Under the cut, as usual - details.
What is this hackathon?
SberCloud, a member of the Sberbank ecosystem, held a 50-hour online hackathon SberCloud.Advanced Hacking. It was held from 11 to 13 December 2020. Participants - tech startups and independent developers interested in cloud technologies, have implemented their projects using the SberCloud.Advanced cloud platform.
As part of the competition, SberCloud provided access to many basic (IaaS) and high-level (PaaS) platform services: CCE (Kubernetes), FunctionGraph, API Gateway, Document Database Service, Distributed Cache Service, Relational Database Service and others.
Okay, I want to hear about the results
The hackathon was attended by teams from all over Russia and a number of other countries: Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kazan, Novosibirsk, Yekaterinburg, Perm, Tula, Irkutsk, Barnaul, Nakhodka, as well as the Czech Republic, Vietnam and the USA.
Based on the results of the hackathon, the jury determined the best projects. The decisions of the participants were assessed according to 4 parameters: originality, relevance and expediency, the quality of elaboration and the most effective use of SberCloud.Advanced cloud services.
1 placetaken over by the EyeCloud team. She has created a mobile application for recording various parameters of eye examination. The basis of the application is a cloud-based machine learning model, which made it possible to halve the lens fitting time. If you use the app for patients in ophthalmology departments of hospitals, the number of lenses made by mistake will be reduced by five times.

Online mode did not interfere with us, as we had a well-coordinated team. But for newer teams, the disappearance of individual members can be an increased stress, so next time I would come to a hackathon with a lot of participants . "
2nd place - team Albra. The essence of her project is to automate the process of diagnosing pneumonia in clinics by radiography using a web service based on artificial intelligence. The product will allow medical organizations to improve efficiency in diagnosing different types of pneumonia and reduce the burden on their budget through the use of inexpensive X-ray equipment.
Team captain's comment: “Regarding the hackathon, there was a desire and hope to test the hypothesis of using deep machine learning methods on powerful servers without a GPU, and these expectations were more than justified. Not only a product was created, but also a tremendous experience was gained in using various cloud services to accelerate the development and implementation of software.
The project will be continued, and there are already proposals from companies for cooperation. I intend to make the service smarter, so that artificial intelligence learns on the fly to recognize other types of diseases . "
3rd place- estim8.work team. The essence of the project is to create a tool for freelancers and outsourcers for transparent interaction with clients, which helps to form the cost of developing an IT project, generate Invoice and show statistics of the development process.
Team comment: “The expectations for the hackathon were to get together in the digital community and create a cool and interesting product or concept. And also look at modern trends, new tools in our digital environment. Well, and win, of course. All this was justified almost completely.
After the hackathon, we will have a good night's sleep, get back together and discuss future plans. The team really gathered at this event, we need to get to know each other better outside the hackathon and understand who wants what. With an ideal development of events, we will write out everything that users really need, we will implement the very minimum and we will customize ... The
online hackathon is very convenient. There is not enough live communication, of course. But the work efficiency, in my opinion, is higher . "
Prizes to the winners for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places amounted to 350 thousand rubles, 200 thousand rubles. and 150 thousand rubles. respectively.
