Subroute
Learn system design by playing with it, not just reading
An interactive playground for technical concepts. Explore system design, caching, load balancing, garbage collection, and more through visual simulations you can actually touch — not just read about. Free, no signup.
Hey everyone 👋
I'm a developer, and every time I tried to learn things like rate limiting, caching, or load balancing, it was the same loop: read an article, stare at a diagram, and still not really get how it behaves in practice.
So I built Subroute: a playground where you change the inputs and watch what actually happens. See which cache eviction policy keeps the best hit rate, why one load balancing algorithm overloads a server, and another doesn't, how garbage collection reclaims memory, what consistent hashing does when you add or remove a node.
Right now it covers 9 topics and around 60 concepts: rate limiting, caching, load balancing, garbage collection, memory allocation, consistent hashing, page replacement, and circuit breakers. Free, no signup.
I'd genuinely love feedback, especially on which concept I should build out next. Thanks for taking a look 🙏
