stay TiDB Hackathon 2021 In the competition ,Ti- Can be developed by the team immediately Ti-Click The project is online IDE The way , Fast build based on TiDB Of Example App A laboratory for the development and online compilation of , Can improve the user's TiDB Ecological initial experience . In addition, users can also try online, including TiDB Cloud A number of services including services , Reduce TiDB The complexity of Ecology .Ti-Click The project received the unanimous appreciation of the judges and the audience , And finally promoted to this Hackathon Of 20 strong .

“TiClick It's one of my favorite projects , I personally gave the highest score , It's not because Sai Passionate speech by students , Not because of the cool web Interface , But I saw TiDB How to better attract developers . For developers to learn TiDB, Later, I believe that high probability is a SaaS service , Developers can learn about... Directly through the browser TiDB. This project showed me the feasibility of landing , I also hope to land quickly . But I know , I still hope to be in TiDB Cloud The above supports Github SSO Sign in , Support open API, Become more developer friendly , Only in this way can we lay the foundation for the later ecological expansion .”

What prompted the three of you to form a team ？ All three of us are from users 、 Community and marketing colleagues . We think we can form a team except fate , Or because it's right TiDB The persistent faith of the community . Our team even has the first place in Japan TiDB Certified Instructor . We all agree that win-win TiDB The faith of the community is the power that brings us together .

“Ti- Can immediately ” The story of the team name We found that it's not just TiDB, Including a lot of Infra product （ Basic software ） It is difficult to reach consumers . In other words, just use documents to tell developers how to use the product , But did not understand the expectations of developers . In fact, as a developer, I'm looking forward to having a try . Although various manufacturers have launched free preferential policies for trial versions , But you know , have Infra Products with product attributes , In fact, it's hard for developers to get started . Finally, we have to face why we should try （Why）, Try what （What） and How to try （How） The dilemma of . We feel that instead of letting developers think about it , Why don't we help him think .

therefore Ti-Click From the very beginning TiDB and TiDB Cloud Two products , And with complete teaching guidance （Why）, At the same time, based on Java、Python、Golang、Nodejs、Django、PHP、Laravel、Springboot And other rich style cases of language or framework （What）, Just click in the browser , You can use the browser , Easily deploy a styled application in the cloud （How）.

Ti- Can immediately , Can be used immediately , Of course. Click Homophony of , We think it is very consistent with our product definition , It also conveys our philosophy .

International teams distributed in three time zones , How to face Hackathon Intense project preparation ？ Ti- Over the years, the team can act immediately Hackathon First, all the players are distributed in different countries 、 International teams in different time zones , There are great challenges in the division of labor among team members and project promotion .

In terms of division of labor , stay 12 month 22 After the establishment of the team on the th , Start developing . among Pheobe Because the main research document before 、 Training direction , So in Ti-Click Mainly responsible for project publicity and product positioning , This video also comes from our talented women . Mr. Du Zhigang is mainly responsible for PHP、Golang Products Example Develop and overcome difficult projects , For example, in this competition , We will Colopl Team developed Laravel This wonderful case of component import , It's Mr. Du's masterstroke . Cheng Chen is mainly responsible for the construction of the whole platform , as well as Java、SpringBoot、Node.js and Python、Django Of example Development .

On the overall promotion of the project , Because we all have many years of working experience , So after clarifying the division of labor , We are still very clear about pushing the project forward . We didn't set a timeline , But basically everyone took out the works at a reasonable time . And the degree of completion of the work is very high , Basically the final demo version . Team members even back-to-back , It will also regularly report the current development progress , Reassure your teammates , Everyone has a strong preference for the project they want to implement Owner The spirit of . So it's not so much about arranging projects to advance , Let's say we are an internally driven model .

About Team Work stay Hackathon Many times in preparation and in progress , When there is an emergency , We will all take the initiative to stand up , Pick up a heavy burden . For example, our team originally wanted to be led by Pheobe Explain online . But in the face of the request that the defense needs on-site explanation . Cheng Chen took the initiative to shoulder the heavy responsibility , Explain the project on site . During this time , We prepared trial lectures over and over again , Finally, we were lucky to qualify in the qualifier . After learning that you can play in the finals , We started to prepare for the semi-finals again . Cheng Chen went all out to prepare the final speech , Du Zhigang and Pheobe Then he worked all night to make the right Ti-Click Ecosystem The video of my explanation .

In addition to participating in the competition , We still need to deal with a lot of work at hand , You are basically 24 Hours without stopping . For example, partners in the Asia Pacific Region 1 The point is handed over to partners in North America , The partners in North America will be handed over to the partners in the Asia Pacific region in the afternoon of Asia Pacific time . This also casts “ Give my back to my teammates ” Team emotion .
