G'day everyone, I'm Jonathan a PM at TriggerMesh (an open-source alternative to Amazon EventBridge). We have quite a lot of users that use TriggerMesh as part of their internal developer platforms. A DevOps-type role will capture events from sources like AWS/Azure/GCP services, or Kafka, or SaaS, and make it easy for internal developers to consume them with containers / functions / etc... Here is e.g. a recent example with ManoMano. Thats why I'm curious to join this community and hear about what you're all up to. Pleased to meet you and Happy Tuesday ✌️.
