Tradeoff Studio Makes Architecture Failures Playable

Field notes

The homepage exposes a six-node checkout model with a healthy baseline of 24 requests per second, 128 ms response time, no errors, and no in-flight requests. Its controls let a reader advance the simulation one second at a time and apply three payment-provider failures: slowing responses, failing every call, or failing one call in five. A separate pattern index connects the experiment to Circuit Breaker, Saga, CQRS, Strangler Fig, and Event-Driven Architecture.
