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.

- 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.
