App Survival ResilientMind - Android is a web-based simulation game inspired by real Android production incidents. It compresses production constraints into a playable loop: design an architecture graph, ship under pressure, and maintain user sentiment, reliability, security, and compliance simultaneously.
Inspired by Server Survival by pshenok at https://pshenok.github.io/server-survival/ This project is an original implementation and is not affiliated with the original author. No code or assets were copied from the original project.
Live demo https://pzverkov.github.io/app-survival-android/
Production is served from GitHub Pages at the live demo URL above, deployed by
.github/workflows/deploy.yml on every push to main.
Per-PR previews are served from Cloudflare Workers Static Assets (configured in
wrangler.jsonc). The Cloudflare project's "Production branch" is intentionally
set to a non-existent branch so only PR builds publish; production deploys are
owned by GitHub Pages. Each PR gets a unique preview URL posted as a status
check on the PR by the Cloudflare GitHub App.

This project is designed to be usable for Android developer skill evaluation, with emphasis on Senior, Staff, and Principal-level production thinking. It targets real-world trade-offs across performance, reliability, background execution, security and privacy, accessibility, observability, incident response, and multi-region policy pressure.
The simulation core is written in TypeScript and intentionally kept separate from UI rendering so it can be ported to Kotlin and Android implementation later.
Prerequisites Node.js 22 LTS or newer is recommended
Install
npm install
Run
npm run dev
Build
npm run build
Tests
npm run test:unit (unit) and npm run test:e2e:ci (E2E + DOM validation)
- Pick a preset (Junior Mid/Senior/Staff/Principal), then press Start.
- Place components, link dependencies, upgrade, and fix tickets to keep the app alive.
- Expect incidents. Stabilize without tanking privacy, accessibility, security, coverage, and regional compliance.
- Try a Release Trains scenario for a scripted, repeatable shift — each one ends with a postmortem grade (S → D).
