Cloud Arch Simulator teaches cache placement through interactive puzzles

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

Cloud Arch Simulator uses directed graphs to model traffic flow, showing how cache placement affects load. Users deploy topologies and watch failures like a Redis cache after an overloaded database doing nothing. The tool aims to teach that a cache only protects traffic reaching it, not a global fix.

Meridian48 take
A clever interactive tool that makes a fundamental distributed-systems lesson stick better than any textbook diagram.
