Hi, I noticed that a repository for the event journal sub project [0] was created and that a first draft of the API had been pushed. This is great news!
I would like to offer to contribute to this sub project but first, let me introduce myself to the Aries developer community. My name is Timothee Maret, I live in Switzerland and have worked for Adobe in Basel for nearly 9 years. I focus on the development and cloud deployment of Adobe Experience Manager. I am an Apache committer on the Sling project where I mostly contribute to Sling Content Distribution evolution. For the last 2 years I have led the design/implementation of a content replication mechanism able to support AEM scalability requirements in the cloud. The replication design follows the event sourcing pattern and is currently implemented on top of Apache Kafka. Kafka is a perfect fit for this design. However, as we may end up leveraging an alternative backend for non technical reasons, we intend to guarantee the design portability by leveraging the API/spec as soon as it is available. A second class of use cases for the API/spec in AEM would be every implementation involving components decoupled via events and requirements for processing guarantees. I am proposing to start contributing to this sub project by providing an implementation on top of Apache Kafka. If this contribution is welcomed by the Aries community, please let me know if I should start with filling a JIRA in the ARIES tracker or somewhere else!
