And the Winners Are: Recapping the CockroachDB × AWS Hackathon - Build with Agentic Memory

CockroachDB and AWS hosted a Devpost hackathon focused on building AI agents with persistent memory, requiring participants to use at least two CockroachDB tools and one AWS service. About 3,700 developers registered and submitted more than 600 projects, with 78 finalists evaluated for memory design, technical implementation, real-world impact, and production readiness. First-place winner Anchor uses CockroachDB vector indexing and AWS Bedrock to help diagnose and remediate CockroachDB Cloud incidents while transactionally preserving reliable records of past fixes. Second-place Unsay is a medication-safety agent that uses bitemporal CockroachDB data and AWS Lambda to identify when changing FDA information invalidates prior answers and generate corrections. Third-place Interlock addresses conflicts among multiple AI coding agents by identifying and selectively repairing the effects of colliding code changes rather than discarding broader work.
