Description
Figuring out what to actually learn to break into DevOps, SRE, or AI-agent engineering usually means piecing together advice from scattered blog posts and outdated bootcamp marketing. SkillPilot lays out concrete, phase-by-phase roadmaps for these roles instead — what to learn, in what order, with portfolio projects to prove you've learned it, and no account needed to see any of it.
Beyond the roadmaps, it includes certification prep guides that break down actual exam domains with step-by-step study plans, interactive courses on foundational skills (Linux, Bash, Git), and — a genuinely useful touch — salary ranges for each role with cited sources and retrieval dates, so you're not trusting a number someone made up. All the roadmaps themselves are published as open source on GitHub, and the whole thing is free: public roadmaps, certification guides, and foundational courses cost nothing, while select interactive courses are available as a one-time purchase you keep forever, with no subscription.
💬 Our review
The short version: SkillPilot is going head-to-head with roadmap.sh, the dominant free career-roadmap site, and its differentiators — cited, dated salary data and a buy-once interactive course option — are real, if modest, reasons to also check it out.
Against roadmap.sh (larger, more established, huge community-contributed roadmap library across far more roles), SkillPilot's roadmaps cover fewer paths but add sourced salary ranges directly alongside the learning path, which roadmap.sh generally doesn't do. The one-time-purchase model for select interactive courses (versus a subscription) is friendlier if you just want to buy one course and be done. Worth checking for its specific role coverage (DevOps, SRE, AI Agents, Security) and salary data; roadmap.sh remains the broader reference if the role you're targeting isn't one of SkillPilot's covered paths yet.
