I created Canvas Cloud AI in 2025 to facilitate hands-on learning in the cloud. Although I did not launch it on Product Hunt, thousands of users have utilized it to generate cloud architectures for learning. Over the past year, while speaking with developers, engineers, and architects about Canvas Cloud AI, I consistently heard two main concerns: one, that cloud services can be expensive, and two, that connecting to cloud providers can create bottlenecks for hands-on learning.

After hearing this feedback repeatedly, I began to explore the possibility of simulating the cloud without relying on connections to cloud providers. This idea eventually led to the creation of Cloud World Model. I have now decided to launch Cloud World Model on Product Hunt, something I did not do with our earlier product, Canvas Cloud AI.

We re building Cloud World Model, a platform that lets people simulate cloud infrastructure and architecture decisions before spending money on real cloud resources.

Think:

• AWS, GCP, Azure, OCI, and DigitalOcean environments

• Architecture experiments

• Cost optimization scenarios

• Scaling and resiliency testing
