More Than Just a Coding Competition
The Veeam Community Hackathon brings together people from across the backup, cloud, virtualization, automation, and security communities to collaborate on real ideas and real projects. Participants work together in teams to build integrations, dashboards, automation tools, AI assistants, monitoring platforms, APIs, extensions, reporting solutions, security-focused projects, and even home lab or experimental concepts. There are no restrictions on the technology stack, allowing teams to use the tools and platforms they know best to bring their ideas to life.
You Don’t Need to Be a Full-Time Developer
Some of the best hackathon ideas come from backup admins, architects, MSP engineers, and people solving real-world operational problems every day.

Real Projects. Real Ideas. Real Innovation.
Every year, participants build creative tools, dashboards, integrations, automations, and experimental projects inspired by real operational challenges across the Veeam ecosystem.
From Home Assistant integrations and Grafana dashboards to AI copilots, automation workflows, reporting platforms, and MSP tooling, the hackathon is all about turning ideas into reality.
Built by the Community
The Veeam Community Hackathon is driven by collaboration, creativity, and a shared passion for building better tools and experiences for the ecosystem.
Whether you’re joining to learn, network, experiment, or compete, you’ll be building alongside people who care deeply about technology, automation, resilience, and innovation.
From the beginning, our collaboration was open and goal-oriented. What stood out to me the most was the great sense of community and the opportunity to expand my professional network. After a few intense days full of learning, creativity, and fun, we reached the highlight: our project was selected as the winner! It was an incredible journey, and one thing is clear: this won’t be my last hackathon. I’ll have to join again!
This was, in fact, the case, and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience as a Team Leader. One of the biggest benefits was that the hackathon mirrored a similar situation in real life, when people with different skillsets come together to solve a problem or create a project.
Now that I have my first hackathon under my belt, I am very much looking forward to the next one since the experience that I gained will undoubtedly help me do even better next time!
