Is Server Survival really a tower defense game?
It uses a tower defense style of planning, but you build cloud services rather than towers. Requests travel through the network you place, and failures tell you where the route or capacity needs work.

Give every request a route
A service cannot help until traffic can reach it. Build a path from the Internet node through your front door and processing services, then watch for dropped requests as the load increases.
- Use the tutorial or early campaign levels to learn what each node does.
- Check the budget before adding expensive services.
- Add capacity before a traffic spike, not after requests start failing.
