This is going to be such a fun one! Good luck to all participants. Our team will be eagerly awaiting your wonderful submissions ⭐️
Im 15 years old and i would like to do this. I was reading and it said i needed to be 18. I was getting really excited until i read this and i was wondering if i could submit it under one of my parents. If not could i still submit another way?
Sameeeeee! But sadly, I don't think that's possible.
@graciegregory but which repo used to publish project or how please share details.
Hi @chetan_atrawalkar !
You can create your own repository on Github (github.com) and publish the code there. When you are ready to submit your project, create a post with the #atlashackathon using the provided template (dev.to/new/atlashackathon). In this post, you will provide the URL to your repository so we can look at your amazing creation.
What about the code license if i am using GitHub
Ensure that your application's code is licensed with the Apache-2 permissive license
lol, this GIF!
Kudos to whoever made the gif 😅.
Very criative!! :-D
Why do I love this GIF so much 🦜 😂
Super pumped to see what all you wonderful DEV members create! Let’s go!
This is gona be wholesome month, full of enjoyment! Thank you Dev Team & MongoDB Team
you participating rajvir?
Yeah I will, If only I get some time and a good idea to work on
Wow, I love both DEV and MongoDB and this hackathon is going to be a great one :)
Count me int!
Looking forward to seeing all the COOL submissions!
This will be lit
Excited to see your submission!
I like this for 2 reasons:
Are we required to use all of the features that are listed with the hyperlinks? Or as long as one of them is implemented or that we just use MongoDB Atlas for our project we are able to submit an entry?
You can pick any category. Each category focuses on one feature. However, feel free to be creative and use as many features as you'd like!
Last question, are we limited to only using JavaScript to create our app?
Any language works! The article mentions JavaScript for Realm functions, as this is the supported languages for the platform. However, your application can use anything you'd like.
Awesome. Thank you.
i have a question though. I'm 19 yrs old so can I collab with someone under 18 to participate in this hackathon?
Will this be counted as a valid entry?
@mongodb_staff
In this case, as long as you are the one to publish the post and you handle any prize splitting amongst yourselves, this is fine!
Hey, I have a friend who is 19 years old and I am 14. Can we team up and work?
In this case, as long as you are the one to publish the post and you handle any prize splitting amongst yourselves, this is fine!
Awesome, thanks!
Challenge accepted!...
console.log("Let's code this out");Very cool! Thanks DEV and MongoDB teams!
So I missed out on GitHub Actions hackathon but I'm definitely putting in for this one.
Been using MongoDB for a while and it'd be nice to build something creative with it once again 😊
Little weird that these submissions are required to use an open source license when MongoDB itself doesn't meet the same requirement.
Yes. I like MongoDB but won't be using it again until they come to their senses and sort out the licensing.
What are open-source alternative to MongoDB that you recommend? I don't get to work with databases frequently, but will take note of them.
I'm also trying to avoid non-FOSS: shlomifish.org/philosophy/computer... .
There are a lot that go into building an ecommerce store. Off the top of my head are admin interface for managing products, authentication, credit card charging, role and permission management etc, to name just a few. Can anyone point me to an example of a bare minimum ecommerce store?
Here's my entry:
IMDb-MongoDb
Please don't judge me, I'm a total noob in Node.js and I don't even know the theory of how it all works :D
I only did RnD and somehow completed a working prototype as I wanted to learn MongoDB, that's all!
That's awesome! Great job!
Yeah yeah, nice
I'll definitely jump into this 😊😊
Winners to be announced tomorrow, let's go!
Hi @mongodb_staff and @thepracticaldev , when will the hackathon be over i.e. the last time to complete the hackathon. Is it 13 Jan 2022 11:59 pm PT or 13 Jan 2022 11:59 pm UTC?
In the article, both times can be seen written.
The PT time is mentioned in "Additional rules"
The UTC time is mentioned in "Important dates".
Please clarify as I don't want to miss out on the opportunity and miss submitting my project.
Hi there! So sorry about this confusion. There was an error above (the deadline was supposed to initially be 11:59 PM UTC on January 13) but we will absolutely consider all submissions that were shared through 11:59 PM PT on January 13. So sorry for any stress this caused!
Check out my submission.
dev.to/codewithahsan/flashback-mon...
I created a multi-player memory game named "Flashback" based on MongoDB, Angular, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS and Firebase. Links to the code and demo are in the article.
Any feedback would be highly valuable :)
Hey @mongodb_staff
Can we start working on project from 14th Dec (i.e Commits in the repo will be dated after 14th Dec)
And any template for submission of Blog Post.
Any email ID that i can reach out for further quries regarding Hackathon?
"The winners we select in this category will be the ones that got super creative and wacky". So does that mean an app which is super creative but not wacky doesn't have much chance? I'm thinking of Forest (help you focus), Canva, Notion etc.
Hi, I see that we're allowed to participate in teams and the person who submits is responsible for distributing prizes should we win. I don't see anything about the number of team members allowed. Is there a max size for the teams?
There are no limits to the size of the team. We will only communicate with the person who submitted the entry though.
i Wish all the success to all of you, i also created a blog entry dev.to/aernesto24/3-ways-to-test-m... about info about testing mongoDB so hope it can help anyone on this hackathon.
I got stuck for a second on reading that one of the rules says that the participant needs to be 18+, while I am 16. Is there a way the participants below 18 could submit there projects... Kindly let us know. Much obliged
Very cool! This sounds like a fun one. 🙌
Awesome! I have been looking for another hackathon ever since Hacktoberfest ended, and now I have found one :P Good luck and have fun everyone!
How will the projects be judged in each of the 5 categories?
I see there is a panel of judges, but is it based on creativity, utility of Mongo functions, or anything specific? Or just generally which projects they like best?
Hello! The judging process is largely up to the judges collective discretion, but they generally base their decisions off of creativity, successful completion of all template post prompts, quality of submission post, and correct utility of MongoDB's tools and services.
Excellent! Thanks for the response!
👏
it will be amazing
Waou, this is going to be fun
Cool,
Anyone here for team up.
Man, this seems like it's gonna be so much fun. Just two more years to go and I'll be 18.
Question about the rules: if we have a project that we technically started and did just a liiiiiiiiiittle bit of work on a long time ago, then didn't touch for months, but then used this hackathon as an opportunity to actually make progress on it, are we still eligible for the prize? Or does it have to be a brand new fresh repo created after December 13?
Hi! Yes, we will still accept that submission.
Looking forward to seeing this project 😁
There is still time to participate!
18+ again 😢

Is there any free book pdf about mongobd and MongoDB Atlas services?
I encourage all participants
There are many places to go to learn about MongoDB and Atlas. If you are looking for something specific, the documentation (docs.mongodb.com/) is a great resource. There, you will find everything you need with good examples.
Documentation can be intimidating at first though, so if you are new to MongoDB, a great place to get started is the MongoDB University (university.mongodb.com/). There, you will find videos and tutorials for topics ranging from beginner to advanced.
If you need ideas, or how-to’s, you can also take a look at the Developer Hub (mongodb.com/developer/). You will find hundreds of MongoDB usage examples in there.
I hope that helps, and I’m looking forward to seeing your submission!
Thank you!!!
Can we take part in 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.
For those looking to do something with python and fastapi, you can get a headstart using my fastapi-mongodb-starter :)
Hello, I'm curious as to when the winners will be announced. I'm really looking forward to it.
Hey there! They have been announced here.
Can we make something with MongoDB charts and enter in the contest?
Hi Ivy,
I can see a lot of the Contest/Hackathon categories potentially using MongoDB Charts along side with: Atlas Search,Atlas Serverless Instances,Time Series Collections,Realm Functions or Realm Triggers.
For example the
This one will go great with the use of MongoDB charts.
Have fun innovating :D
Thanks! :D
Hello! Does the application need to be hosted on a website or can we do a desktop application (such as a java application with a jar file)?
The application does not need to be hosted anywhere, as long as you can provide the instructions to run the application locally, that is fine. Make sure to document with as much detail as possible.
Looking forward to seeing your submission!
Can we register after 13 dec?
Hello! There is no registration needed for this hackathon. All you need to do is fill out the form listed above to receive your $100 MongoDB credit, build your project, and submit a post on DEV using the template link above. As long as you do all of this before Jan 13, 2022, you're good!

i'm only 13 years old
I would love to participate though!

I'm learning web development after being a writer for (proswriters.com). I must say that development is interesting, if I had advanced skills, I'd have participated in this event.
Nice
Why not 13+ 😭
Hi
Wish I saw this post earlier :(
I only have a couple of days remaining, but I'll try to make a simple submission.
Hi Anthony! It's not a world's worth of time, but you do have a week left! Hope to see a submission from you and good luck 😊
can we submit more than one category ? for example im interested in Automation Innovation and Action Star is that ok if i submit two projects at the same time?
Absolutely!
is there any restriction about team members or something?
Hello! You are free to collaborate with others! Just make sure that you credit their contributions in the submission post. Also, please note that any prizes will need to be split up amongst yourselves — DEV will only send prizes to the person who posts the submission.
Hello guys,
Does anyone has any info about how to add license to react app and node js backend.
Bascically what filed we need to add.
Hi! The license is the Apache-2 permissive license (apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0). To add a licence to a Github repository, you can add the license itself in a file named LICENSE.md at the root of your project. You can also find instructions on Github.com on how to add a license to a repository.
Looking forward to seeing your submission!
Can we participate as a group or only individual participation is allowed ?
You are free to participate as a group as long as only one person posts the submission on DEV. If your project wins, we will send a prize to the person who posted and you would work out sharing the prize amongst yourselves :)
how to submit project in this hackathon????
could any one help me
Hello! Here are the submission instructions, taken from the post above...
Note: By filling out the form above, you should receive an email containing your special MongoDB code within one hour. If you don't see it within that timeframe, please check your spam folder.
can this be a team project?
Definitely! Just note that we will only fulfill the prize to the person who posts the entry (so you'd need to distribute any prize amongst yourselves).
