Resilient Hosting: One App, Many Providers
Real portfolio pieces built during the course, not a certificate for its own sake. Each one is work you can show.
- Resilience baseline: failure map and targetsEverything the inherited school portal depends on, what would take it down, and the recovery targets agreed with the school, with the cost of each option.
- Failover and failback runbookThe steps that switched the hospital system to its second-provider copy, and the steps that bring it back without losing a prescription.
- Data residency architecture decisionAn architecture decision record for the state agency's permit portal: resilience across two providers, with every copy of citizens' data kept in Nigeria.
- Game day and cost review reportThe failover drill's honest result against its target, the gaps it found and their fixes, the redundancy worth its cost, and the next drill.

Description
Every CertClue course follows the same seven-part shape: fundamentals, the role translated out of job-posting language, a real working day, the job's recurring rhythms, a multi-day simulation, the portfolio you build along the way, and a handoff into your next move. Here is what that looks like for platform / reliability engineer.
Who this course is for
Anyone aiming to become a platform / reliability engineer, including career changers with no background in it yet. This is the entry rung of a realistic ladder:
Deploys and runs an app on one provider and restores it when something breaks.
Designs how an app survives a provider, a region or a bad deploy failing, and proves it with drills.
Sets reliability targets with the business and decides where redundancy is worth its cost.
