Hi all, I am excited to announce that A. Sophie Blee-Goldman has accepted her invitation to become an Apache Kafka committer.
Sophie is actively contributing to Kafka since Feb 2019 and has accumulated 140 commits. She authored 4 KIPs in the lead - KIP-453: Add close() method to RocksDBConfigSetter - KIP-445: In-memory Session Store - KIP-428: Add in-memory window store - KIP-613: Add end-to-end latency metrics to Streams and helped to implement two critical KIPs, 429 (incremental rebalancing) and 441 (smooth auto-scaling; not just implementation but also design). In addition, she participates in basically every Kafka Streams related KIP discussion, reviewed 142 PRs, and is active on the user mailing list. Thanks for all the contributions, Sophie! Please join me to congratulate her! -Matthias
