Amazon Web Services
A Quick Overview of Demo-Friendly AWS APIs.
AWS offers over 90 services and products. Many of those may not be relevant to a 24 hour hackathon, like those for large scale deployments or enterprise IT. To cut through the noise here’s a quick overview of hacker-friendly AWS services, which can remove some of the grunt work and let you focus on your audience.
Slides and brief overview of the following services:
- Lex: covered by our Lex team!
- Rekognition: an API for image recognition. Projects advantage of you phone camera, biometric auth, and other image-based based apps can get a jump start with the Rekognition API.
- Polly: Powers speech-enabled products and text-to-speech apps. The perfect compliment to Lex.
Notification products:
- Pinpoint: native mobile push notifications
- SNS: managed pub/sub service
- SNS: Transactional email service
Elastic Transcoder: transcode video in real time
Gaming APIs:
- Lumberyard: Cross-platform gaming engine, with live streaming/twitch support
- Gamelift: managed service for deploying and hosting games.
Managed services and deployment: Some demo apps may still require cloud hosting. You may want to use a pushbutton service like Heroku, but AWS offers simple services like Elastic Beanstalk for application deployment, and RDS for managed database, to let you quickly stand up a cloud environment. A quick slide or two to outline those services.

Accenture
The Accenture Hackathon Social Impact Challenge tasks you with building an app that helps improve the lives of those affected after a catastrophic disaster. In an emergency, such as Hurricane Harvey, your neighbors may be the first to help. How can we: 1. Let the victims of a natural disaster notify everyone of where they are and what their status is? 2. Help rescuers coordinate efforts across all agencies to find and rescue victims? 3. How can we keep everyone apprised of real time changes in the weather and road conditions? 4. Help evacuees get the shelter, food and water they need? 5. Communicate on a massive individual scale to coordinate this effort? $5,000 will be given to the top team that utilizes existing APIs in conjunction with any other technology of their choice to create a first in class solution.
