Memgraph’s First Hackathon

Memgraph recently held its first hackathon to gain insight into the user experience of their products, as many of their engineers had not previously used Memgraph for personal projects. The event allowed participants to step into the roles of users and fostered collaboration by forming diverse teams through random pairing, with the goal of creating innovative app examples utilizing Memgraph. Participants were provided with data sets but had the freedom to choose their projects, resulting in a range of applications such as sentiment analysis on Reddit comments, a Slack bot, a user insights tool, a music recommendation engine, and a railway system monitoring app. The event culminated in presentations and awards across five categories, with the team "405 Found" winning the best overall app for their streaming application. The success of the hackathon has encouraged Memgraph to plan future events, and the projects will soon be available on their website for other developers to explore and build upon.
