Every project approaches its end.
I'm proud that this platform (and the idea in general) helped a lot of engineers to upgrade 202x core skills = Docker and Kubernetes, I've got a lot of positive feedback. Dozens of ideas were put into the backlog.
The main reason why I'm stopping the support of this product - it's getting a lot of time and efforts
Playpit-Labs is a learner-centric Training Platform which enables to facilitate a wide range of learning tasks (investigation, troubleshooting, development) via interactive module system.
Based on a hands-on experience, the Platform delivers scenario-related approach with instant feedback. So, the user can easily navigate his training path - learn, practice, instantly check the results and track the progress in the personal report in the course of a chosen technology or a tool (currently available courses - Docker and Kubernetes).
The Platform can be used either in a face-to-face training, an instructor-led training, a blended learning, or just a self-paced training to address multi-purpose demands.
Design of the course is aimed to provide a wide scope of scenarios to cover all the competency levels starting from the beginner and up to advance during a step-by-step learning process. Playpit-Labs is a kind of a virtual campus, where everyone can anytime and anywhere access the training materials and interact.
