Happy holidays from DataStax! This year, we’re celebrating by giving away $1,000 per day to developers who create content around Astra DB and/or Langflow during the holiday season.
How to enter
Entering our giveaway is easy.
Create content (a blog post, a video, or a software project on GitHub – see terms and conditions below for details) that features Astra DB and/or Langflow. Content must be human-created and not AI-generated, and posted on one or more of the following sites:
- YouTube for videos
- GitHub for code
- For written content - dev.to, Medium, Reddit, Hashnode, or HackerNews
You can post content on a personal blog too, but it must be crossposted on at least one of the above channels. Then, share it with us on social media by mentioning our handle (@datastaxdevs) along with the hashtag #12DaysOfCodemas—and don’t forget to include a link to your content. We’ll count entries specifically and exclusively posted on 𝕏.
That’s it! The date of your social post counts as the date of your submission. From there, you will enter a raffle to win $1,000 for your submission. If you win:
- You’ll get $1,000.
- We’ll share your winning piece on our social media accounts.
- A member of our team will contact you with next steps.
Content suggestions
If you need inspiration about what content to create, here are some things we’d love to see exist in the world:
- AI agents that accomplish tasks and solve a specific problem using Langflow
- Content that highlights how Astra DB stacks up against similar vector databases, specifically for AI use cases like RAG (retrieval-augmented generation)
- Content about how to perform effective RAG with knowledge graphs
- We’d prefer content around topics that are more than just basic chat bots.
Happy building!
