The AWS BugBust re:Invent Challenge runs from November 29, 10:00 AM (PST), to December 2, 2:00 PM (PST). Within this time frame, registered participants across the globe participating virtually, or onsite at the BugBust Hub in the re:Invent Expo, can compete to fix as many bugs as possible or improve the performance of a profiling group. Participants receive points based on the complexity of each bug that they fix. The more bugs they fix, the more points they gain and the higher they will climb up the leaderboard. The live leaderboard tracks each participant’s progress and showcases the number of bugs fixed and points received.
