With its decoupled architecture, CrafterCMS has two main subsystems: Authoring and Delivery. If you're just trying things out, you can simply run Authoring (which includes In-Context Site Preview), and then add Delivery when ready to publish content out to end-points serving your audience. Learn about CrafterCMS architecture in our docs.
