Global DevOps Experience 2024

Global DevOps Experience 2024 in Split: A Small Team Among the World's Best

On June 15, 2024, Split was one of the venues of the 2024 Global DevOps Experience, hosted at the innovative PICS@FESB workspace with the support of Digital Dalmatia.

The free, worldwide one-day community event brought together DevOps, Platform Engineering, and Developer Experience (DevEx): teams around the globe worked on the same real-world challenges with GitHub, Azure, and AI. The Split team was small, about seven people, but persistent: they took on technically demanding challenges and kept solving them to the very end.

How the Split Team Did

All venues solved the same challenges and shared one global scoreboard of about 90 teams. At 15:38 on the day of the event the Split team held 160 points: level on points with the teams in third and fourth place, and listed fifth in the world.
