A weekend to ship real cloud-native software — Kubernetes, observability, CI/CD, cost budgets. No slideware.
The brief
Ship a working micro-services application on real cloud infrastructure — with observability, CI/CD and a cost budget you can defend. Cloud credits are provided by the sponsoring partners.
- Judged on architecture clarity, deployment maturity and cost hygiene.
- Ops-day check-in mid-sprint: chaos test injected at hour 24.
- Winning stacks get a full engineering review by AWS & Red Hat architects.
