πŸš€ Open-source Contributions

Contributions across many projects β€’ Go β€’ Kubernetes β€’ Azure β€’ AI/ML

My day-to-day work involves open-source projects (databases, messaging systems etc.). In addition to teaching and advocating for these technologies, I contribute back in the form of features, documentation etc.

πŸ§ͺ Testcontainers module for DynamoDB Local

🐳 Developer Experience & Testing

Having a piece of infrastructure supported as a Testcontainers module provides a seamless, plug-and-play experience. The same applies to DynamoDB Local, and that’s where Testcontainers module for DynamoDB Local comes in!

✨ Key Benefits:

  • Easy local testing for Go-based DynamoDB applications
  • Docker-based integration
  • Zero-configuration setup

πŸ” AWS IAM authentication to secure Go apps

You can use this package to authenticate your Go apps to Amazon MemoryDB (and Amazon ElastiCache) for Redis using AWS IAM.

☁️ Dapr (CNCF)

Dapr is a portable, event-driven runtime that makes it easy for any developer to build resilient, stateless and stateful applications that run on the cloud and edge and embraces the diversity of languages and developer frameworks.

πŸ“Š Debezium

πŸ”„ Data Streaming & Change Data Capture

Implemented Azure Event Hubs plugin for Debezium Server that allows you to push stream database change events to Azure Event Hubs.

Debezium is a set of distributed services to capture changes in your databases so that your applications can see those changes and respond to them. In addition to this, Debezium also provides a ready-to-use application (Debezium Server) that streams change events from a source database to different messaging infrastructures.

⚑ Kubernetes Event-driven Autoscaling (KEDA) - a CNCF project

πŸ“ˆ Auto-scaling & Event-driven Architecture

KEDA is a Kubernetes-based Event Driven Autoscaler. With KEDA, you can drive the scaling of any container in Kubernetes based on the number of events needing to be processed.

πŸ”§ Scaler Improvements:
Made several additions and improvements to KEDA scalers including Kafka, Redis, Event Hubs and more.

🎯 Some other things I enjoyed working on
