I began my open-source journey through WeMakeDevs’ Open Source Fest, where I contributed to https://github.com/kestra-io/plugin-kestra
, part of the Kestra ecosystem — an open-source orchestration platform that automates workflows.
My contribution focused on detecting stuck schedules, identifying situations where workflows didn’t run on time. I implemented the detection logic and added unit tests to verify it.

During testing, I faced a permission limitation while pulling the Kestra EE image, which prevented me from running the test locally. When I reached out, Loïc Mathieu from the Kestra team kindly clarified that this was a known restriction for external contributors. Despite that, he and the team provided helpful feedback and support throughout the process.
This experience taught me that open source is not just about writing code — it’s about collaboration, patience, and continuous learning.
It was a proud moment to see my code reviewed and appreciated by the community.
Grateful to WeMakeDevs for encouraging contributors like me and to the Kestra team for their guidance and kindness!
