Congratulations to @裤衩儿飞上天 for becoming one of the moderators.

On May 31, 2022, he became a member of the TiDB community. Over the course of more than a year, he has helped them reply 745 times, initiated 10 topics to discuss community technical issues, and assisted 51 community users in solving technical problems!

You can see from his heatmap that since October 2022, it has been red to the point of black. Each red dot is a testament to his contributions to the community!

Here is some personal introduction from him:

I am Feng Lei. Over 90% of my career has been spent as a DBA, starting as a dedicated Oracle DBA and now a generalist DBA, working with MySQL, MongoDB, SQL Server, Redis, and TiDB. I’ve been doing this for over ten years. My first encounter with TiDB was around 2018, when I was researching it on my own. However, due to various reasons, I didn’t use it (mainly because TiDB had high hardware requirements at that time, which is often referred to as “expensive”). It wasn’t until 2019 that we started using it in production, but for various reasons, it wasn’t handed over to me. It wasn’t until last year that my leader asked me to take over, and I began systematic learning of TiDB. Learning theory alone is not enough; practical experience is essential for rapid improvement. So, I started to become active on the forum. At that time, I had enough time to read every question on the forum, even though I didn’t reply. This way, I could feel myself improving rapidly. After understanding some things, I began to try answering questions on the forum. Every time I could provide a solution to a fellow member, I felt a sense of pride from the bottom of my heart. I hope to use my knowledge to help more members in the future. After all, the community has helped me grow, and I want to give back to the community. Helping others is a joyful thing, and it also helps me improve by identifying and filling knowledge gaps. Why not do it?

During the user conference on July 13, 2023, I had a flash talk to give, and he volunteered to guard the booth!

Moderator Stories:

Since the trial run of the moderator project in June 2021, a group of enthusiastic TiDB community members has gradually devoted themselves to the construction of the TiDB community. They often take time out of their busy schedules to answer technical questions on the TiDB community Q&A platform, AskTUG. They have no KPIs but always step up when needed. We often see their collaborative efforts.

Some Rewards for Moderators

Communication Channels for Moderators and Active TiDB Community Members:
