From hackathon to start-up
summary
Claims a hackathon prototype becomes a real business by shipping an IPFS pinning service called Pinata, describing the concrete stack and workflows used — JavaScript tooling, Docker containers, and Ethereum testing on the Goerli testnet — and the product milestones: migrating from prototype to deployed API, onboarding developers, and landing paying customers within months. Emphasis stays on engineering tradeoffs, operational costs, and how the prototype turned into a paying product.
