The most relevant presentation for the beginners is probably this one: https://www.slideshare.net/arafalov/rapid-solr-schema-development-phone-directory . Some other presentations are next to it under the same username.
Simple configs that are opposite to Solr's current kitchen sink approach are: https://github.com/arafalov/simplest-solr-config . Understanding both and their differences was very helpful to my learning process. Related presentation is at: https://www.slideshare.net/arafalov/rebuilding-solr-6-examples-layer-by-layer-lucenesolrrevolution-2016 . Tweaking data before schema is URPs: https://solr.apache.org/guide/8_8/update-request-processors.html , I find they are like a hidden power not many people realize about. https://solr.apache.org/guide/8_8/update-request-processors.html . For example Schemaless mode is just a bunch of URPs. Regards, Alex. P.s. Deployment story is a separate discussion, deserving its own thread. Make sure to give a bit more details on clustered/non-clustered, version, specific pains, etc. There are many people with different needs and experiences.
