[13:04:11] CRITICAL Error rate spiked to 94% — ECS tasks crashing
[13:04:18] RDS connection pool exhausted — 0 connections available
[13:04:22] ALB returning 502s — unhealthy target count: 8/8

73% of engineers fail their first battle.
Not because the problem is hard — but because they react instead of diagnose. The first instinct is to scale compute or restart instances. That's the wrong move. The system keeps failing. The clock keeps running.
What most engineers do
Blindly scale compute. Restart pods. Increase max connections. Miss the actual cause.
What this tests
Can you read logs under pressure? Identify the root cause? Fix it in time?

Meet ASTRA
ASTRA isn't a tutor. It doesn't guide you step by step. It observes how you respond to the incident — your decisions, your timing, your reasoning.
