Solution

To prevent data loss in the final stages of the hackathon, the team implemented an infrastructure with fast scaling. Load testing was carried out, where all the shortcomings were corrected.

In addition, the team implemented its own anti-cheat system, which validated all incoming code for plagiarism. A pentest was carried out, which resulted in the system accepting only the original code.

During the hackathon competition the system showed itself in the best possible way, coping with loads and not allowing downloads of someone else's code. Many participants positively noted both usability and platform performance.

The client was completely satisfied with the project.

Outcome

We continue to support the platform during competitions
