The Lonely DevOps

Yes. No account, no email gate, and nothing in the game costs real money. Bots and Terraform are bought with the revenue your stack earns while prod is up.

Yes, in any modern mobile browser. Blocks and devs are sized for tapping, and the tower fits a portrait screen. A desktop with a mouse is faster, so expect higher scores there.

Every day the stack starts from the same seed for everyone: the same block order, the same fires, the same devs walking up at the same moments. That puts every run on one leaderboard for the day. Free play uses a random seed and has its own all-time board.

Not yet. Today every run is one engineer against the stack, which is rather the point. Compare valuations on the high-score table for now; rooms where several of you hold up one stack are next.

Because every DevOps engineer we know has lived every event in it: the shoulder tap mid-deploy, the fire that climbs from the database to prod, the quick sync that cannot be declined. We wanted something honest about the job that is also fun for five minutes. The free call in the game is the same free 30-minute call we offer for real, with the same solution architects.
