Hi Mingyang, A NUS alumni here :) Thanks for your interest in contributing to Airflow.
What I would suggest are (and I guess most folks would suggest similarly): - Read the documentation to get yourself started, including the Airflow's doc & the doc for Contributors (Contributor's Quick Guide <https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/CONTRIBUTORS_QUICK_START.rst>). These docs help you know the practices the community is adopting, and how you can make it easier for people to review your PRs. - Given the topic you are interested in is quite specific, as you have already pointed out, you have existing AWS and GCP providers as nice examples (Amazon Provider package <https://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow-providers-amazon/stable/index.html>, GCP Provider package <https://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow-providers-google/stable/index.html>). Source code, IMHO, is the best textbook/guide if you want to make code contributions. A "difficulty" I can foresee is: such providers are literally "wrappers" around the Cloud Service API. I'm not sure how many people are familiar enough with the Alibaba Cloud API. You will need to make a bit more effort to provide the correct resource (like documentation links) in your PRs, I believe.
