Introduction

Modern developers spend too much time managing infrastructure instead of building products.

Zero to Query was created to change that.

Powered by LingoQL and Sub0, this hackathon challenges builders to create production-ready applications with minimal deployment friction. From APIs and automation systems to SaaS products and real-time platforms, participants will experience a faster path from idea to live product.

This event is designed not just for experimentation, but for launching the next generation of scalable startups and developer tools.

Inspiration

The best products are not just ideas — they are deployed, usable, and solving real problems.

Zero to Query is inspired by the growing community of African developers, indie hackers, and startup founders building globally competitive products despite infrastructure and deployment challenges.

We believe builders should spend less time configuring servers and more time creating impactful solutions.

This hackathon is about:

  • Turning ideas into production-ready products
  • Empowering founders with deployment infrastructure
  • Encouraging innovation with real business potential
  • Building the next generation of scalable African technology startups

From zero to production — build something people will actually use.
