Build. Break. Brainstorm.
Drag-and-drop real AWS services, wire them together, and simulate live traffic. Then inject faults and watch failures cascade through your architecture in real time. Export to CloudFormation or Terraform with auto-inferred IAM in one click. AI Design Doctor grades your architecture and catches anti-patterns. Collaborate in real time with live cursors. Tackle 10 architecture challenges with automated validation. No AWS account needed. Runs entirely in your browser.
The platform allows users to break systems intentionally, observe failure modes, and understand resilience patterns through direct interaction rather than passive learning
Cascode provides an interactive playground where users can build AWS architectures, simulate message flows, and inject failures to develop practical intuition for production system behavior without needing real infrastructure
The tool simulates AWS-specific architectures and message flows, helping engineers understand how AWS services interact and behave under various conditions
Cascode offers challenge-based learning and an open canvas for brainstorming, enabling users to test hypotheses and validate their understanding of system design patterns
