Welcome to Open Source Challenges!
Dynatrace Community is a perfect place for winning with integrity and innovation. Over the years we've observed how a need to learn and seek for answer meets with an urge to share and spread the knowledge. Keeping these principles in mind, we're introducing Open Source Challenges that are built for curious practitioners and developers. If you're lookin for a practical, hands-on path into open source tools and workflows, this is a space perfect for you!
The best way to learn is by working through some real problems that are part of every Open Source Challenge. Each of them a real scenario you can solve, learn from, and share with the community. It's simple - you don't need any local setup required, the only necessary tools are free GitHub account and some curiosity! π‘
