WHY THIS ONE

  • WebLBmajor · no health checkApp

    It reads your design

    Claude checks the drawing against your requirements, scores it on five axes and pins every finding to the box it is about.

    Fewer boxes win

    Anything the requirements did not ask for counts against you. Five boxes that do the job beat fifteen.

  • Pull the plug

    Press Play, switch off a server, a zone or a region, and watch which requests fail.

  • Workertimeout 2sVendorlatency 3–7 min

    Numbers, not vibes

    Put timeouts, retries and rate limits on the connections. The canvas flags a timeout shorter than the call it waits for — instantly, before any review.

  • CacheQueueSQL database

    Mechanisms, not vendors

    A cache, not Redis. You are judged on how the system works, not on which brands you know.
