Abstract

Download the code ahead of time. DCO required.Join the contributors to Etcd, the most popular cloud-native database that backs Kubernetes. We'll be working on improving key features and testing for Etcd, and in the process we’ll teach those new to the project how to contribute. Etcd is a very useful, fun, and essential project, and welcomes both new contributors and those who want to “levelup”.Attendees should be familiar with programming in Go, using GitHub, and should bring a laptop on which they can do cloud-native development: either a Linux laptop, your own Github Devcontainer setup, or some equivalent.Etcd maintainers will organise work to improve reliability of Etcd. We will focus on improving etcd robustness testing and paying technical depth.This Contribfest session is designed to provide projects with the space and resources to tackle outstanding technical debt, security issues, or outstanding impactful feature requests. They are intended to provide a place for maintainers to meet contributors and potential contributors and work together on solving a problem.
