Dotnet Reports Challenge #1: Setup Enterprise Reports (2)

1st Place:6 Months Enterprise License (value $3,000) of Dotnet Report Free + $250 Amazon Gift Card
2nd Place: 2 United Club Passes ($100 Value)
Questions - contact@dotnetreport.com
Let's say we have an Enterprise Software that has an Ordering and Invoicing system that stores Customer data like products, orders, invoices, addresses, etc. and lets them create orders. The Enterprise Software uses a MS SQL Server database in the backend and an ASP .NET Web Application (MVC or .NET Core or .NET 5) as the front end.

Your challenge is to create at least 3 useful "Embedded Reports" inside your Enterprise Application, with at least one of them using a Graph/Chart. An example of a useful report is an "Order History" report, where the user can pick a date range, like "This Month" or "Last Month", and the system will generate a Report with count and total sales amount of all the orders placed. Another example would be to get a report of sales history per day or per product sold, which can also be plotted on Bar Chart or a Pie Chart.

You can use the "Northwind" database as the backend database for this Challenge if you like. The user must be able to access the list of Reports from a link inside your main application. Then they can click on a Report Name to run it.

Blockpoint Systems Challenge: Build a Fun Demo Using Blockpoint's Immutable Database (2)

1st Place:$200 credit + $200 cash
2nd Place:$100 credit + $100 cash
Questions -hackathon@blockpointdb.com
Restrictions: Restricted to US users only

The bSQL Database(https://bsql.org/) from Blockpoint Systems is a high performance relational database with built-in blockchain immutability. It was developed to maximize data integrity and visibility while maintaining and improving upon traditional database functionality.

Like a blockchain, data in bSQL is hashed and linked. Unlike a peer-to-peer blockchain, data is not publicly distributed across machines. Data in the bSQL is never physically deleted or overwritten, instead append-only data is added to the blockchain.

This storage method provides three key benefits:
- Security
- Auditability
- Analytics

We need you to develop and create a use case that highlights one of the three key benefits above.

Some ideas could include:
- Tracking medical patient data
- Observe application usage patterns
- Protecting data from malicious users
- Analyze record history and changes over time

In order to start please contact us for free registration codes:

Contact Through Slack-https://join.slack.com/t/bsqlcommunity/shared_invite/zt-vprexeia-HxLlIy3IHI4CwRFAiRH2BQ
Or-hackathon@blockpointdb.com

What to submit:
- Overview: Describe your project, its features, and how bSQL is used in your application.
- Video: Record and upload a demonstrative video. The video should showcase your application and should not be longer than 5 minutes.
- The link to your Github project page.

Zebrium Challenge: Build endpoint that does something cool with a webhook payload (2)

1st Place:$1600 - $800 Amazon Gift card and $800 Zebrium subscription credit
2nd Place:$800 - $400 Amazon Gift card and $400 Zebrium subscription credit
Questions - gavin@zebrium.com
Zebrium uses machine learning to analyze application and infrastructure logs to pinpoint the root cause of software problems. When it finds the root cause, it can use an outbound integration to send a webhook with the details. Your task in this challenge is to build an endpoint that does something clever, creative or useful with the webhook payload. It could be as simple as sending an SMS alert with the details, or triggering a workflow that opens a ticket in Jira or maybe a cool iPhone app to manage the notifications??

To get started, you will need a free account (visit www.zebrium.com and click “Get Started Free”) and you will need to collect logs from an app environment. You can do this in your own environment or follow these instructions to install a demo app, break the app using a Chaos tool and see the root cause that Zebrium creates – see https://www.zebrium.com/blog/how-to-try-zebrium-using-a-realistic-demo-app.

Details of the outbound integration webhook payload can be found here (called a webhook alert): https://docs.zebrium.com/docs/outbound_alerts/webhook_alerts/. To set up a webhook outbound integration, select “outbound integrations” from the menu in the top right of the Zebrium portal.

Good luck, and we’re excited to see who can build the coolest webhook endpoint!
