The Infrastructure
This year, our hackathon is proudly powered by Google Cloud, providing a robust and cutting-edge infrastructure to support your innovation and creativity. Here’s what you need to know about the infrastructure and the resources available to you:
Infrastructure Overview
Each team will be provided with a pre-configured Google Cloud Platform (GCP) environment, specifically set up by the organizers to ensure a seamless experience. The environment will include all necessary tools and resources to facilitate your project development, including access to Google’s powerful Vertex AI and Gemini services.
Source Code Management
To streamline the development process, organizers will create private repositories under a common organization, with one repository allocated per team. These repositories will be pre-created and securely managed to ensure that only your team members have access. Access rights will be exclusively granted to your team to maintain confidentiality and control over your code. Be sure to commit your source code to these repositories throughout the hackathon to keep your work organized and up-to-date.
