Become a sponsor to Andy Coates

I'm a data-streaming engineer / architect based near London.
Having previously been payed to work on open source projects such as Apache Kafka and Ksqldb, I'm not contributing to open source as a day job.

My main focus is on two open source projects I'm involved with, both of which are currently at the early stages:

  • Creek: An opinionated framework for quickly developing, debugging and testing containerised microservices on top of Kafka.
  • Spec Mesh: Specification Driven Data Mesh on top of Kafka.

However, I'm also passionate about open-source and will dip into to fix issues in other common open source projects.

I would appreciate your support — especially if my projects are helping you make money — to make sure that it remains viable for me to spend time enhancing & maintaining them.

I've kept the sponsorship tiers simple and low, though please feel free to sponsor me more!

If you require specific support, e.g. , bug fix or enhancement, consulting, etc, then please get in touch through an issue or discussion on one of my projects to discuss requirements, as the specifics matter!

Stop sponsoring anytime

I understand your situation can change. You can stop sponsoring me anytime, guilt free, no questions asked.
I appreciate your sponsorship, but please take care of yourself too.
