TeamCity Plugin Contest 2019: And the Winners Are…

Yegor Naumov

The Contest is over and we want to say a huge Thank You to all the participants for making it a resounding success!

For the past couple of weeks, our judges and members of the TeamCity team have been hard at work trying out, testing, and rating plugins submitted to the Contest. Every submission was judged against four main criteria: usefulness, creativity, completeness, and code quality.

The finalists were really close, which made our judges’ task that much more challenging. After a lot of deliberation and discussion, the list of winners was determined at last:

First prize

Plugin: Deployment Dashboard

Award: $3,000 Amazon gift certificate

Judges’ comments: This entry implemented a creative idea with a delightful UI. There is definitely a demand for deployment reporting options in TeamCity.

Second prize
