# Introduction

Welcome to the documentation for WarpStream, a diskless data streaming platform designed to seamlessly integrate with cloud object stores such as S3, GCP, and Azure while remaining compatible with Apache Kafka.

To learn more, we recommend reviewing our documentation in the following order:

1. [WarpStream architecture](https://docs.warpstream.com/warpstream/overview/architecture) to learn the basic principals of how WarpStream works.
2. Run the [WarpStream demo](https://docs.warpstream.com/warpstream/getting-started/demo) to see the product in action.

Finally once you're ready to deploy WarpStream to one of your live environments, you can create a free WarpStream account by going to <https://console.warpstream.com/signup> and then follow our documentation to [deploy the Agents](https://docs.warpstream.com/warpstream/agent-setup/deploy).
