264 people spent Day 0 of KubeCon NA building with us at the Cloud Native Hackathon in Salt Lake City, and it was easily the most engaging Day 0 event of the week.

The room had CTOs, directors, platform and AI engineers, FDEs and a lot of first-time builders, all hacking side by side.

Huge thanks to @dash0hq, @SonarSource, @RadarK8s and @elastic search for backing the builders, to Kelsey Hightower and all 12 judges for spending the day with the teams, and to everyone who showed up and shipped something.

Here’s the recap, and the next one is already in the works.

We did our best (bloopers included), and it turned into the most engaging Day 0 event at KubeCon 👀

[Kunal Kushwaha @kunalstwt]

This was the crowd at the Cloud Native Hackathon today.

The venue was houseful, with 250 people in Salt Lake City who came to build, heads down and locked in from the first hour to the last.

Some of the projects that came out of that room were honestly incredible, the kind of stuff that made picking winners really hard for the judges.

It felt different from any hackathon I've run before, and it's easily one of the best Day 0 events.

The judging line-up for the @CloudNativeHack is locked in, and I want to say a proper thank you to everyone on it.

On Monday, November 9 in Salt Lake City, these folks are giving up their day to give feedback on what people are building and pick the winners.

Thank you all for saying yes. Real feedback from people like you is the best part of a hackathon for the folks building, and it means a lot that you’re making time for it.

If you’re around Salt Lake City, come build with us. It’s free, everyone who comes gets a Keychron keyboard, and there’s $20,000 in prizes, including an NVIDIA DGX Spark.
