+
+To run Tyk on KraftCloud, first [install the `kraft` CLI tool](https://unikraft.org/docs/cli).
+This example uses a MariaDB back-end.
+Clone this examples repository and `cd` into this directory, and invoke:
+
+```console
+kraft cloud compose up
+```
+
+After deploying, you can query the service using the provided URL.
+
+```console
+curl https://<NAME>.<METRO>.kraft.host/hello
+```
+```text
+{"data":[[6]]}
+```
