What cloud architecture would you love to simulate before deploying for real?
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
If you could instantly simulate any cloud environment, what would you build first?
I’d love to hear:
Multi-cloud architectures
Startup infrastructure
Enterprise migration projects
Kubernetes deployments
Disaster recovery scenarios
Your answers may influence what we prioritize next.

I’d prioritize startup infrastructure. It would help founders test scalable, cost-effective architectures early and avoid expensive mistakes before going live.
Cloud World Model
@lance_troh That's a good use case. Startup teams actually have to make infrastructure decisions long before they have production traffic. It's actually could be quite expensive to provision the resources first. It also gives a startup team the opportunity to compare different cloud providers before making a decision on which cloud provider they would like to go with for the startups particular workload needs.
Enterprise migration projects would be a great option. Is this project like the AWS cost calculator?
Cloud World Model
@damian_igbe_phd Great, question. Not exactly.
AWS cost calculator helps estimate the cost of infrastructure you've already designed.
Cloud World Model allows for the simulation of cloud architecture before deployment. It could help teams evaluate tradeoffs around cost, scalability, etc. Teams can even evaluate multi-cloud strategies without provisioning actual resources.
Your enterprise migration example is good. One scenario would be helping teams model different migration approaches and comparing outcomes before making a major cloud investment.
It's all around simulation and knowing options before deploying or actual provisioning.
