Five Nines is a cloud infrastructure tycoon. Offers come in. You accept work, place servers in regions, and live with hourly physics plus money.

You are not painting a landing page. You are on an ops floor: queue, fleet, contracts, a clock that does not care that you paused to think.

The loop (plain language)

Take work. Buy capacity. Each tick is an hour. Demand prefers local regions, then overflows; leftover is unroutable. Boxes have more than one bottleneck. Cash pays to keep the lights on. Miss the contract badly enough and credits claw what you thought you earned. Run out of rope and you are jailed — the floor keeps running; you stop growing.

Exact rates, SKUs, ppm, and jail thresholds live in @packages/fivenines-engine and its AGENTS.md. This page must not repeat them.

What you can play today

Opening Shift — first slice, client-side Game on /hub (ops console) and /lab (ugly harness). Nest is not the tick authority yet.

Intended later (plans, not this wiki): backend-authoritative campaigns and SSE. Until that ships, do not describe the control plane as the clock.

Tone

NOC, not pastel SaaS. Ops neon. The story is “will this hour ruin me,” not “we empower teams.”
