Netlify

Netlify automates deployment for your frontend, serving your apps and sites over our custom global Content Delivery Network. You won't need server-side rendering with our integrated prerendering, proxy redirects, form handling, user authentication, serverless Lambda functions, and more.

Purpose

Developers everywhere are using the JAMstack approach to connect blazing fast frontends to a growing array of microservice APIs. There are lots of advantages to this, but sometimes you need to run a bit of server-side code. It's not worth running a whole server for, and that approach doesn't scale well, anyway. Serverless functions services like AWS Lambda are perfect for this, and Netlify's new functions add-on makes it easy to deploy, test, and access your Lambda functions right alongside the rest of your app.

Challenge

We are looking for the most interesting app using Netlify's integrated Lambda functions.

To be eligible for the prize, your app must be deployed to Netlify, and use at least one Lambda function.

Hasura

Quick Description

Hasura provides instant backend APIs for your frontend, a simple git push to deploy your app and GraphQL APIs on PostgreSQL without any set up.

Purpose

Almost every dynamic Web or Mobile App requires an API to talk to the Database, Authentication for User Identity, some form of File Management and an easy way to deploy.

Hasura makes your development fast with

  • Instant Backend APIs for Database (GraphQL / HTTP JSON over PostgreSQL)
  • Authentication APIs for multiple providers with a ready to use UI Kit.
  • Filestore APIs to manage file uploads and retreival.

Imagine all of these APIs with permissions / access control defined by you for your application. And just doing a git push hasura master to deploy your app.

Hasura has quickstart projects so that you don't have to setup the initial project structure / boilerplate code. Head over to Hasura Hub for cloning a boilerplate of your choice. For example - hello-react. This will be a ready to deploy project which will give you a hasura-app.io domain for your project, HTTPS enabled, HTTP/2 - gzip supported API Gateway so that its production ready.

TokBox

Quick Description

Easy to use API for embedding WebRTC-based interactive live video into your web and mobile apps.

Purpose

Allow your app users to communicate and be seen with Live Video.

The TokBox API builds on WebRTC and is available for JavaScript (browsers), iOS, Android and Windows. We have ReactJS and ReactNative sample code showing how to use the APIs within React. Modern browsers, including Chrome, Firefox and Safari, have WebRTC built-in and so JS apps can be easily run with no plugins. Mobile deploymemts simply include our SDKs.

In addition to live video and voice, the API also provides screensharing, session recording, inter-client signaling, chat/messaging and other capabilities.

The TokBox cloud platform (PaaS) scales from one-to-one video interactions to large multi-party video chat sessions to interactive broadcasts to huge audiences, including concurrent streaming to Facebook, YouTube and Twitch. TokBox is trusted by thousands of global customers including leading social media apps and industry apps in Healthcare, eLearning, Financial Services and Entertainment.

Challenges

Live Video augments the user experience of your app, so dev challenge is to think through your UX and when and how video communications enhances workflows and processes your users need to perform within your overall app design.

Social use-cases tend to emphasize users meeting ad-hoc and communicating between themselves while industry use-cases tend to emphasize well-defined moments such as doctor/patient consultations and eLearning classrooms with teachers and many students.
