20 cars. Hundreds of sensors. Millions of data points per race. In this 1-hour hackathon, plug into a live F1 event stream and build a real-time race leaderboard powered by Confluent - tracking lap times, positions and race order as they change, corner by corner.

Pick your team: May 19 you're with Mercedes, May 20 you're with Ferrari  and see if you can own the leaderboard before the chequered flag.

You'll learn key skills including setting up a real-time ingestion pipeline for live F1 telemetry, writing stream processing logic to track lap times and race order as they change, building a live leaderboard that updates with every new event, and working with core Confluent concepts: topics, producers, consumers and stream processing.

Walk away with a fully working real-time leaderboard AND the skills to apply it to any live event data stream.

Show up, build, and win — first to finish takes home a DJI Drone 🏆 and every participant gets a limited-edition Confluent T-shirt!
