Unlock innovation during Hackathons
Host hackathons with ease with our comprehensive solution to create and deliver cloud-based sandbox environments to multiple participants.Â
- USE CASE
Set up pre-configured lab environments with ease
Create hackathon labs in the region closest to participants for optimal performance, or use our multi-region event capability to reduce latency for geographically distributed participants.
- Give participants identical and isolated Virtual Machines using the best compute size for their needs. ·
- Choose from flexible options to provide participants access to their lab environment.
- Control cost by configuring schedules and quotas, automating the shut down and deletion of lab environments once the hackathon ends.
- Configure network firewalls to ensure a seamless connection to lab VMs.


Flexible event architectures for any scenario
Design hackathons with the perfect environment architecture to match your event goals. Heropa offers flexible event configurations that support a wide range of network topologies, enabling you to create engaging, dynamic experiences for participants.
- Isolated Environments: Each participant gets their own standalone, identical environment, perfect for hands-on challenges or independent projects.
- Existing Environments: Connect participants to shared resources like licensing servers, target servers for Capture the Flag, or project sites, while keeping individual environments secure and isolated.
- Shared Environments: Enable participants to collaborate or compete in interconnected environments where communication is key—ideal for game days or team-based activities.
- Flexible Network Topologies: Choose from hub-and-spoke, fully isolated, or interconnected designs to create the perfect event architecture.
