Design a Product Analytics System/Playground

Product analytics over billions of events

Click a part to change it, put something in front of it, or kill it. Turn the traffic up. Every number moves as you go; nothing is graded. About 2 billion events a day with peaks around 4× the average.

Wait is the expected time a caller waits; Up is the share of time every part it waits on is running.

What your changes did

Nothing yet. This is the reference design: change something to see what it buys and costs.

AI

The numbers above come from a simple model. The AI reads your design, what you changed and these numbers, and explains where it holds and where it fails, citing how the engineers who built it did it. It can be wrong.
