A full understanding of the spacetime evolution of the QCD matter created
in a heavy ion collision requires understanding the properties of the initial stages. In the
weak coupling picture these are dominated by classical gluon fields, whose properties
can also be studied via the scattering of dilute probes off a high energy hadron or nucleus.
A particular challenge is understanding small systems, where LHC data is also showing
signs of collective behavior. We discuss some recent results of on the initial matter production
and thermalization in heavy ion collisions, in particular in the gluon saturation
framework.
