About this app

DayOneCloud turns AWS certification study into an interactive story. Play as a cloud engineer at a fast-growing streaming startup, and learn real AWS skills by making the same architecture decisions working engineers face every day.

WHY DAYONECLOUD

Most AWS certification prep is flashcards and practice exams. DayOneCloud is different: you learn cloud engineering by doing the job. Every decision you make — which IAM policy to write, how to configure S3 security, when to scale infrastructure — has consequences that show up later in the story, just like in a real engineering career.

HOW IT WORKS

• Story Mode — Play through episodes with branching narratives based on real workplace scenarios at a streaming startup
• Decision System — Every choice impacts company metrics (budget, security, performance, uptime, team trust) — there are no "wrong" answers, only tradeoffs, just like real cloud engineering
• Hands-On Challenges — Build actual AWS architectures by connecting services (IAM, S3, Auto Scaling, Load Balancing, and more)
• Consequence Engine — Decisions in early episodes create delayed impacts later, teaching you to think about long-term architecture consequences
• Knowledge Bank — Unlock AWS concept references tied to certification exam domains as you play
• Character Relationships — Work with a CTO, security lead, finance lead, product manager, and senior engineer, each representing a different stakeholder perspective in cloud engineering decisions

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

DayOneCloud Season 1, "The First 90 Days," covers AWS Solutions Architect Associate exam topics including:
• Identity and Access Management (IAM) — users, groups, roles, policies
• S3 storage and bucket security
• Auto Scaling Groups and Elastic Load Balancing
• CloudWatch monitoring and alarms
• Secrets Manager, CloudTrail, and KMS encryption

WHO IT'S FOR

Whether you're studying for the AWS Certified Solutions Architect exam, starting a career in cloud engineering, or just want to understand AWS through interactive learning instead of static tutorials, DayOneCloud makes cloud skills stick by tying them to a story you'll actually remember.

Start your first day as a cloud engineer today.
