I built a game where you build the AWS setup, send a packet, and watch it die at the exact hop that drops it

Solo maker post. Tracesleuth is a browser game for learning AWS. It went live on Monday; 7 stages are free with no sign-up: https://play.tracesleuth.com (desktop browser only). What it does. Each stage is a realistic AWS scenario: a bakery moving its storefront into a VPC, a data lake whose queries cost too much, a policy that denies the wrong person.

痛点:AWS 认证备考者靠题库死记硬背,难以理解请求/数据包在真实架构中究竟在哪一跳失败以及为什么失败。

目标用户:准备 AWS 认证(尤其是 Solutions Architect Associate)的考生、云架构初学者和需要排障训练的开发者。

证据:7 stages free, then one-time, no subscription: $10 to $30 per exam path or $25 per domain, USD before tax through Paddle. 14-day refund if you have cleared under 20 % of what you bought.

变现:按认证路径或知识域一次性买断($10–$30),提供全路径 bundle、团队/企业授权,以及后续新增认证路径的付费扩展包。

MVP:两周内只做一个认证域(如 VPC 网络排障),用手写规则实现 10–15 个确定性模拟关卡,逐跳展示失败点并附概念解释;3 关免费免注册,Paddle/Stripe 一次性解锁付费。

竞品:Tutorials Dojo、Whizlabs、A Cloud Guru、ExamPro、Cloud Academy

摘要:独立开发者发布 Tracesleuth,一个用确定性模拟器逐跳展示 AWS 请求/数据包失败点的浏览器学习游戏,含 198 个手工关卡、覆盖 6 个域,7 关免费,按考试路径 $10–$30 一次性收费。帖子验证了“交互式 AWS 排障学习”这一细分方向,但未披露收入或用户购买数据,付费意愿仍待验证。
