- The product has two main verticals, connections and integrations.
- Designed and owned initial integrations service, facilitating seamless connections between platforms.
- Designing the initial CI/CD pipelines.
- Designing the initial concepts to enable calculating diff between google sheets and sync from master file to branch files.
- The system supports auto syncing changes from master file to all the connections, like git rebase.
- Users can create such multiple connections, schedule connections, and every connection can be different. The concept is very similar to the GitHub Pull request model.
- For connections, it is like sharing only a selected part of your google sheet with a number of other people. And then merge their changes from connection to main file.
- Developed initial concepts for distributed locking, ensuring safe management of concurrent operations on shared files.
- Day to day development and feature delivery.
- Contributed to diverse tasks, including UI components, email notifications, login features, bug fixes, and performance optimizations.
- GitHub for google sheets
- Tech Stack: SpringBoot, PubSub, Google App Script, Kotlin, PostgreSQL, React, Google Cloud
