Hi all, my name is Asko Kauppi and I work as a technical Agility Coach at the Zalando Helsinki site we started in 2015.
I'm interested in persistent message buses in general, because I see them offering a new kind of way to do microservices. Instead of each service being responsible for its state we can now store the state "in between" and have stateless filters. I know Kafka, Akka Streams and RxJS rather well. DistributedLog to me looks like a simpler, maybe lighter Kafka - I'm not for the normal big data use cases but simply stream programming, in small and medium size range (MBs to maybe 1 GB). The documentation is something I'd like to help with - it also allows me to learn DistributedLog well I hope. Instead of starting to make PRs I'd like to discuss goals and tools first, with some people already looking into the documentation. I'm very keen on detail and optimizing text for the reading experience (good flow). During next week (week 51), we are running a Hackweek and I might try out DistributedLog on a Raspberry Pi cluster, if all goes well. - Asko Kauppi
