ScyllaDB Developer Hackathon: CQL Editor

During a virtual ScyllaDB Developer Hackathon, a team led by Omri Vardi developed a CQL editor integrated with ScyllaDB Cloud, leveraging Monaco, the code editor behind Visual Studio Code. The team, composed of members from the ScyllaDB Cloud team, aimed to create a tool for writing CQL statements, executing queries, and exploring database schemas in a tree view. They faced decisions between integrating existing open-source projects and developing new solutions, ultimately creating a feature-rich environment with functionalities like autocomplete for CQL syntax, query result management, and schema exploration. Despite challenges, they successfully showcased their project, securing second place in the hackathon, and expressed intentions for future enhancements, such as a possible VSCode extension or desktop application. The hackathon underscored the team's collaborative spirit and anticipation for future projects to benefit ScyllaDB Cloud users.
