# Guides

> Step-by-step guides for common Datum tasks: deploy an app, serve it on your own domain, require sign-in, and point DNS at a load balancer.

Start with one of these complete tasks:

* [Deploy an app](https://datum.net/docs/getting-started/first-workload.md) on Compute.
* [Serve traffic on your own domain](https://datum.net/docs/alb/operations/custom-domains.md) with an Application Load Balancer.
* [Require sign-in](https://datum.net/docs/alb/authentication/overview) before requests reach your app.
* [Point a domain at a load balancer](https://datum.net/docs/domain-dns/point-to-alb.md) with Datum DNS.

More guides are on the way. The product documentation in the **Docs** tab covers how to set up and run each product.
