💡 AI Coach: The app can't reach the DB — that IP was probably replaced. Try aws rds describe-db-instances to find the live endpoint.

How It Works

THREE STEPS.
ONE PLATFORM.

No setup. No external tools. No context switching. Everything happens in BreakPoint - from incident alert to resolution, all in your browser.

01
🚨

LAND IN BREAKPOINT

Click start. Your AWS sandbox spins up instantly. Terminal, briefing, and AI Coach load in one unified interface. No SSH, no config files, no jumping between tools.

Real AWS environment auto-provisioned
Embedded browser terminal – never leave BreakPoint
Incident briefing & AI Coach side-by-side

🔍

DEBUG IN THE TERMINAL

Use real tools in the embedded terminal - kubectl, terraform, journalctl, aws cli. AI Coach hints appear in the sidebar. Briefing stays visible. Everything you need, one interface.

Every tutorial teaches you commands. BreakPoint taught me to think under pressure. That's what separates a junior from a senior.

Why BreakPoint

TUTORIALS TEACH
COMMANDS.
WE TEACH
SURVIVAL.

KodeKloud, Udemy, and YouTube can teach you to memorize kubectl flags. None of them put you on a live incident with a timer.

🔥
Everything In-Browser, Zero Setup
Click "Start Lab" and you're in a live terminal debugging real AWS. No SSH keys, no CLI installs, no context switching. One cohesive platform.
☁️
Real Cloud, Not Simulated
Actual EC2, RDS, EKS, S3. Auto-provisioned, auto-torn-down. IAM-isolated per session. Real AWS responses.
🤖
AI Coach Embedded In Your Workflow
Get hints right in the sidebar while you debug. No switching tabs, no external chatbots. The AI knows your lab context and guides without spoiling.
📄
Portfolio Proof, Not Certificates
Postmortems, runbooks, fixed code. Your GitHub portfolio fills up with real artifacts interviewers actually look at.

TERRAFORM BROKE EVERYTHING (IT WAS ME)

A junior ran terraform apply without a plan review. Three resources destroyed. Recover the infrastructure and implement guardrails before it repeats.

THE 3AM INCIDENT — OBSERVABILITY OR BUST

PagerDuty fires at 3AM. Latency spike, climbing error rate, zero obvious cause. Find root cause using observability tools only before the exec bridge at 4AM.
