Every data incident, rebuilt as a timed challenge.

Real production outages — cloud-bill blowups, broken pipelines, latency drift — recompiled from post-mortems into hands-on sims. Open any one to read the problem and the systems involved, then diagnose it on the clock against expert keys.

The $516k Gap

Friday, 08:47. Finance Slack just pinged: the Q2 revenue tile on the CFO Looker dashboard reads $4.21M, but the ERP reconciliation says $3.69M. Six days of refunds appear to have vanished somewhere between Postgres and the boardroom. The CEO walks into the board room at 09:00.

The Small-Files Tax

It's 06:47. Finance Slack pinged overnight: analytics GCS bill jumped 4× last week, breaking the quarterly budget. No outages, no paging. Dashboards still render. Board prep starts at 08:00. You're on call.
