Find Apache Hudi Developer Leads on GitHub

Who Are Apache Hudi Developers?

Apache Hudi developers build incremental data pipelines on data lakehouses, often at companies running large-scale Spark + S3/HDFS + Hive/Presto workloads. They star apache/hudi, open issues about "MOR vs COW tables", "Hudi compaction", "schema evolution", "bootstrap ingestion", and "Deltastreamer". They work alongside Apache Iceberg and Delta Lake teams. These are data engineers, data platform engineers, and analytics engineers at mid-market and enterprise companies evaluating lakehouse platforms — and they have budget for lakehouse management, data quality, orchestration, and observability tooling.
