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!
