Serverless Goes Public
Elevator Pitch
Serverless is getting
bigger by the day. But so are 21st-century challenges in
areas like public policy, science, and healthcare. Are
serverless technologies mature enough to provide solutions
that scale to stop hunger or fight climate change?
In this hackathon, you’ll use serverless architectural patterns to build a product or service using at least one open, public dataset. Fight human trafficking, detect rising sea levels, or wow our judges with something we haven’t even thought of yet. We’ll have great prizes for the winners, and we can’t wait to see what you build!
The Rules
- Teams of six or fewer (work alone if you must)
- You must incorporate at least one public dataset into your work (see https://github.com/awesomedata/awesome-public-datasets for a great selection)
- You must build according to serverless principles (FaaS; event-based; service-ful)
- Serverless experts will be on hand to offer suggestions and provide assistance
- You have ten hours!
