Tutorials

Tutorials are step-by-step examples that end in a working plugin and verified output. They are grouped as tracks so it is clear which pages build on the same plugin.

Before You Start

Install Firecube first: start with the Quickstart or Installation page. Run tutorial commands in the same Python environment where Firecube is installed.

First Plugin Track

• Weather CSV Plugin — build the smallest useful Zarr plugin from local CSV files.
• Weather CSV: Source Discovery — keep the same plugin and control which source files Firecube batches.
• Weather CSV: Observability — keep the same plugin and add one product-specific metric.

Product Examples

• Sentinel-3 FRP Plugin — build a small Parquet plugin for downloaded Sentinel-3 FRP products.

Advanced Zarr

• Direct Parallel Zarr — write fixed Zarr slot ranges with DirectZarrIngestor.

Next Steps

• Plugins — understand the plugin system
• Output Formats — choose Zarr, Parquet, or Tensogram
• Parallelism — choose a safe parallel model
