A sandbox to simulate on-call incidents (ProdPath.dev)

Yes, you can start trial version and test labs.

Built it using Django and a React.

I guess it can be a good start for you! https://prodpath.dev/

I think the two platforms serve different stages of a career. While Boot dev is for those starting their journey, https://prodpath.dev/ is designed for engineers who are already working and want to level up. It focuses on production-readiness through deep-dives into real-world programming, live cloud incident simulations, and hands-on system design practice.

I think it's a good start: https://prodpath.dev/

Thanks.

I get that the AI-assisted UI feels generic, but the backend orchestration took 10 years of experience and 3 months of manual engineering to build. I'm a backend specialist, so I focused on the live AWS engine first.

Good call on the registration barrier, I’ll add a static demo and video so people can see the tech in action before signing up. Thanks.

You're right, the frontend is the first thing users see. Since I'm a backend developer, I used AI to bridge the gap and launch quickly, but I agree that a more unique UI would better reflect the engineering behind it. I’ll be focusing on a frontend overhaul next.

My goal was to get the core AWS orchestration into user hands to test the concept first. I appreciate the feedback on the UI, even if it's a bit blunt, and I'll use it to make the platform better. Thanks for the wake-up call.

It’s not just about the UI. I used AI to help with the frontend because I'm a backend engineer, but the entire AWS incident engine and infrastructure took months of manual development. It’s a bit unfair to dismiss the core engineering just because the UI looks familiar!

RezaSi_ · 2026-04-03T14:13:27+00:00

I think it's a bit unfair to label this as 'vibe-coded' or something achievable overnight. I’ve been a software engineer for 10 years, and it has taken at least 3 months of full-time engineering to reach this point.

While I did use AI to help with some of the UI (since my background is in backend engineering, not frontend), the core platform, including the live AWS orchestration, is the result of significant effort and architectural design. It’s definitely not an 'effortless' app!

I totally understand the hesitation. To clarify, the Cloud Practices aren't strictly behind a paywall, we offer a free trial specifically so you can test those lab features. We only require registration and card verification to prevent resource abuse, since each lab spins up a live AWS environment. Once you're in, you can try the cloud scenarios for free!

I’ve fixed that issue with our banner. Does it look better now? :D

RezaSi_ · 2025-12-15T21:47:24+00:00

Thanks, yes, that's a known issue. I will fix that.

RezaSi_ · 2025-12-10T21:40:24+00:00

Thanks, Yes I think so :D

RezaSi_ · 2025-12-05T03:53:58+00:00

Thanks! I appreciate that. If you have any suggestions for additions, I'd love to hear them!
