Hi everyone,
My name is Zemin Gu, and I'm honored to recently become a ShenYu committer. Thanks to the community for the trust — I'm excited to be more involved. A few years ago I took over the maintenance of an in-house gateway. I could clearly feel it was heavyweight: slow to start up, a large memory footprint, and throughput that just wouldn't go higher. I felt these problems, but for a long time I didn't know how to actually fix them. That's when I came across ShenYu, and two things immediately gave me a direction: The admin/bootstrap split, which showed me how to decouple the control plane from the data plane. The non-blocking design throughout the core, which pointed to where the throughput bottleneck really was. These two ideas inspired me to go back and optimize our gateway for high concurrency. So in a sense, ShenYu gave me the answers to questions I'd been stuck on, long before I ever contributed a line back. I'd like to give special thanks to yyynzh and asia00 for the nomination and guidance, and to everyone who reviewed and supported along the way. Going forward I'd like to explore ShenYu's role as an AI gateway — how it can serve AI workloads and LLM-related scenarios. I'm looking forward to working with all of you on this. Thanks again, and nice to meet everyone! Best regards, Zemin Gu GitHub: eye-gu
