Remember: all apps must use Jakarta EE / MicroProfile exclusively, and Payara Platform. Download latest versions of Payara Platform from Payara Platform Community Edition.
As Jakarta EE/MicroProfile is primarily a business application development platform, we ask you to build an application from one of the following application options:
Develop a School Management System app
Develop a Hospital Management System app
Develop a Mobile Money Wallet / Banking System app
Each contestant can make a single entry to any of the three areas.
As a pure Jakarta EE competition, the data and service layers must use Jakarta EE/MicroProfile exclusively. Contestants are free to either use Jakarta Faces for the UI or any JavaScript Framework. In this case, the service layer would be exposed as Jakarta REST resources to the client.
Contestants are NOT required to setup connections to external databases. The in-memory database provided by the Payara Platform through the default Jakarta EE datasource should suffice.
Submissions should be made via designated Payara Hackathon submission page by the 6th of March 23:59 GMT.
See below for more details.
1. School Management System
Contestants that opt into this category are free to develop any application that is generally usable within an educational context. As all schools, irrespective of the level, have the same core needs, the application should feature some, but not necessarily all of the following:

Personal Information
Assignments/Grades
Achievements
Extracurricular Activities
Attendance
Teacher Information
Class/Courses
Grade History
Fee Management
Admission Management
School Calendar/Activity Management
Library Management
Communication
Internal Communication
External Communication (SMS, Email)
The general idea is for the application to have a a fairly non-trivial use case for managing a typical school. From a technical perspective, an entry into this category should have:
A Data Layer
A Service Layer
A UI Layer
Database
2. Hospital Management System
Contestants that opt into this category are free to develop a typical hospital management system that can be used to automate as many hospital tasks as possible. As all hospitals have the same core needs, the application should feature some, but not necessarily all of the following:
