Sleuth out real SRE incidents
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to solve all the levels of the failure scenarios in our Breakathon.
PagerDuty's Breakathon is like a hackathon but with breaks' to investigate in order to win the game. Put on your best Sherlock Holmes cap & join us to sleuth out debugging issues & fix real incidents. Participants will work in teams of 2-4 & will compete against other teams to resolve issues the quickest Magnifying glass & pipe not included.
Contest Details
In simplest terms, Breakathon is a timed contest with multiple levels. Each level consists of a live web application that's broken in an interesting way. To solve the mystery, you'll need to SSH into the application hosts, use the clues to diagnose the problem, & fix it quickly. Levels start with the easier problems & get progressively harder.
The team that solves the mystery, completing all of the levels the fastest, wins! And yes - there are many prizes to be won - door prizes, level prizes, super sleuth prizes, & more.
Doors open at 4:00pm, & our support crew will be onsite to help you get set-up with a team & ready for when the game kicks off at 4:45pm.
Breakathon will give you a chance to solve tough operational infrastructure mysteries, test out your best hunches, win cool prizes, & eat & drink with members of the local DevOps community while playing.
