Flight-optimized hackathon discovery platform. Enables global hackathon search based on flight costs and availability. Built with modern web technologies and comprehensive monitoring systems.
Production-grade monitoring and deployment architecture. Next.js/React frontend with CSS Modules. Core APIs:
- Search functionality
- Data aggregation
- Flight integration
- Hackathon data processing
Standard hackathon selection process breaks down at scale. Manual flight comparison across multiple events becomes intractable. Price fluctuations require constant monitoring. Geographic constraints artificially limit participation. No existing solutions combine hackathon and flight data effectively.
Architecture breakdown:
- Frontend: React/Next.js
- Backend: Node.js
- Data Sources:
- MLH Events API
- Flight pricing APIs
- Geolocation services
System Components:
- Data aggregation layer
- Price optimization engine
- Search indexing system
- Real-time flight monitoring
Required steps:
