Challenge Categories

Choose your domain. Solve problems that matter. Build for the real world.

Scalable Backend Systems

Design APIs and services that handle millions of requests. Master caching, queuing, and distributed systems.

High-Traffic Web Apps

Build performant frontends that scale. Optimize rendering, state management, and user experience.

Real-Time Systems

Create live collaboration tools, chat systems, and streaming platforms with WebSockets and event-driven architecture.

AI-Powered Applications

Integrate ML models, build RAG systems, and create intelligent features that solve real problems.

DevOps & Cloud Architecture

Design infrastructure as code, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud-native solutions on AWS, GCP, or Azure.

Data Engineering

Build ETL pipelines, data lakes, and analytics platforms that process data at scale.

Not Another Coding Contest

Most competitions test algorithms. We test engineering. Build applications that could ship to production, solve problems that companies actually face, and prove you can design systems that scale.

Real-World Problems

Challenges inspired by actual startup and enterprise scenarios, not toy examples.

Scalability Focus

We evaluate how your solution handles load, not just if it works.

Industry Judges

Get feedback from engineers at top tech companies who've built systems at scale.

Stack Freedom

Use any language, framework, or cloud provider. We judge solutions, not tools.

Portfolio-Ready

Every submission becomes a showcase project you can present to employers.

class ScalableService {
// Handle 100k+ requests/sec
async processRequest(req) {
const cached = await redis.get(req.id);
if (cached) return cached;
const result = await this.compute(req);
await redis.setex(req.id, 3600, result);
return result;
}
