Get ready to wear the cap of SRE & Product Operation specialist. 

Welcome to the chaos. Can you keep production alive?

Participation Types

Team Registration : Register as a team between 3 to 5 members. Participation require knowledge of SRE and Operational concept and preferably hands-on knowledge of tools like Grafana Observability/Dynatrace/Dash0 or similar. Participants need to have skill to analyze the application issue form the signals like Traces, Metrics and logs.

Primary audience: Experienced SREs and operational engineers responsible for production reliability, with hands-on exposure to any observability platform.

Student participation: Final-year university students with foundational observability knowledge may join as a “junior” teammate alongside an experienced SRE. (One student per team.)

Individual : Register individual to witness how the industry operations team work. Hear the teams on their approaches, strategies and learn from their experience and surely cheers for them.

Event Details

In this high-stakes observability showdown, teams will enter the world of a live production environment riddled with unknowns, hidden bugs, and surprise failures. Your mission—should you choose to accept it—is to detect, analyze, and resolve issues in real-time using OpenTelemetry and your best debugging instincts.

But here’s the twist:

Throughout the event, the CNCG Noida moderator will inject controlled kios, panics, and outages into the application. These incidents will trigger live alerts, firing off to all teams simultaneously. Multiple issues may strike in parallel—only the sharpest minds and fastest fingers will stay ahead of the chaos.

🔥 What You’ll Face:

A live application under simulated production stress

Randomly injected issues: from performance bottlenecks to full-blown panics

Real-time alerting across channels

Time pressure to triage, trace, and resolve every incident

Competition with other teams to be the fastest, most thorough problem-solvers

🧠 What You’ll Do:

Respond to alerts as they come in

Use observability tools like OpenTelemetry to trace root causes

Log your findings, analysis, and resolution steps

Collaborate under pressure, think fast, and act faster

Present your incident report and resolution strategy to a panel of judges, who’ll test your understanding, accuracy, and approach

🏆 How to Win:

Quickest and most accurate root cause identification

Clear and insightful analysis of issues

Quality of incident handling and final presentation

Bonus for handling multiple concurrent issues with elegance
