Hello Debezium Community!

I am Alvar Viana and exactly one month ago I joined Red Hat and the Debezium team. I am a software engineer with almost 10 years of professional experience. In my career, I have always worked for product companies/projects. Started as backend/embedded developer for a company that was acquired ABB. A few years later I changed my life, cities, jobs and roles. Since then, I worked at adidas and Sysdig as a Quality Engineer. As of today, I am happily joining Red Hat and Debezium.

I’ve had limited contact with Red Hat, although since I was a child, I have admired the company; since half a year ago, I have been in different selection processes. I have previously worked with Debezium to create a PoC to keep two databases synchronized. Unfortunately, that effort never moved beyond a poC, but that experience and knowledge will now be useful.

So, here I am! Willing to learn as much as possible about Kafka, Kafka Connect, multiple databases and, especially, about Debezium. Over time, I hope to be able to do my bit and improve the quality with which we deliver Debezium: increase the quality, improve the process, reduce building and testing time, etc.

Really nice to meet you and to be able to help. Alvar.

About Debezium

Debezium is an open source distributed platform that turns your existing databases into event streams, so applications can see and respond almost instantly to each committed row-level change in the databases. Debezium is built on top of Kafka and provides Kafka Connect compatible connectors that monitor specific database management systems. Debezium records the history of data changes in Kafka logs, so your application can be stopped and restarted at any time and can easily consume all of the events it missed while it was not running, ensuring that all events are processed correctly and completely. Debezium is open source under the Apache License, Version 2.0.
