Programming FPGAs by Simon Monk and the Mojo v3 have been what I've been getting started with. It might be a little basic if you've been working in-depth with GPUs already, but the Mojo v3 is a great board to learn on - connects directly to your laptop via USB. It takes a lot of the magic out and makes it more like you're just programming an Arduino.

Agree with another commenter that an AWS EC2 F1 instance might be closer to prod for your purposes.
