Launching the HighLoad.Fun Auth Server Competition

Hello!

I'm excited to announce the launch of the HighLoad.Fun Auth Server Competition, a challenge I've created for developers interested in building high-performance HTTP servers. This competition is designed to test your skills in creating efficient, scalable server solutions under tight resource constraints.

About the Competition:

Participants will develop an HTTP server following a detailed OpenAPI specification. The server should efficiently manage user data and handle authentication using JWT tokens, all within a Docker environment provisioned with just 2 CPU cores and 2GB RAM.

Key Details:

Objective: Build a high-performance HTTP server for user management and authentication.

Environment: Each server will run in a Docker container with specified resource limits.

Dates: From May 1, 00:00 GMT to May 30, 23:59 GMT, with several rounds to iterate and optimize your solutions.

API Features to Implement:

- User authentication and token generation.

- User data management (CRUD operations).

- IP and user blacklisting capabilities.

Why Participate?

- Enhance your server optimization and management skills.

- Gain a digital certificate and potentially win exclusive HighLoad.Fun merchandise.

- Be part of a growing community of software optimization enthusiasts.

How to Join:

Simply register on HighLoad.Fun and access the competition details and OpenAPI spec. Whether you're a seasoned backend developer or a student passionate about system optimization, this competition is an excellent opportunity to showcase your abilities.

I've built this competition as a non-commercial, self-funded initiative to foster a community where like-minded enthusiasts can push the boundaries of what's possible with software optimization.
