Why this playground exists

How

  • Every page talks to a FastAPI backend that holds 5,000 simulated servers.
  • Controls change state; the UI shows consequences.

Why

  • Migrations fail on people, money and sequencing โ€” not just technology.
  • You practise all four in a safe sandbox.

When

  • Before your first real migration programme.
  • When onboarding BSAs, QA or PMs into a cloud team.

Pitfalls

  • Refactoring everything on day one.
  • Moving 5 PB over a wire with a 60-day deadline.
  • Skipping the CISO.
