✨ ASTRAKATHON ✨

License Apache2 Discord

With workshops week 4 we launched an Hackathon for you to build real life applications with Apache Cassandra™. Idea is also to create altogether a database of sample codes.

1. What is the ASTRAKATHON

This is a contest that will last for 4 weeks where we expect you to code.

  • Starting July 22nd, 2020
  • NEW Deadline August 20th 12:00 PDT

Pick the language your are confident with.

Once done and winners announced and all source code will be open source for everyone to get it on a dedicated repository

No idea? Check this data models collection, pick one and make it fits Cassandra.

2. What do you win ?

Not only you will be part of the community but all participants will get a free copy of Jeff's book Cassandra The Definitive guide> real money to win and here is the 3 first places.

3. How are you evaluated ?

We will assess :

  • The data model : choices and hypothesis
  • The source code : quality and best practices
  • The ease of use (documentation, docker?) - should be launchable in 5 mins per docs

4. Who will review my work ?

To review your submissions the commitee will be composed from:

  • The Developer Advocates team at DataStax
  • Patrick Mc Fadin, VP at DataStax
  • Johnathan Ellis, CTO of DataStax, previous PMC of Cassandra project
  • Jeffrey Carpenter, author of Cassandra the Definitive guide.

5. How to participate ?

First you need to be registered to the Cassandra Cloud Native Workshop Series

We have created an alias for your submissions : [email protected]. You would provide code and documentations as an archive.
