WE BREAK IT, YOU FIX IT! PagerDuty Breakathon is a bit like a hackathon, but with a twist! Instead of building stuff against APIs, your challenge will be to put on your SRE/ops hat and debug and fix “real" incidents. Participants will work in teams of 2-4 people and compete with each other to correctly diagnose and fix problems with web applications. CONTEST DETAILS At its core, the Breakathon is a timed contest with multiple levels. Each level consists of a live web application that’s broken in an interesting way. Your challenge will be to ssh into the application hosts, diagnose the problem, and fix it quickly! The levels start off easy and get harder as you go. The team that solves all the levels the fastest wins! (And yes, there are prizes: grand prizes for the winners and runners up, and door prizes for everyone.) Doors open at 4:00pm and our crew will be on hand to make sure you are set up and ready to dive in when the Breakathon kicks off at 4:45pm. Breakathon will give you a chance to test your Ops Chops, win great prizes, and network with lots of great folks in the devops community, all while enjoying happy hour food and drinks.  AGENDA 4:00 p.m. - Doors open 4:45 p.m. - Introduction and overview 5:00 p.m.  Break and fix things! 7:30 p.m. - Pencils down, laptops closed, and final results are tallied and announced 8:00 p.m. - Breakathon concludes WHAT TO BRING Please bring a laptop capable of SSH’ing and loading a webpage, along with a laptop power adapter. You will also need to use your Github account, if you don’t have one it’s easy and free to set up. WHO SHOULD ENTER If you are currently in an SRE or ops role, this event was made for you. If you want to become more operationally savvy, join and learn along. Everyone is welcome! HAVE QUESTIONS?
