YouBrokeProd

YouBrokeProd is a browser-based incident response training platform that puts engineers in simulated production outages to build real debugging instincts. Built for SREs, DevOps engineers, and platform teams, it offers 10 scenarios based on real post-mortems — from database failures to Kubernetes crashloops to AI-caused disasters. Each scenario runs entirely in the browser with no setup required, featuring a simulated terminal, logs, metrics, and a ticking clock. Teams can compete on leaderboards, track skill gaps, and build shared muscle memory before the real 3 AM page arrives.

• Browser-Based Terminal Simulations — Sign up free with GitHub or Google and start playing immediately; no installs or setup required.
• Real Post-Mortem Scenarios — 10 scenarios drawn from actual production incidents, covering databases, Kubernetes, DNS, security, and AI-caused outages.
• Difficulty Levels — Scenarios range from beginner to advanced, making the platform suitable for junior developers through senior engineers.
• Triage & Fix Workflow — Receive a paged briefing, investigate using real commands, submit a root cause diagnosis, apply a fix, and review a detailed debrief.
• Scoring & Leaderboards — Scored on speed, accuracy, and efficiency; global and team leaderboards track progress over time.
• Team Training Mode — Run the same incident across your entire team, compare scores, identify skill gaps, and assign scenarios with deadlines via an admin dashboard.
• Post-Mortem Explanations — Every scenario includes a detailed breakdown of the optimal diagnostic path and what the real incident looked like.
• Daily Challenges & Streaks — Keep skills sharp between real incidents with daily challenges and streak tracking.
• AI Incident Scenarios — Includes scenarios based on real AI agent disasters, such as a Claude Code terraform destroy wiping a production database.
