Database contributors

Which countries & regions led the database contributions in 2021?

The map below shows the geographic distribution of developers who pushed commits, resolved issues, or submitted pull requests to open source databases in 2021. The larger and darker the color spots on this map, the more database contributors were distributed. 截屏2022-06-20 16.29.50.png

When did developers contribute?

The heat map below describes the number of push events that occur at a particular point of time (UTC). For each day and hour, the colored boxes indicate the number of push events. The lighter the color, the fewer push events; the darker the color, the more push events. You can learn from this heat map what time is the busiest for contributors, and roughly conclude which country or region distributes the most contributors. 截屏2022-06-20 16.32.16.png
