MongoDB AI Hackathon: Code for a Cause

Unleash the power of MongoDB Atlas on AWS to build solutions that make a real difference. Whether you’re crafting a new app or enhancing an existing one, this hackathon is your chance to use MongoDB’s flexible, scalable developer data platform and MongoDB AI Application Program ecosystem partners to tackle real-world challenges. Let’s hack for impact!

MongoDB on AWS provides a powerful combination of MongoDB Atlas, a fully managed database service, with the scalability and reliability of AWS infrastructure. MongoDB Atlas on AWS enables developers to effortlessly deploy, manage, and scale applications with rich data handling capabilities, all while leveraging the global reach and robust security features of AWS.

MongoDB’s vector database and LangChain’s application framework make it possible to build and deploy solutions that leverage your proprietary data to address many use cases. With MongoDB’s efficient data storage and LangChain’s flexible design, you can increase operational productivity, improve discovery and personalization, and enhance scalability and performance of your LLMs.

This is your chance to push the boundaries of what's possible, using cutting-edge technology to solve problems that matter. From environmental sustainability to healthcare, education, and beyond, we encourage you to think big and code for a cause. Let’s come together to build a better future, one integration at a time.
