The time is now! We are pleased to announce the winners of the Netlify Dynamic Site Challenge.

From e-commerce sites to collaborative writing platforms, our DEV team of judges were impressed by the quality of submissions we received. The entries in this challenge were beautiful and incredibly well-developed. The user experiences delivered can only be achieved with dynamic caching, and these were incredible demonstrations. The experience provided in these apps is especially prescient in areas which are often under-served on the basis of network latency.

Regardless of whether or not you’ve won the challenge, we hope that all participants are walking away with a new skill and mastery in Netlify’s Platform Primitives as a gift in and of itself. Now, without further ado..

Congratulations To…

This app created by @srikant_code uses blob storage to help achieve an impressive user experience backed by complex logic.

Like others, this demonstrates all of the prompts, but stands out for its demonstration of what can be achieved with blob storage to read and write data.

Clever Caching

@bytrangle created an educational and delightful demonstration of caching logic.
