Hi Everyone,
I´m on my journey to start learning about Appian Platform, i´ve played a role of architect for multiple BPM iniciatives and i´m looking to leverage my knowledge with the appian solution. So i contact the community to point me to a starting point about the following topics.
1. Appian architecture blueprint
2. Appian deployment strategy
3. Appian test sandbox (on premise free trial installation, container image or else)
4. basic tutoorial for different modules (BPM, RPA, IPA/ML)
Thanks to you in advance for your time and help
Regards,
Juan Carlos

Hi Robert and thank you for your kick response,
More than a deployment strategy as I ask in first instance, I would like to know about the component architecture (components involved, tier/layer diagraman, integration strategy).
regards,
Juan
I initially provided the incorrect link to our architecture diagram.
I updated that.
Have a look here: https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/19.4/Enterprise_Architecture_Overview.html
Also, here's a link to the installation guide for the latest release.

You will not be able to run a local on-premises instance of Appian without a license.
Appian platform administration is in some ways it's own discipline.Unless you have a specific vested interest in platform administration and maintenance (as opposed to application development) my recommendation for learning the platform would be to start with the cloud trial & online learning and not installation.

Appian is composed of several core components, including a front-end server, backend in-memory database engines, search servers, relational databases, data services, and an internal messaging service. The web application serves user requests, while the engines store metadata and runtime data. For a detailed overview, refer to the Enterprise Architecture Overview. Purchase SolidWorks 2020 Premium with exclusive savings available online. You can deploy applications and packages using methods like compare and deploy, programmatic APIs, or manual export/import. Understand dependencies (e.g., application configurations, import customization files) during deployment. Explore the Deployment Guidelines and Deploying Applications documentation. To explore Appian, start with the Appian Community Edition. It provides a dedicated cloud environment for building apps without time constraints. You’ll have access to free online training, tutorials, and hands-on resources.
