If you missed our recent Automation 101 session for the Veeam Community Hackathon, the recording is now available.

In this session, we focused on one of the most important foundations for hackathon success: building with confidence. When you’re working in a fast-paced environment with multiple contributors and limited time, Continuous Integration (CI) and testing can make a huge difference in keeping your project stable and your team productive.

We walked through:

  • Why CI matters in hackathon projects
  • Setting up a simple and effective team workflow with source control
  • Building a basic pipeline with GitHub Actions
  • Writing simple tests using Pester and pytest
  • Common pitfalls we see during hackathons and how to avoid them

Whether you're participating in this year’s Veeam Community Hackathon or just want to improve your automation workflow, this session should give you a solid starting point.

Feel free to share how your team approaches CI and testing during hackathons, or any tools and workflows that have worked well for you.
