Skills practiced in context
Four-mission proof sprint
Do the work. Keep the evidence.
Check a mission only after the proof exists. Progress stays in this browser and also appears in the Modern Skills catalog.
-
01
Choose the cheapest adequate shape
Compare static, serverless, container, and managed options against traffic and reliability needs.
Proof: An architecture decision record with estimated cost drivers. -
02
Make infrastructure repeatable
Describe resources, permissions, encryption, and deletion safety as code.
Proof: A reviewed change set with no public datastore. -
03
Observe the user outcome
Define logs, metrics, alarms, and a trace from failure symptom to likely cause.
Proof: A dashboard or runbook with alert thresholds. -
04
Install cost guardrails
Set a budget, identify variable-cost events, and create a frugal degradation plan.
Proof: A monthly cost envelope and shutdown checklist.
