DigitalOcean App Platform Hackathon Winners, Announced!

In December, we announced a new challenge on DEV, in partnership with our friends at DigitalOcean: the App Platform Hackathon.
Our intrepid Hackathon participants were challenged to build brand new apps using DigitalOcean’s App Platform. DigitalOcean offered them credits in order to leverage their professional tool for free. Submissions were to be filed in one of four categories: Personal Site/Portfolio, Program for the People, Built for Business, and last but certainly not least, Random Roulette.
The process of picking just one grand prize winner for each category and 10 total runners-up was difficult, to say the least. But somehow, the judging panels at DEV and DigitalOcean managed to narrow in on some truly standout projects. We’re thrilled to share them with you today!
So, without further ado, let's meet the winners of the DigitalOcean App Platform Hackathon on DEV!
