Come and watch a competition of two people using their technical ingenuity and creativity to solve a challenge put forth by the Scheduler (host). Time is limited and stakes are high, as this isn’t just a “live demo” for the masses. Over the course of twenty minutes, competitors will attempt to resolve a broken cluster, or deploy a service to production. At the end of the time, entries will be judged on four categories. Each category will be rated on Stability, Resiliency, Flexibility, and Observability.

Participants won’t know what challenge they’ll be given ahead of time but will be informed whether certain cloud resources or APIs will need to be enabled and available. Pre-creating any helpful scripts, code, or cloud resources is strictly prohibited. During the competition, the Scheduler will bounce between the participants’ screens, engage with the audience, and ask questions of the participants live.

Join us, root for our competitors, and feel free to engage live!
