[list of TOP 60 finalists]

Finalists (60 events / teams): all finalists will receive TiDB Future App Hackathon 2023 limited perimeter.

For the first time in this TiDB Hackathon, the competition project is required to be built entirely on TiDB Serverless, and the vast majority of teams praise the ease of use and experience of TiDB Serverless. TiDB Serverless is a fully hosted, fully automated HTAP database service that enables developers to deploy their infrastructure in the most economical way. There is no upfront fee for TiDB Serverless, and enterprises can pay according to the actual SQL requests submitted and the storage actually used. This consumption-based pricing model creates a "start-up, pay-as-you-go" consumption model for developers.

Developers can deploy and configure a fully functional TiDB Serverless database with just a few clicks. TiDB Serverless is highly compatible with MySQL, and developers can continue to use the MySQL development frameworks and tools they are familiar with. In the course of the competition, the contestants have said that TiDB Serverless can significantly accelerate the efficiency of developing applications, quickly start their Idea from scratch and implement it on the ground.

In addition, TiDB Serverless's HTAP capability provides real-time scenario analysis support for many applications in this competition. TiDB HTAP is built for large-scale transactions, real-time analysis and mixed workloads, as well as applications with surging traffic, and can automatically scale and scale to meet real-time needs. In this competition, the participating team uses the HTAP ability of TiDB to release the unique real-time analysis value of HTAP, which provides enough agility and flexibility for the application.

Yao Wei, general manager of PingCAP Community Business Department, said: "I have carefully reviewed all the projects in this competition, and without emphasizing that the projects must use artificial intelligence (AI)-related technologies, almost all high-profile projects have consistently used AI to build their own applications. But in today's era, AI is not the only one in the field, other traditional technologies are also providing developers with a more and more convenient experience, and continue to iterate with the tide. As long as we go back to focusing on the developers themselves, all technologies have a bright future and expect more people to create innovative applications through TiDB Serverless. "
