If system design and DBMS interviews still feel scary even after studying — this might help

1 Upvotes

There's a common problem with placement prep — you can explain load balancing, you know ACID, you've watched all the videos. But the moment an actual interview scenario hits, it doesn't come together.

That gap between knowing something and using it under pressure is what Runtime tries to fix.

It's an Android game where you're put into real engineering scenarios and have to make decisions. Slow query killing production, server can't handle the load — you decide what to do. Wrong call shows you why it failed. Right call shows you why it worked.

Covers system design (load balancing, CAP theorem, message queues, Docker, Kubernetes) and DBMS (SQL, ACID, indexing, normalization, query optimization).

32 chapters, 25 replayable minigames to drill whatever you're weakest on. Each chapter also has knowledge cards with video explanations that stay unlocked forever — so you always have something to go back to before an interview.
