We are so delighted to partner with Redis for a new DEV challenge!
Running through August 10, the Redis AI Challenge is all about showing how Redis can power the next generation of intelligent, real-time applications. Whether you're passionate about AI or eager to explore what Redis can do beyond caching, this challenge has a path for you.
We have two prompts this challenge, giving you two chances to win from a $3,000 prize pool! Flex your creativity, build an impressive project for your portfolio, and show us what you can create with the speed and power of Redis.
Our Prompts
Real-Time AI Innovators
Build an innovative AI-powered application using Redis as your real-time data layer. We want to see you go beyond simple chatbots and explore high-impact use cases like vector search-driven recommendations, semantic caching to optimize LLM performance, or real-time feature streaming for ML workflows. Show us how Redis accelerates the future of AI.
Redis is more than just a cache—it's a powerful, multi-model platform. For this prompt, show us what Redis can really do. Build an impressive application that leverages Redis for capabilities like being a primary database, full-text search, real-time streams, or pub/sub.
All Participants with a valid submission will receive a completion badge on their DEV profile.
How To Participate
To get started, choose one of the prompts above and use the corresponding submission template to publish your post on DEV.
Your submission must use Redis, and all code must be open source.
We encourage you to explore the latest features in Redis 8 to make your project stand out. Submissions that go above and beyond by creatively combining multiple Redis capabilities will be highly regarded by our judges!
No credit card is required to participate. The free tier on Redis Cloud is sufficient to build your project.
Redis Cloud is available globally, but some regions (e.g. China) may experience limitations.
