Use your developer skills to create something impactful. Find a cause that means something to you, a topic that drives you and build a cloud native app that leverages Datastax Astra (Cassandra as a Service) so you can share with the world.

Competition Details :

We’ve been working all year on our mission to make Apache Cassandra™ easier to use for developers and recently we introduced Stargate, a framework for REST, GraphQL, JSON/Document and CQL APIs, which is now a part of DataStax Astra. To celebrate, we’ve come up with a fun contest that not only lets you show off your skills, but gives you a chance to win some real money! The DataStax Holiday Hackathon is open to developers anywhere in the world to compete in an exciting contest that is all about innovative modern data applications. Whether you are a full-stack, front-end or back-end developer, we welcome you with open arms to come and show us what you can do.

 

Your mission should you choose to accept it: Show off your skills by building an amazing app with Datastax Astra (hosted Apache Cassandra™) as the foundation.
