Why Forge?

The only platform that tests your backend against your actual running server.

🌐

Real API Testing

Your actual running server gets tested with a real HTTP client. No mocks, no shortcuts — if it works in production, it passes here.

🛡️

Anti-Cheat Engine

Behavior analysis detects copy-paste, timing anomalies, and suspicious patterns. Your score reflects what you actually built.

XP & Levels

Earn XP for every scored submission. Climb the leaderboard, unlock badges, and track your growth from Apprentice to Principal.
