# Next Steps

Now that you have created a cluster in a Kubernetes environment, check out the following resources to continue your learning:

* [Optimizing Table Data Structures](https://docs.singlestore.com/db/v9.1/create-a-database/optimizing-table-data-structures.md): Learn the difference between columnstore and rowstore tables, when you should pick one over the other, how to pick a shard key, and so on.
* [How to Load Data into SingleStore](https://docs.singlestore.com/db/v9.1/load-data.md): Describes the different options you have when ingesting data into a cluster.
* [How to Run Queries](https://docs.singlestore.com/db/v9.1/query-data/basic-query-examples.md): Provides example schema and queries to begin exploring the potential of SingleStore.
* [Configure Monitoring](https://docs.singlestore.com/db/v9.1/reference/singlestore-operator-reference/monitor-your-kubernetes-cluster/configure-cluster-monitoring-with-the-operator.md): SingleStore’s native monitoring solution is designed to capture and reveal cluster events over time. By analyzing this event data, you can identify trends and, if necessary, take action to remediate issues.
* [SingleStore Operator Reference](https://docs.singlestore.com/db/v9.1/reference/singlestore-operator-reference.md): This section details the functions and configuration options that are available for the Operator.
