Learn DevOps by fixing real outages.

Learn the concept, then fix a live outage by typing the real commands, then walk into your DevOps or SRE interview knowing exactly why. Beginner to Expert.

No signup. Runs in your browser, on desktop or phone. First 3 incidents and every Learn concept are free.

Learn it. Fix it. Explain it.

Every level is a production incident. You don't pick A, B, C or D. You type the command, then explain the root cause.

1

Learn the concept

A plain definition, the commands to know and real interview questions with model answers. Free for everyone.

2

Fix the live incident

Get the alert, run through the server farm, open four terminals: find the cause, apply the fix, verify it. Wrong commands teach you why.

3

Explain it in the interview

Each level ends with a root-cause debrief and a runbook cheat sheet of the commands to remember.

Linux incidents, from Beginner to Expert. The ones interviewers ask about.

Disk, memory, CPU, permissions, networking, firewalls, SSH and more, grouped into three tiers. New incidents are added regularly, and more worlds (Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, Terraform, AWS) are on the way.

Start free. Unlock everything when you're ready.

One payment. Your license key is emailed right after.

FAQ

What is the Learn tab?

A free library of concept cards: a plain definition, key points, the commands to know and interview questions with model answers. Read a concept, then practise the matching incident.

Is this a real Linux server?

No. The terminals are simulated, so there's nothing to install and nothing can break. But the commands, flags and outputs are the real ones you'd use on-call.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. There are on-screen controls and a touch keyboard for the terminals. A laptop is more comfortable for typing.

How do I get my key?

After payment your license key is emailed to you. Open the game, click "Unlock all levels" and paste it. Your progress is saved in your browser.

Can I use it on more than one device?

One license key works on one device at a time. If you get a new laptop or phone, you can move your key yourself (up to 2 times) from the Unlock box. Your key is saved on the device you paid on.

Who is it for?

Anyone preparing for DevOps, SRE, sysadmin or cloud interviews, and new engineers who want on-call practice.
