01 / The point of the challenge
Beyond Search tests how well teams can build and reason over their own Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Base — first through rapid retrieval, then through a complete AWS solution architecture exercise.
Retrieve
Find the right signal, quickly and accurately.
Reason
Turn a customer need into a cloud system that holds up.
Communicate
Make the technical case with clarity under time pressure.
02 / Event rounds
Every team starts with the same brief: think precisely, build responsibly, and make every second count.

Teams work only with their own Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Base. Every answer is submitted through the event portal, with correctness first and submission time second.
Round 02
Same case study · 5 min per team
Qualified teams turn a shared customer case study into a clear, cost-aware AWS architecture using their own Bedrock assistant and Knowledge Base.
Round 2 format
