Brainstorm. Build. Submit
A little planning can go a long way toward a winning project. In the CockroachDB × AWS Hackathon we want to make sure you get across the finish line and have some resources to help you get there.
Here is a rough timeline for when to start different activities:
⛈️ Brainstorm (Today)
💡 Pick an idea (Tomorrow)
🧰 Start building (July 31)
✍️ Start your submission (August 5)
🚀 Finish up your project (August 12)
🎥 Record your demo video (August 14)
✅ Finish submission (August 16)
⭐️ Continue making updates if you have extra time (until the deadline: August 18, 2026)
If you haven’t already, head over to RESOURCES PAGE or check the below for useful links and guides to help you start and finish your project.
📺 Build Session Recording. Use the following to follow along:
- Code showing how to setup CockroachDB and use it for both memory and embeddings
- A site to help people find demo videos easily
- The deck itself
- FAQ from that session here.
💬 Slack community. Find the #hackathon channel to post questions or discuss the hackathon.
Happy Hacking!
