Runpod Flash Hack Day

​Note: In person event is tomorrow at the Web Data Loft by Bright Data. The remote Hackathon will begin in 2-3 weeks! Please stay tuned for updates.

​Runpod Flash is a Python SDK that turns any function into a live, auto-scaling serverless endpoint. You never write a Dockerfile or manage a container image — specify your GPU and dependencies directly in Python, and Flash handles everything else.

Join us at the Bright Data Web Loft on Tuesday, June 30, 2026 for a full-day in-person hackathon focused on building real workflows with Flash. We’ll kick off with a technical walkthrough, then move into a guided build sprint with mentorship, checkpoints, demos, and prizes.

What we’ll explore:

• ​Python-first serverless endpoints for GPU and CPU workloads

• ​Queue-based jobs and low-latency API patterns

• ​Practical production concerns: scaling, reliability, observability, and cost awareness

• ​Real project shipping, not just theory

​Prizes:
1. First place: $4k cash + $4k credits
2. Second place: $2k cash + $2k credits
3. Third place: $1k cash + $1k credits
+ bonus prizes for miscellaneous categories

​If you’re an AI/data builder who wants faster iteration and less operational overhead, this event is for you.
