Request Rush is a cyberpunk "tower defense"(maybe?) simulator inspired by system design interviews (yes, it is about software engineering, system design). In this game, you will design systems with Gateways, Processors, Queues, and more to handle waves of digital Requests in a neon-lit world.


Instructions:
Drag and drop to buy different components, connect them together to route requests to processors. Buy more processors and other components to prepare for large amount of incoming requests. 

  • To move camera around: 
    WASD / ⬆️ ⬇️ ⬅️ ➡️ / mouse wheel button / ctrl + mouse movement
  • To zoom in/out:
    J / D / scroll mouse wheel

Dive in, optimize your system, and conquer the surge!

Beat it.  It's a decent start.  I would like to see a reason to do something other than gate->queue->1.5-2x processor-> 0.25-0.6x database with a cache thrown in every now and then maybe.

Thank you so much! I will have to brainstorm about that one.
