Hack This Fall 2025: Strengthening our global developer community

Vultr was the title sponsor for the recent Hack This Fall 2025, a monthlong hackathon where we connected with our vibrant developer community and supported them with reliable, scalable cloud infrastructure.

The hackathon ran throughout the month of November and was hosted virtually and globally, with five in-person events across India for standout applicants to gain a collaborative and hands-on building experience. Hack This Fall had more than 40 onsite developers per city and more than 2,000 builders globally from more than 65 cities worldwide.

Our composable, global cloud infrastructure is powerful because of the builders who innovate on it. Hack This Fall tied our commitment to accessible infrastructure with our continuous, ongoing effort to strengthen that global community.

“We truly believe in uplifting the builders' journey,” said Hack This Fall organizer Siddharth Dayalwal. “Collaborating with Vultr positively empowered us, as we were able to bring in just the right resources and opportunities to our community. It has been an incredible and smooth experience with the Vultr team in delivering the kind of experience Hack This Fall is known for.”

Hack This Fall produced 129 projects, with builders finding that Vultr infrastructure was extremely simple to operate, and that hosting on Vultr’s composable cloud platform was much easier than on other providers.

AI for emergency response, deep research, and personal call centers

Here are just a few of the most eye-opening projects, built on Vultr infrastructure, that came out of the event.

RudraOne is a solution to India’s 1-1-2 emergency response system, which faces operational bottlenecks due to overwhelming call volumes. RudraOne uses AI to ingest, process, and act on real-time data, detecting and neutralizing emergencies in real-time.

Instead of disconnected systems, language barriers, error-prone manual documentation, high cybersecurity risk, and more challenges to the existing emergency response system, RudraOne, with React, Node.js, Mapbox, Python, PostgreSQL, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS, deployed on Vultr, enables a more integrated and intelligent system with faster response times.

Nir Deep Researcher is an alternative to existing Deep Research tools created by big tech companies, which are closed and non-customizable, with no control over depth, flow, or methodology. Additionally, they’re not available as APIs.

Nir Deep Researcher gives users control over research depth, strategy, and orchestration, while making it available as an API. The team used HTML, React, Node.js, CSS, JavaScript, Python, FastAPI, and more, deploying on Vultr infrastructure, to enable flagship-level research capabilities.

RingoAI is an AI-powered system that enables autonomous agents to make phone calls on behalf of users. It’s an agentic call center accessed directly from a user’s browser, applicable for lead generation, feedback collection, automated outbound calling, and more.

RingoAI uses Next.js, PostgreSQL, Twilio, Tailwind CSS, and Deepgram, deploying its AI agents on Vultr’s scalable infrastructure, saving enterprises time and operational cost via what the team calls “personal agentic call centers.”
