Scouter currently lacks clear getting started documentation, making it difficult for new developers to get up and running quickly.

Tasks

• Write a "Getting Started" guide covering installation, basic setup, and first use
• Document how to spin up the local server (Docker backends + make start.server)
• Add a quickstart example for each core feature: drift detection (PSI/SPC/custom), tracing, and GenAI evaluation
• Document environment variables required for the server
• Add a section on the Python client (ScouterClient, Drifter, ScouterQueue)
• Ensure docs are linked from the README

Notes

• Target audience: developers new to Scouter who want to integrate it into an ML workflow
• Should cover both the Python client and the self-hosted server setup
