Real infra. Real incidents. AI mentor. Real SRE skills

Blast Radius Lab is an AI-mentored SRE training platform where engineers learn by doing. No slides, no passive courses. You work in real AWS infrastructure, write real Terraform, build real observability stacks, and debug real incidents. Your AI mentor assigns tasks, pushes back when you take shortcuts, and doesn't move on until you understand what you did and why. It's the production experience engineers need without the production risk. Built by an SRE leader for the next generation of SREs
Spent an hour on a Terraform task and the mentor actually made me redo a step because I skipped explaining my reasoning, which felt annoying in the moment but genuinely stuck with me afterward. The real AWS environment makes it feel way less like a sandbox toy.
Real AWS infra and an AI mentor that pushes back sounds like exactly what junior SREs are missing. One thing that would make this even more valuable: a peer review mode where two engineers get the same incident and have to compare their runbooks after, since half of real SRE work is aligning with humans under pressure.
Spent a few minutes in the lab and was surprised how quickly the AI mentor caught me skipping a step in the Terraform setup, made me actually explain my reasoning before letting me move on. Feels like having a senior SRE review your work in real time without the anxiety of paging someone at 2am.
