AWS launches bug bounty competition

BENGALURU: AWS has rolled out what it calls the world’s first global competition for Java and Python developers to collectively fix one million bugs. “Eliminate software errors and save millions of dollars using Amazon CodeGuru, and win prizes and glory in the first annual AWS BugBust Challenge,” it said.

AWS BugBust utilises ML-powered developer tools – Amazon CodeGuru Reviewer and Amazon CodeGuru Profiler – to automatically scan a developer’s code to weed out gnarly bugs and gamifies fixing and eliminating them.

You can set up private AWS BugBust virtual events quickly and easily in the AWS Console, with built-in leaderboards, challenges, and rewards.
