CockroachDB Engineering Manager Jordan Lewis shows you how to get started contributing open-source patches to CockroachDB. He takes a look, from start to finish, at what it takes to add some simple new functionality to the database. For this video, he adds the INITCAP built-in, and then plays with leetspeak().
Expect to learn:
- How to check out the CockroachDB source code for the first time
- How to compile CockroachDB from scratch
- How to add a built-in function to the database
- How to add tests for your function
- And how to submit a pull request for review
