The PMC for Apache Kafka has invited Boyang Chen as a committer and we are pleased to announce that he has accepted!
Boyang has been active in the Kafka community more than two years ago. Since then he has presented his experience operating with Kafka Streams at Pinterest as well as several feature development including rebalance improvements (KIP-345) and exactly-once scalability improvements (KIP-447) in various Kafka Summit and Kafka Meetups. More recently he's also been participating in Kafka broker development including post-Zookeeper controller design (KIP-500). Besides all the code contributions, Boyang has also helped reviewing even more PRs and KIPs than his own. Thanks for all the contributions Boyang! And look forward to more collaborations with you on Apache Kafka. -- Guozhang, on behalf of the Apache Kafka PMC
