Cloud Products & Tools¶
This section provides an overview of various products and tools that can be leveraged during the hackathon:
- Cloudflare Platform (Workers, R2, D1 and all Edge Networking Components)
- Azure Function (Shared App Service Plan Non-Production)
- Azure APIM or Kong OSS
- Pickles Shared Service Bus (Non-Production)
- Azure Storage LRS Shared (Blob, File and Table Non-Production)
- Okta Preview (Sandbox and Non Production Workforce IAM)
- Entra External ID (Sandbox and Non Production B2B, B2C IAM)
Tip
If you need access to these resources in Azure, kindly reach out to the Hackathon IT Support representatives. We will get you sorted out as soon as possible.
Cloudflare Platform (Workers, R2, D1 and all Edge Networking Components)¶
How can I use it: You can use the Cloudflare Platform to deploy serverless functions (Cloudflare Workers), store and serve static assets (R2), and manage Cloudflare Tunnels to securely expose a frontend component that is private.
Azure Function (Shared App Service Plan Non-Production)¶
How can I use it: Azure Functions allows you to run event-driven serverless code without having to explicitly provision or manage infrastructure. Useful for lightweight solutions that require quick backend processing.
Azure APIM or Kong OSS¶
How can I use it: Use Azure API Management (APIM) or Kong OSS to create, publish, secure, and analyze APIs. Best way to expose our APIs to other services or teams in a controlled manner.
Pickles Shared Service Bus (Non-Production)¶
How can I use it: The Pickles Shared Service Bus enables communication between different services and applications in a decoupled manner.
Azure Storage LRS Shared (Blob, File and Table Non-Production)¶
How can I use it: Azure Storage LRS Shared provides durable and highly available storage for unstructured data, including blobs, files, and tables.
Okta Preview (Sandbox and Non Production Workforce IAM)¶
How can I use it: Okta Preview allows you to manage user identities and access across various applications and services. This is great to handle authentication and authorization for your hackathon projects that are for internal use (expose to Pickles employees only).
Entra External ID (Sandbox and Non Production B2B, B2C IAM)¶
How can I use it: Entra External ID provides identity and access management for external users, enabling secure collaboration with partners and customers. Useful for B2B or B2C scenarios where your hackathon project needs to be accessed by users outside of Pickles.
