Why this matters

Teams usually struggle less with the API call itself than with understanding how the product behaves operationally after traffic starts flowing. This section is designed to solve that problem.

Recommended use

Use Core Concepts before deep API work if your team needs to understand how WatchTower behaves in production, not just how to call individual endpoints.
