The CodeShift hackathon brings together developers from all over the world to demonstrate their skills and creativity using Red Hat's cloud-native application development platform.

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.

 

Key Dates

***Winners will be announced on Tuesday, December 12th***

We will hold weekly office hours which will include demos and Q&A with experts every Wednesday at 10 AM EST starting on October 4th and finishing on November 8th.

Requirements

What to Build

Create (or update) an open-source application that is deployed on the OpenShift application platform (or Kubernetes community equivalent). The cloud-native applications can include a variety of use cases like AI/ML, edge, event-driven, serverless, and more. Optionally, make use of additional featured projects and tools from Red Hat and Intel (see Resources) to boost your technical implementation score.

What to Submit

  • Open-source project built with (or updated) Red Hat and Intel tools that is deployed on the OpenShift application platform (or Kubernetes community equivalent)

  • URL to a publicly visible code repository (Source code submission must be released under an OSI-approved license)

  • architectural diagram

  • demo guide

  • Text description that provides a project overview and guide on how to deploy and run your project

  • Description of the project architecture

  • Demonstration video of the project (approximately <5 mins)

  • If you are looking for examples of what to include in your submission, check out examples among the Red Hat Patterns.

See Official Rules for details.
