This project provided an excellent opportunity for our team—myself, Zihan, and Mu—to work collaboratively on a microservices-based solution for Kafka and Spark stream processing. We focused on maintaining open communication, shared responsibilities, and mutual respect, resulting in a smooth and productive collaboration.
I spearheaded the CI/CD pipeline implementation using GitHub Actions, automating critical processes like testing and deployment to improve efficiency. Additionally, I created a detailed README.md file to guide users on project functionalities, dependencies, and setup while highlighting our use of AI pair programming tools to enhance collaboration.
