The winners of Spring Race I
Posts in Category: clouders
Spring Race I reached its finish line on April 30 at midnight. We want to congratulate all the competitors and to invite them to join Spring Race II next week.
There have been a lot of teams that registered, but unfortunately not all of them submitted a solution. While this is normal in a race, even if there is only one winner, we want everyone to reach the finishing line 🙂 So, please go ahead and let us know in a comment to this article your thoughts on the chosen subject, how well it was described, and the difficulty level. Your feedback will be considered for the next race.
As announced earlier, Spring Race I starts today. Before heading to the problem, here’s a quick step-by-step reminder.
- Read the terms and conditions.
- Fill in the form for you and/or your team.
- Make sure you have a Bitbucket account.
- Stick to the deadline – April 30th, 24:00 GMT+3.

We hope you made the best of the Easter break and you’re in good shape. 🙂 Because tomorrow we’ll be kicking off Spring Races! All terms and conditions regarding our online hackathon are already available here. For a good start, we recommend that you read them already.

I’ve never had the experience of an internship. Back when I started, you’d work under somebody’s wing for a week a max and that was it. No real internships. And so, every time we have students in our office, like we did three days ago at Cloud Night, I get slightly curious and envious. 🙂 I wish I had that too. A company that would open their offices just for me, introduce me to its teams, show me what they do, treat me like a professional, pamper me a little bit. And all that for my own growth, which would eventually lead to the company’s growth. Looks like a pretty fair chance to me.
It’s that time of the year again, when technology companies start opening champagne bottles, celebrating their products and success stories. We like bubbles very much as well, so we wanted to share some great news with you.
A recent IDC article stated that “There’s a $100B cloud in our future.” On paper, this looks like a huge opportunity and it’s backed up by big trends such as the distributed enterprise, the proliferation of devices needing to access enterprise networks, IT assets being managed remotely and big data and apps to mention just a few. While these opportunities are obviously real, when service providers try to sell to SMBs, the situation is not that clear-cut.
We are students, we may not fight with lightsabers, but we definitely had an internship. A great internship, we might add. 🙂
We’re writing this from the orange open space office, where we worked with the 4PSA team and… we became part of it. Here, we had a great summer, we made friends and learned a lot of cool things. But, more importantly, we felt like we belonged to this large family.
Services offload their computationally expensive tasks into workers. Think of software that converts video from its original format to a web standard. This kind of job can be considered long-running, even for state-of-the-art hardware. The web app can’t convert the video, it doesn’t have access to the software and, even if it did, we’d have little control over what ends up on our servers. The service used by the app could convert the video, but it would take valuable processing time shifting though millions of requests.
