- The homepage says each exercise runs locally with Docker Compose and uses the system’s Prometheus metrics to check recovery.
Field notes
The sample exercise includes a checkout API outage, an exhausted connection pool, and stakeholder messages requesting customer updates and an ETA. The site says learners run scenarios locally with Docker Compose and that Prometheus metrics determine recovery; the supplied page does not independently demonstrate those mechanics. It also describes timed solves, ordered hints, and user-authored scenarios.
