The CodeShift hackathon has come to a thrilling conclusion. We are excited to announce and celebrate the brilliant minds behind the winning projects that showcased the capabilities of the Red Hat OpenShift application development platform and Intel’s AI/ML technologies.
About the hackathon
The CodeShift hackathon brought together developers worldwide to demonstrate their skills to create intelligent, cloud-native applications. Red Hat and Intel collaborated on this event to promote innovation and push the boundaries of cloud-native and AI/ML application development.
The hackathon explored cloud-native development with Red Hat's OpenShift application platform which includes Java runtimes (Quarkus, Spring Boot), event-driven architecture with Apache Kafka, integration with Apache Camel, Red Hat single-sign on, APIs, microservices, and more. Developers could also build, deploy, and scale intelligent applications using Red Hat OpenShift Data Science and Intel's AI/ML technologies.
By the numbers
The 48-day hackathon ran from September 26th through November 13th, 2023, with 491 participants from 57 countries. 5 finalists were chosen from the 32 applications submitted to win $70,000 in prize money based on 5 criteria (impact, ease of use, code quality, innovation, and Red Hat/Intel technology integration).
