Pricing
Free where it is finished. Paid where it needs a backend.
The guides, the working tools, and the introductory labs are free and stay free. Pro covers the Academy, advanced labs, and the features that require accounts — which are not built yet, so Pro is not purchasable yet.

Where you need this applied to your own infrastructure rather than read about: OpenStack, Kubernetes, Terraform, observability, architecture review, and incident analysis.
See engagement scopeQuestions
- What can I sign up for today?
- Nothing, and that is deliberate. You can save your place and track what you have finished from My Stack without any account at all — it is kept in your browser. Pro is a pilot you can preview and register interest in; billing is not connected and no price has been approved, so there is no purchase button, because one that cannot take payment would be worse than saying so.
- What does free actually include?
- Every published guide, all twenty Academy lessons, every working workbench tool, the introductory labs, the investigation worksheet, the full prompt library, and the newsletter. That is not a trial — it stays free, and nothing currently free will move behind the paywall.
- Will content move behind the paywall later?
- No. Anything published as free stays free. Pro adds the Academy, advanced labs, and the account features that need a backend — it does not take away what is already here.
- Do you sell one-off downloads?
- No. Small assets are either free acquisition resources or part of Pro. A catalogue of nine-dollar downloads is a distraction from building something worth subscribing to.
