We break it, you fix it

The PagerDuty Breakathon is an engaging event designed to simulate infrastructure failures in a controlled environment, offering participants the excitement of resolving complex issues without the associated stress of real-world incidents. Scheduled for November 16, 2017, at PagerDuty Headquarters in San Francisco, the event invites teams of three to five people to tackle a series of escalating failure scenarios, with the fastest team winning new iPads and runners-up receiving $100 Amazon gift cards. The event aims to foster camaraderie and learning through hands-on problem-solving, with participants evaluated by both automated processes and judges. The Breakathon promises to be a fun and educational experience complete with door prizes, pizza, and drinks, but is limited to 50 participants, encouraging interested individuals to register quickly.
