# Examples

Use these examples when you want a concrete starting point instead of a conceptual guide. The examples in the Dynamo repository track `main`; if you are using a stable release, prefer the examples from the matching release branch or the versioned recipes in these docs.

## Start Here

- [Hello World custom backend](https://github.com/ai-dynamo/dynamo/tree/main/examples/custom_backend/hello_world) — a minimal GPU-unaware graph that demonstrates Dynamo's component model.
- [Kubernetes Quickstart](/dynamo/dev/kubernetes/getting-started/quickstart) — run a model on Kubernetes with the current recommended path.
- [CLI Getting Started](/dynamo/dev/cli/getting-started/introduction) — run Dynamo locally from the CLI.

## Backend Examples

- [vLLM local deployment examples](/dynamo/dev/recipes/cli-templates/v-llm) — CLI launch patterns for vLLM.
- [SGLang local deployment examples](/dynamo/dev/recipes/cli-templates/sg-lang) — CLI launch patterns for SGLang.
- [TensorRT-LLM local deployment examples](/dynamo/dev/recipes/cli-templates/tensor-rt-llm) — CLI launch patterns for TensorRT-LLM.

## Kubernetes Templates

- [vLLM DGD templates](/dynamo/dev/recipes/kubernetes-templates/dgd/v-llm) — aggregated, disaggregated, and multinode Kubernetes manifests.
- [SGLang DGD templates](/dynamo/dev/recipes/kubernetes-templates/dgd/sg-lang) — aggregated and disaggregated Kubernetes manifests.
- [TensorRT-LLM DGD templates](/dynamo/dev/recipes/kubernetes-templates/dgd/tensor-rt-llm) — TensorRT-LLM Kubernetes manifests.
- [DGDR template](/dynamo/dev/recipes/kubernetes-templates/dgdr) — profiler and planner driven deployment request example.

## Component Examples

- [Router Examples](/dynamo/dev/knowledge-base/modular-components/router/router-examples) — Python API usage, Kubernetes examples, and custom routing patterns.
- [Planner Examples](/dynamo/dev/knowledge-base/modular-components/planner/planner-examples) — custom load predictors and non-Kubernetes scaling environments.
- [Profiler Examples](/dynamo/dev/knowledge-base/modular-components/profiler/profiler-examples) — DGDR YAMLs and profiling script examples.
