Sink and source connectors are important for getting data in and out of Apache Kafka®. Tim Berglund invites Hans-Peter Grahsl (Technical Trainer and Software Engineer, Netconomy Software & Consulting GmbH) to share about his involvement in the Apache Kafka project, spanning from several conference contributions all the way to his open source community sink connector for MongoDB, now part of the official MongoDB Kafka connector code base. 

Join us in this episode to learn what it’s like to be the only maintainer of a side project that’s been deployed into production by several companies!
