Real sandboxes, real engines
Every scenario boots an actual system in a container — PostgreSQL today, Redis, MySQL and MongoDB next — not a multiple-choice quiz or a video.
Practice realistic database and infra failures in sandboxes with deterministic feedback and zero production risk. PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB and Redis — all available today.
Built for the engineers who get paged when production is on fire
The same incident-training format across your stack — rillence <tool>. PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB and Redis are all available today, each with its own incident catalog.
Slow queries, locks, replication, WAL, storage, vacuum, HA and migrations.
rillence postgres
Indexing, connections & threads, ProxySQL, replication and binlog.
rillence mysql
Compound indexes, aggregation pipelines and connection pools.
rillence mongodb
TTL hygiene, eviction storms, big keys and commands that block the event loop.
rillence redis
Rillence is a REPL-first incident simulator. Boot a real system in a sandbox, break it with a realistic failure, investigate with your own tools, and get deterministic feedback — with zero production risk.
Every scenario boots an actual system in a container — PostgreSQL today, Redis, MySQL and MongoDB next — not a multiple-choice quiz or a video.
Missing indexes, lock contention, replication lag, eviction storms, connection-pool exhaustion, disk pressure and more — injected into a live system.
Get progressive hints while you investigate, a scorecard for your fix and a postmortem explaining the root cause.
Practice alone, onboard new engineers, or run repeatable internal incident drills across your whole stack.
Run rillence postgres (or another tool) to open the interactive REPL.
Pick from a deep catalog of realistic scenarios across production tracks.
Connect with psql, an IDE, DataGrip, DBeaver, or any PostgreSQL client and dig into the sandbox.
Get deterministic Detect / Fix / Trap scoring and a postmortem.
The PostgreSQL catalog is the deepest: slow queries, locks, connection storms, replication lag, backup failures, unsafe failovers, migrations, security mistakes, and compound incidents. MySQL, MongoDB and Redis ship with their own full catalogs too.
New incident tracks, product updates and hard-won PostgreSQL tips — delivered to your inbox now and then.
