I've been to a lot of hackathons, but I've never used the cloud in any of my projects. Why?

How can I use it in my hackathon project? What types of projects can I create with cloud technology? What free resources are available to help me get started? What if I get stuck? Use the skills you learn in this workshop at one of TechTogether's upcoming hackathons. This workshop is co-hosted with Microsoft, TechTogether's official Cloud Partner of our 2021-2022 hackathon season.
