An Immersive Experience

The DevOps Experience will take place in the context of a company called Globoticket. Globoticket is an organization that has always sold concert tickets. The company is still small with only a few developers, but that needs to change.

Recently, Globoticket was bought by a private equity firm with big aspirations, and they set firm goals for Globoticket: to come up with new innovations, improve quality, and speed up delivery. To overcome these challenges, the board hired Robert Green as their new CEO to lead these efforts.

Your team will onboard with Globoticket to overcome six important challenges to save the company. These challenges are all incorporated into the storyline of Globoticket to provide the ultimate experience.

“We’re overwhelmed by the turnout and the vibrant exchange of ideas and experiences. It’s been a day full of learning, collaboration, and innovation with some of the brightest minds in the industry”

“This experience allowed me to explore great features on GitHub like Codespace, GitHub Copilot and GitHub Advance Security. This was my first #DevOps hackathon, and the experience was nothing short of amazing.”

“The organization made it an unforgettable experience”
