My first-ever hackathon — FalkorDB Graph Hacks 2026.

POV: me at the submission deadline

Anywayyy, meet StockRescue 🛒

The idea is pretty simple.

Imagine Store A runs out of milk, but Store B nearby has extra.

Why can't they just help each other out?

So I built a tiny prototype using Python + Streamlit + FalkorDB that finds nearby stores with extra stock and suggests safe transfers.

Also, this was my first time trying graph databases! Basically, instead of just storing data, you connect things and explore their relationships.

Kinda cool when you actually see it working.

Now the fun part 👀

I'm curious how Blinkit, FirstClub, Zepto and Swiggy Instamart deal with stock shortages across their stores.

Do you guys face similar problems? How do you handle them at scale?

And devs, help me out here!

What else could I build into this? Demand prediction? Better stock movement? Some wild AI idea?

Would love suggestions, feedback, or people who want to build together. 🫶

Didn't make it to the submission, but you guys definitely got me to explore something new. 😭🚀
