In India, remote data engineering roles can pay anywhere from ₹25 LPA to over ₹1 Crore for experienced developers. Here is how to get started and how to get job interviews 👇

Last year, we gave away more than ₹1 Crore in prizes through WeMakeDevs. The community has grown so much and your support has been amazing, so we wanted to do something even bigger.

You can join in by signing up for the "Back to the Metadata" hackathon. You will learn how to work with the OpenMetadata project and improve your data engineering skills. We have put plenty of resources on the website to help you get started, and you can participate alone or with a team.

👉 Register and learn more here: https://www.wemakedevs.org/hackathons/openmetadata

We are giving away several MacBooks, iPads, and tech merch next week and also top winners will get an interview opportunity at Collate.

Two days from now, thousands of developers will start building the future of data management.

Be one of them and participate in the Back to the Metadata hackathon, a free-to-join event where builders compete for $7,000 in prizes across 6 real-world data challenges powered by OpenMetadata.

Registration is still open, don't miss it: https://forms.gle/TLMVzLmDJgYeKsXr5

Stop overpaying for AWS/GCP! 🚩

Don't get locked into a 3-year plan you might not need. Archera gives you 3-year pricing with a 30-day exit strategy. They literally insure your cloud bill so you never pay for unused servers.

⏰ The clock is running, let’s make data actually usable! 📊

📋 Back to the Metadata hackathon checklist

1️⃣ Register for the hackathon till 26th April: https://forms.gle/2wq9hF8xxdzmSZPU9
2️⃣ Star the OpenMetadata repository on GitHub: https://github.com/open-metadata/OpenMetadata
3️⃣ Read the rules: https://www.wemakedevs.org/hackathons/openmetadata/rules
4️⃣ Go through the resources: https://www.wemakedevs.org/hackathons/openmetadata/resources

6️⃣ Share your participation on social media for a chance to win swag boxes 🎁

Make sure to complete every point and get ahead in the hackathon, let’s make data actually usable! 📊

47% of knowledge workers still can't find the data they need. The average employee now uses 11 apps, up from 6 in 2019. And AI is making weak metadata brutally expensive.

We just published a deep dive on why metadata is quietly becoming one of the most competitive layers in modern data infrastructure and announced Back to the Metadata, a 10-day hackathon built around it.

🎉 Fill Our Open Source Survey & Win an Apple iPad! 🎉

Something big is coming for the open source community, and we need your feedback!

Stand a chance to win a brand new Apple iPad worth ₹50,000 and help us build better open source programs, mentorship, and opportunities.

👉 Fill the survey: https://forms.gle/3EZNbXeGmPDzz4sz6

Winner will be selected at random and announced this Sunday!

DON’T MISS THIS

If you’re looking for a free tier to scale your AI demos that actually works, try this. I just indexed over 30,000 vectors for a new RAG project, and everything is running perfectly for FREE on Aiven 👀

You get:
- 4GB RAM
- 20GB SSD storage
- No credit card required
- No trial expiration
- Fully managed infrastructure

👉🚨 Spin up an instance here: https://fandf.co/4c83dsD

Most free plans cap you at 512MB, which is basically useless for real vector search or AI memory. This tier gives you the actual breathing room needed to build AI agents and production-grade prototypes without the constant "out of memory" errors.

Do you also want to be in the list of winners and win Apple iPad?

If yes, then fill a very short survey on open source and you can win a brand new iPad: https://forms.gle/SW6ntqF6ecYbGEGS8

Winner selected at random and will be announced this Sunday, don't miss this chance and fill the form NOW!!

I am not using Google Slides to make presentations anymore, USE GAMMA!

I just installed the Gamma app inside ChatGPT for free, and it basically turns the chats into incredible presentations I can actually share with friends or colleagues. 

🔥 You should definitely try turning your ChatGPT history into visual presentations, you’d be surprised by what it already knows about you: https://tinyurl.com/yup8hn2s

There is a concept you should know about called the Agentic Mesh.

Right now, using multiple AI tools means a lot of manual copying and pasting. An Agentic Mesh fixes this by letting your AI agents "talk" to each other directly.

🔥 Try the orchestration setup here: https://fandf.co/4dEurZf

Let me show you how you can search video and PDFs like a human.

In this video, I’m looking at how MongoDB is making the standalone vector database obsolete by keeping everything in one place: https://youtu.be/0E4anajoPvs

🔥👉 If you want to see how to architect this yourself, there’s a free Python AI series: https://fandf.co/4eD5a1P 

It covers how to move from a basic database setup to building more complex agents.

There’s a new term being coined right now called vibe training by the company Plurai, and they’ve basically built a way to catch hallucinations in sub-100ms and the cost is over 8x lower than GPT-5-mini.

🔥👉 They’re live on Product Hunt today: https://www.producthunt.com/products/plurai?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social

If you’re building agents, go check them out, grab the free trial, and show them some love on the launch!
