🔊 Databricks Asia Pacific proudly presents: Databricks AppQuest, live on AngelHack platform!

A five-quest program that takes developers across APAC from zero to a fully deployed AI app, with a US$10,000 prize pool and hands-on guidance from the Databricks team.

The premise is simple: The fastest way to learn a platform is to ship something on it. 5 quests that take you from setting up your environment, scaffolding an app, deploying it with AppKit, wiring up Lakebase for storage, then extending it into a working AI app with a RAG assistant.

Complete all 5 quests to earn US$20, plus an AppQuest Graduate badge to add to your Linkedin & resume. On top of it, secure a US$750 Databricks training voucher by customising your Quest 5 app.

No prior Databricks experience required. All 5 quests are now open to join until December 31, 2026.
