LambdaConf - The Grand Hackathon Finale
About this event
Golem Cloud and Restate Hackathons at LambdaConf 2024 with Guest Presence From DBOS - FREE of Charge Attendance and Amazing Prizes!
Overview
As the curtains close on LambdaConf 2024, a grand finale awaits participants with not just one, but two dynamic hackathons: Golem Cloud and Restate Hackathons. These events provide the perfect platform for developers to transition from theoretical learning to hands-on application, creating real-world solutions in a scenic, inspiring environment.
Golem Cloud Sponsored Hackathon: Pushing the Limits with WebAssembly
Date and Location: May 8th, Estes Park, Colorado
About Golem: Golem is the world’s first open-source serverless cloud-native platform for invincible serverless workers. It is designed to execute your programs durably and invincibly to survive complications that occur due to the nature of cloud computing such as system updates, network split, configuration changes, and more. Powered by WebAssembly (WASM), Golem offers invincible workflow and actor execution, and automatic scalability. With built-in security and vendor neutrality, Golem empowers developers to build highly scalable systems with ease and confidence. Currently compatible with Rust, Go, C/C++, Python, Zig, Swift, JS, Grain, C#.

Why Join?
Skill Enhancement: Work alongside the Golem Development Team, Creators, and LambdaConf’s stellar lineup of Speakers and Attendees
Innovation: Build your first application on the Golem Cloud, exploring its capabilities in handling durable computing challenges.
Prizes: Win exciting prizes like a top-of-the-line Alienware gaming monitor, tablets, and more.
Restate Sponsored Hackathon: Redefining Reliable Application Development
Date and Location: May 8th, Estes Park, Colorado
About Restate: Restate allows you to build modern reliable and scalable applications with ease. Almost any application is a distributed system, nowadays, since they are composed of different communicating components. With every component, the number of possible failure scenarios increases Network partitions, hardware failures, timeouts, race conditions, etc. Restate lets you write distributed applications that are resilient to these failures. It does this by providing a distributed, durable version of common building blocks (durable functions, RPCs, queues, promises, and timers, K/V state, and effects). For these building blocks, Restate handles failure recovery, idempotency, state, and consistency. This way, you can implement otherwise tricky patterns in a few lines of code without worrying about these concerns.

Why Join?
Community Connection: Engage with the creators of Restate and the vibrant LambdaConf community.
Practical Learning: Gain hands-on experience with Restate’s innovative features like durable functions and resilient distributed systems.
Prizes: Compete for amazing rewards including an iPad, headsets, and more.
