Let's go!! I'm so excited to see how our creative and resourceful community interprets this challenge. Thanks to the Redis team for sponsoring this contest!
Hi there! We encourage you to check out the community discussion thread for this very purpose!
Community Discussion Thread — Redis x DEV Hackathon
dev.to staff for The DEV Team ・ Aug 1 ・ 1 min read
The Redis team has also shared the following Discord channel with us. Check it out :) discord.com/invite/redis
Just checked out the discord server; unfortunately there isn't a single channel dedicated for find teammates, or team building, for that matter.
However, Gracie thanks for mentioning that the community thread can be used as a place for this purpose. I'll be sure to see how it works out from there!
Ah apologies for misleading you! But glad that the community thread will help :)
@graciegregory
Can we still make a submission by any chance? 🥲
You can make a submission today!
This will be the first Hackathon I'm participating, very excited
I want to join with you Hernan .
Referring to the MEAN/MERN Mavericks Category - No option to use Vue here instead? (MEVN Stack)
Any frontend framework works, MEAN/MERN are just the popular acronyms.
How about Next.js? Because I'm thinking of just making serverless functions instead of making a separate back-end. Is it still applicable? Or an entire backend is actually needed for this one?
I'm actually a fan of the JAMstack and prefer development through this principle.
This works!
Cool, thanks!
Thanks for the clarification!
Cool. Cool. Cool :)
I will participate too. I've already come up with an app idea.
But I have a question:
When do we need to publish the template post - when the app is ready or when we have a clear idea?
Also, I want to start publishing updates on my progress, so do I need to publish the template post before I begin using the tag #redishackathon?
Hi there! You'll want to publish using the template once your app is ready to show — this will act as your official submission! That said, we highly encourage you to post another thread about your idea if you like as well as any updates on your progress in separate posts! You'll want to use the
series:label in the markdown editor for each post in order to link them in the same series. Good luck!Thanks :)
Very excited to build something using Redis, I've always wanted to use Redis, but I often never find a use case to put it in. This will be a great chance to use & learn more about redis 🚀🔥
Good luck!
Same here🤗. Wanna learn and use the Redis moreee.. So how can I miss this chance😇
Hey, i'm really excited about this hackation, though its my first time with dev.to hackathons.
but i have some issues, first of all i'm in a country that all the cloud providers either blocks my country or they need a credit card where it's not available for me (I'm from sudan in africa), so what should i do? can i just use heruko as my server host and connect it with redis cloud if that is possible ?
i really want to participate this hackathon.
You can use a local Redis environment, such as the redis-stack docker image.
you mean i can run my server locally and do all benchmarks before and after implementing redis ? is that ok ?
Yes, that will work!
many thanks, I think I should start building!
Is this good for beginners? Meaning someone with basic knowledge of JavaScript, HTML and CSS??
I'd say go for the "Wacky Wildcards" submission. Try learning how to make a NodeJS app, and push data to a database.
Maybe add in expressjs for bonus points.
Go for it! Let's see what you can come up with :)
Yeah I'll give it a try. First Hackathon that I'll be participating in.
Yeah sounds doable. I'm already familiar with NodeJS and expressJS.
At the risk of sounding cheap: Can we migrate a ME(RVA)N - Stack app we built for an earlier hackathon? ;-)
& thanks a lot for this hackathon, I'm excited to see the projects this community comes up with.
Yes, one option for the ME(RVA)N Mavericks is to port an existing app to use Redis + JSON + Search.
I would participate but I use golang:
C#/ASP.NET Core
Java/Spring
JS/TS/Node.js
Python
It is a shame 😢 😢 😢
We listed those languages since they are supported by Redis OM. You are free to use other languages with native Redis support, but they do not currently have Redis OM libraries.
We are updating the instructions to clarify.
Yes, you are right, my apologizes, I didn not read the official documentation :
The following Redis OM libraries support Redis Stack:
Redis OM .NET
Redis OM Node
Redis OM Python
Redis OM Spring
@grafeno30 You can still use Go language and use a corresponding library. Redis OM is just a syntactic sugar on other core libraries to make things simple for developers. For example, Redis OM Node is a thin layer on top of Redis-Node library. and you can use Redis-Node directly also, you just need to send Redis commands like how you'd do in the CLI.
Thank you so much @rajaraodv ! I am looking for examples to use Redis-Node directly. Have a niceday
Searched for acronym OSS, couldn't find it.
Anyone? Thanks
edit
Oh, it's Open Source Software, right? I usually see that as FOSS (Fully)
The 'F' tends to be for free.
So FOSS is Free & Open Source Software
Do note that the the 'free' is like free in freedom, not (necessarily) free as in price.
Hey! I published an NPM package for templating & creating Redis keys. But it seems like The Redis Hackathon does not have a relevant category for it. Is it possible for me to join using my NPM package (which I created this month)?
See my introduction post on DEV for Create Redis Key:
Create Redis Key - Easy Way to Configure All Your Redis Keys In One Place

This sounds pretty awesome! If you're looking to build on #googlecloud and integrate your Redis solutions, we've got a bunch of samples and sample apps
From GitHub you can find them via https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform?q=sample&type=all&language=&sort=
You can take a peak at samples that are per language like for python at github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/pyt...
or leverage a template to start your sample app off
github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/clo...
or per product samples that have some examples of pubsub or Cloud SQL
github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/clo...
Good luck!
Can't wait to see what everyone builds - good luck everyone!!
These kind of project based hackathons are awesome
I'm looking forward to see everyone hacks!
Hope WEB 3.0 projects will be appreciated too <3
Yes, definitely!
Good luck to all the participants
This is so interesting! I might contribute in this one 🤩
so it is already started **
This is going to be fun.
This one looks fun 🤩
Have to ask: is this some kind of a weird joke with a closed short list of allowed languages?
We listed those languages since they are supported by Redis OM. You are free to use other languages with native Redis support, but they do not currently have Redis OM libraries.
We are updating the instructions to clarify.
any ETA on when the winners will be announced?
Ayy this is great 😃 Can't wait to participate
would be honored to do this with you..... Can we talk?
sure! simply observe that only one team member can submit the project and in case you win, we'd distribute the prize to best the individual that posts, with prize distribution to be labored out among yourselves.
it’s very exciting and interesting 🥳
When the results are going to be announced @graciegregory ?
Are we bound to use Redis OM ? can't we just use Redis Command API ?
Also, is it mandatory to create a redis cloud account ? can't we just run a Redis instance on our local dev environnement ?
You are free to use any library or just use the API. You are also encouraged to use Redis Cloud, but a local environment will suffice.
Is it ok to participate as a team ?
Yes! Just note that only one team member can submit the project and if you win, we'd distribute the prize to only the person who posts, with prize distribution to be worked out amongst yourselves.
Ok I'm a newbie and I'll like to collaborate with anyone who is willing to assist me. Thanks
I just published my submission post about my project: Placify.
Redis Hackathon - Placify
Emanuele Bartolesi ・ Aug 24 ・ 2 min read
Is using other third party libraries that relies on Redis (like bullMQ) fine for the hackaton?
What's the maximum team size??
Any amount is fine! Just note that only one team member can submit the project and if you win, we'd distribute the prize to only the person who posts, with prize distribution to be worked out amongst yourselves.
*sigh *, gotta wait a few more years to not be a kiddo anymore (•̀ᴗ•́)و ̑̑
Sounds interesting :)
I can't wait to see the amazing projects that will be launched from this hackathon.
I sure do hope I can keep the redisstack subscription after joining. I really had fun with it as a learner.
Let's go!
Finally, after a few weeks I finished my project. Can you look and tell me if it is submitted correctly? dev.to/meatboy/recommendation-syst...
so 29 august is the last day?
any news for the results @graciegregory ?
I will be joining! Thanks @thepracticaldev
All the best! @pixiebrix
Great, right on it...
Here's my submission post,
I wish there was more time,

Does the video have to be hosted on YouTube or can we host it somewhere else?
Please host on YouTube
here all the sexy pokemon you can use into it
What is the judging criteria?
Hello Tarwat. I am interested. Can I join hands with you for this hackathon?
Hey, I am open to collaborate, you can ping me.
