+
+**Perfect for:** Function-as-a-Service development
+
+1. [Install the func CLI](install-func.md) - Set up the functions CLI
+2. [Create a function](create-a-function.md) - Build your first function
+3. [Build and deploy](build-run-deploy-func.md) - Deploy to Knative
+
+---
+
+## What's Next?
+
+After completing the getting started tutorials:
+
+- [Next steps](next-steps.md) - Continue your Knative journey
+- [Traffic splitting](first-traffic-split.md) - Implement canary deployments
+- [Code samples](../samples/) - Explore real-world examples
+- [Complete tutorial](tutorial.md) - End-to-end application walkthrough
