This page directs you to step-by-step tutorials for working with CockroachDB on Cockroach Continuum.

The tutorials in this section use standard CockroachDB drivers and tools and work with any Continuum cluster.

## Get started

* Follow <InternalLink path="tutorial-quickstart">Quickstart with CockroachDB</InternalLink> to create your first cluster, connect to it, and run your first queries.

## Migrate data

* Follow <InternalLink path="tutorial-migrate-sample-database">Migrate a Sample Database</InternalLink> migrate a sample PostgreSQL database to Continuum with the Migration Assistant, from schema conversion through data verification.

## Develop and connect

* Build an application with a language-specific driver or ORM (Python, Node.js, Go, or Java). Refer to <InternalLink path="develop-and-connect-overview">Develop and Connect</InternalLink> for language tutorials and connection guidance.

## Manage workloads

* Follow <InternalLink path="tutorial-virtual-cluster">Create Your First Virtual Cluster</InternalLink> after creating a host cluster, to provision your first virtual cluster and connect to it.

## Monitor and optimize

* Follow <InternalLink path="aegis-example-workflows">Aegis Example Workflows</InternalLink> to run a sample workload against a cluster connected to Cockroach Aegis, understand the transaction contention it reports, and review and apply an index recommendation.
