Overview
This quick start guide will walk you through the process of setting up and using Latitude, whether you choose to use Latitude Cloud or self-host the platform. By the end of this guide, you’ll have created your first prompt, tested it, and learned how to evaluate and deploy it. Latitude offers two deployment options:- Latitude Cloud: A fully managed solution that allows you to get started quickly without worrying about infrastructure.
- Latitude Self-Hosted: An open-source version that you can deploy and manage on your own infrastructure for complete control and customization.
