"Rainy with a chance of rogue tech, infrastructure as clouds (IaC) to make it rain"

A rogue-like web game where you build DigitalOcean infrastructure with Terraform and make it rain!

Rain Maker is a fun, educational game that teaches cloud infrastructure concepts with a weather/storm theme. Players weather the storm as enterprise customers (AMD, Amazon, Meta, Netflix, etc.) request cloud configurations. Build cloud infrastructure, generate Terraform code, and make it rain with that sweet cloud cash!

• 🏢 Enterprise Customers - 12 real tech companies with unique personalities
• ☁️ 20 Cloud Components - Droplets, Databases, Load Balancers, Kubernetes, and more
• 📋 12 Infrastructure Scenarios - Web apps, microservices, ML platforms, gaming backends
• 📄 Real Terraform Code - See your infrastructure as Terraform HCL in real-time
• ⏱️ Storm Timers - Dynamic timers based on customer patience and order complexity
• 💰 Make It Rain - Earn cash based on accuracy, speed, and customer tips
• ⚡ Power-Ups - Rogue-like upgrade shop between rounds

• Framework: Next.js 15 (App Router)
• Styling: Tailwind CSS
• Language: TypeScript
