Out of curiosity, how did you get started with distributed systems side projects? Do you use e.g. a bunch of Docker containers or cloud VMs?

There are some nice open-source projects out there for getting started with distributed systems (full disclosure, I'm a co-founder of one of them). They all abstract away (what some may call) the boring bits of getting started with distributed systems, like plumbing and such, and in general aim to improve the overall developer experience.

In no particular order:

docker-compose is fantastic for playing around with to spin up a bunch of servers with one “docker-compose up” command on my local laptop.

Would you find value in a lab that allowed you to spin up servers like this but at scale (500-1000)
