MICROFUNCTIONS HACKATHON

THE CHALLENGE

Create an exciting serverless service performing an interesting task in the general area of 5G, serverless and Edge Cloud Computing, supported by the Nokia Bell Labs serverless platform MICROFUNCTIONS.

WHAT IS MICROFUNCTIONS?

A Bell Labs serverless platform for creating event-driven, low-latency, self-scaling applications. No more orchestration of virtual machines or containers—write your application logic as a set of interconnected Python functions and just upload your application code. MICROFUNCTIONS manages capacity and scaling, routing events and invoking the right functions for you.

THE HACKATHON

The event will take place on our Stuttgart location. As a participant, you’ll get hands-on experience with serverless programming and the MICROFUNCTIONS platform and will be introduced to a practical 5G problem along with data traces from a 5G network. The day will start with a short tutorial on serverless computing and MICROFUNCTIONS, followed by the hackathon to develop your ideas. The hackathon will be interactive, with plenty of opportunities to connect to like-minded, exchange ideas and most importantly, have fun!

Bring your Own Device !

Please bring your own device with you !
Requriements are: local Installation of Python 3.6 (for using the Microfunctions SDK) & Installed Chrome Browser (required also with Apple HW)

WHAT’S IN FOR YOU?

You’ll get an introduction to and hands-on experience with the emerging serverless paradigm and the MICROFUNCTIONS platform in the 5G arena, and you’ll spend some hours of fun, coding with fellow researchers. Free food and drinks will be provided ... and you will have the chance to win the 1st MICROFUNCTIONS prize for the best hack!
