Hackathons are a time honored tradition in the software industry. They stem from a time when software developers had to stay up all night hacking away at their code while the time sharing machine had free cycles. At 4 AM, it’s easier to book time on the room-sized PDP-10.
Rather than cram all of that excitement and creativity into a single evening or weekend, however, we at Red Hat kicked off our CodeShift Hackathon on September 26, 2023. The competition is now open and will remain on-going until November 13, 2023, when submissions must be provided to our panel of judges.
Those judges will be making their decision on December 12, 2023.
Just what exactly are we looking for in this hackathon?
Event Details
The hackathon will explore cloud-native development with Red Hat's OpenShift application platform including Java runtimes (Quarkus, Spring Boot), event-driven architecture with Apache Kafka, integration with Apache Camel, SSO, APIs, microservices, and more. Developers will also be able to build, deploy, and scale intelligent applications using Red Hat OpenShift Data Science and Intel's AI/ML technologies.
With such an array of technologies to choose from, there’s a vast ocean of possibilities for building out your dreams. Gather your team and register now to get access and get started!
