Thriving Developer Ecosystem - Alibaba Cloud's First Data Insight Innovation Challenge Officially Launched

With the IT infrastructure, massive and complex big data must rely on the distributed architecture of cloud computing, complementing each other. The increasing cloudification penetration rate will support the further acceleration of big data.

Based on this, the first Data Insight Innovation Challenge has officially launched! This competition has a prize pool of up to 200,000 yuan and is a technical competition hosted by Alibaba Cloud for developers. The competition will be held on the Alibaba Cloud Tianchi platform, aiming to encourage developers to use Alibaba Cloud storage products and services, develop innovative applications and solutions through the "Intelligent Operations Challenge" and "Data Management Innovation Challenge" tracks, demonstrate their technical strength and creative thinking, and contribute to the development of the industry and social progress.

As a new product form derived from the extension and development of cloud computing-related technologies, cloud storage is an important part of modern IT infrastructure. In 2008, to explore solutions for large-scale storage, the Alibaba Cloud Storage team was established. After completing the fundamental storage services focused on elastic expansion, flexible efficiency, and cost reduction, Alibaba Cloud is helping more and more customers achieve digital and intelligent data management. To provide more inclusive cloud storage services, Alibaba Cloud has launched a new product type called "Reserved Capacity," and also launched a free trial of the entire product line, aiming to help more college students, developers, and small and medium-sized enterprises quickly move to the cloud.

Schedule Arrangements

Award Settings

Track 1: Intelligent Operations Challenge

Currently, IT systems are gradually shifting from monolithic architecture to distributed, microservices, and cloud-native. Microservices architecture is increasingly valued in business development. In a typical microservices scenario, a complete business request is often carried by applications distributed across multiple nodes, and in some complex business scenarios, it may involve calls to dozens of microservices.

When business requests online slow down or fail, engineers often need to find the key nodes and reasons among the calling nodes and eliminate them. The scale of microservices makes the entire localization process complex, and relying on experience and manual methods to locate issues becomes inadequate in terms of accuracy and timeliness.

Logs, Traces, and Metrics are the three pillars of observability data, which can basically meet various analysis and troubleshooting needs. This competition aims to explore an automated fault localization method that can analyze the massive microservices system observability data (Metrics, Trace) provided by Alibaba Cloud to diagnose high-latency business requests and find the root cause (Root Cause).

Track 2: Data Management Innovation Challenge

Represented by AIGC, new technological paradigms are continuously enriching the data management capability matrix, including twin, editing, and creation as the three core capabilities. All scenarios are actively embracing this change. This competition aims to rely on the product and technical capabilities of the cloud disk and album service PDS, through API, SDK, and other interface protocols, to explore how to improve the efficiency of personal and enterprise data storage management and content collaboration through technological and application scenario innovation, and continuously release data productivity.
