The registration channel for TiDB Hackathon officially opens on September 13, 2022. Participants can form their own teams to compete. After the preliminary selection, they will complete coding and final presentations on-site. The winning teams will receive cash prizes, technical, and resource support. The competition judges are a luxurious lineup of senior experts in the database field, community tech gurus, and top investors who will provide in-depth reviews of the projects. Additionally, top investors will participate in the selection process throughout, allowing your skills to be seen by more people.

I’m somewhat familiar with RocksDB code and have looked at TiKV code, but I don’t have any good ideas and can’t join the competition.
