How Docker Works Under the Hood
Watch what really happens when you run docker run -p 8080:80 nginx, one layer at a time. Step down the whole stack: the CLI, the daemon, the registry pull, containerd, the OCI runtime bundle, runc, the running container, and the shared Linux kernel. Every stage shows the real low-level command you can run yourself, so it doubles as a tour of the primitives that make a container: namespaces, cgroups, and runc. A container is not a small VM, and this shows you why.

Webhook Delivery Simulator
Send a webhook through a production-style delivery flow. Change endpoint responses, watch retries and backoff, inspect real HMAC-SHA256 signatures, and redeliver the same message to see receiver-side deduplication.
