In August, we announced a new challenge on DEV, in partnership with our friends at Redis: the Redis Hackathon.

Our amazing community was challenged with leveraging Redis' strengths as a multi-model primary database to build brand new apps or to simplify an existing app. Submissions were to be filed in one of four categories: MEAN/MERN Mavericks, Microservice Mavens, Minimalism Magicians, and Wacky Wildcards.

It's never easy for contest judges to pick winners and this hackathon was even harder to decide with 25 winners to choose in total. Even so, judges from the DEV and Redis teams managed to pick our winners and I'm excited to share them with you today!

Let's take a look at the winning projects for the Redis Hackathon on DEV!
