One week. One theme. Build something real.
We're running our first ever virtual hackathon - co-hosted by ClickHouse & Trigger.dev, open to professional developers across NAMER & EMEA. No fluff, no filler. Just a week to ship a production-quality AI agent chat experience using two of the best developer tools in the stack.
The theme
Build a chat agent that changes how people interact with information. Trigger.dev handles the orchestration & background jobs. ClickHouse powers the real-time data layer underneath. Both are required - that's the point. You'll get free cloud credits for both platforms the moment you're accepted.
What you're building for
A jury of 10-15 judges will score all submissions across six criteria: use of ClickHouse & Trigger.dev (25%), problem fit (20%), technical implementation (20%), innovation (20%), scalability & impact (10%), & presentation (5%).
Prizes - EUR 10,000 total pool
Grand prize - Ultimate desk setup bundle (iMac, iPad Air, AirPod Max, Apple Watch accessories) + 2K ClickHouse Cloud credits + Trigger.dev credits
Runner-up - Dev bundle (MacBook Air, AirPods Pro, accessories) + 1K ClickHouse Cloud credits + Trigger.dev credits
Bonus category (best OLTP + OLAP integration) - Lego set of your choice + 500 ClickHouse Cloud credits + Trigger.dev credits
Social raffle - A co-branded ClickHouse Trigger.dev swag box, open to all registered participants

Who can apply

This is an application-based event - we're looking for builders who have shipped real things & can work independently with minimal hand-holding. ClickHouse & Trigger.dev employees are not eligible.
Teams need to submit together under one captain!
The rules in brief
Your submission needs a public GitHub repo or in a cloud enviorment, a demo video on YouTube (max 5 minutes), & meaningful use of both ClickHouse & Trigger.dev. All code must be written during the build window. AI coding assistants, Copilot, Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT - are explicitly permitted & encouraged.
Interested in judging?
We're assembling a panel of 10-15 technical judges for the ClickHouse & Trigger.dev Virtual Summer Hackathon. If you're an experienced developer, engineer, or technical practitioner with a background in AI, data engineering, or developer tooling, we'd love to have you involved.
Judging is fully async & remote. Time commitment is approximately 1-3 hours between July 23-27. You'll review submissions independently using a structured rubric & score across six criteria covering technical implementation, innovation, use of ClickHouse & Trigger.dev, & more.
We're looking for judges who can evaluate production-quality code objectively & have no conflicts of interest with participating teams.
