Understand your score
Good decisions earn XP and improve reputation. Risky decisions reduce production health and trust. Your career XP uses the best result per case, so replaying improves your understanding without generating unlimited XP.
Five career ranks are planned across the full library. The three free cases allow up to 840 XP, reaching Production DBA. Higher ranks require the future full library.
Write a useful handoff
Include business impact, the evidence-supported cause, the action taken, how recovery was validated, and follow-up work. Notes stay on your device and are not evaluated by AI.
Practice safely
All environments are fictional. No SQL is executed. The examples are learning references; production changes require environment-specific review, approvals, recovery planning, and coordination with service owners.
Paid library
Seven additional incidents are coming soon at a planned $29 one-time price. No purchases are available during the free beta.
