How to know Apache SeaTunnel

In 2022, the department was planning to upgrade the data integration products. I took the opportunity to research Apache SeaTunnel. At that time, the community was decoupling the connector and the engine, so I got involved.

I have not been involved in open source for a long time, and Apache SeaTunnel is the first project I participated in. Before that, I did research on similar products and compared FlinkX and Apache SeaTunnel. And I found that Apache SeaTunnel is not coupled to the engine, which is very advantageous. In addition, the latest version added its own engine, which is more advantageous to use as a lightweight integration platform. Maybe one day our company will introduce Apache SeaTunnel. These are the advantages of Apache SeaTunnel.

In short, the design of Apache SeaTunnel is novel, especially the excellent decoupling design of the connector and the engine, which attracts me to participate and contribute.

Words to the community

I am very grateful to the community for recognizing me! I would also like to thank you all in the community for your help and advice. The community encourages anyone to put forward their ideas and take action to get a result. We look forward to more people joining the Apache SeaTunnel community to prosper the development of the community and expand the Apache SeaTunnel ecology.
