Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I’m Piotr, and I'm excited to launch ArchieGuru.
Let's be honest: watching a 40-minute YouTube video on "How to Design Twitter" gives you the illusion of competence. But the moment you face a blank whiteboard in a FAANG interview or a real production scaling issue at work, knowing that Kafka exists isn't enough. You have to actually make the trade-offs.
You only get better at system design by doing it, getting ripped apart by someone smarter than you, and fixing the gaps. The problem? Getting a Staff Engineer to spend an hour reviewing your practice architectures is either impossible or extremely pricey.
So, I built ArchieGuru to give you that exact feedback loop, on demand.
What you can do with it?
🏗️ Visual Architecture Canvas: Map out your system directly in the browser. Drop in your load balancers, CDN, Postgres, Redis, message brokers, and connect the pipes.
🧠 Context-Aware Critique: Archie isn’t a generic chatbot. It actually parses your entire node graph and tech stack. If you put a heavy read-load directly on your primary database without a caching layer or read-replicas, Archie will catch it.
⚡ Ruthless Feedback: Submit your design and get a scored breakdown across Scalability, Performance, Security, and other quality attributes that matter for given challenge.
🎯 40+ Engineering Katas: Practice real-world challenges ranging from CDN Optimization Strategy (Beginner) to Global Financial Trading Platforms (Expert). You can even use it to draft and pressure-test your actual work tickets.
📈 Measurable Progression: Track your average scores over time. Turn "I think I'm getting better" into a quantifiable metric.
Whether you're a mid-level dev prepping for an L5 interview or a solo founder trying to figure out why your AWS bill is so high, ArchieGuru gives you the reps you need.
🎁 Product Hunt Exclusive:
We are giving the PH community 60% off "Arcs" (the credits Archie uses for reviews) using the code PRODUCTHUNT. You automatically get 100 free Arcs when you sign up, so you can do your first kata completely free - no credit card required.
I’ll be hanging out in the comments all day. Try throwing your hardest architecture problem at Archie and let me know how it does! What kind of katas should we add next?
