Month: 2025-05 Overview: In May, the Geti platform delivered notable improvements in build reliability, end-to-end test coverage, GPU training security posture, and CI efficiency. These efforts reduce release risk, accelerate validation, and support scalable, secure model workflows across internal libraries and services. Key features delivered: - Dependency locking and pre-commit reliability: Introduced uv-based dependency locking for internal libraries, fixed pre-commit hook configuration, added uv.lock files for grpc_interfaces and interactive_ai/data_migration, and aligned libs/media_utils with the new locking mechanism, improving reproducible builds and developer experience. (Commit: 37be47c30ecd053c80a68e40a8b224d583bab672) - Geti Platform End-to-End Testing (BDD) Suite and CI Workflow: Implemented a comprehensive E2E/BDD suite (covering media annotation, dataset import/export, project management, model training, optimization, predictions) and introduced a GitHub Actions workflow for BDD checks; integrated static code analysis into the e2e Makefile for release-aligned validation. (Commits: 9970916045786ab16fdf3eab39dab84490d08dd4; c2d79d3ebdcc7ade53bff487bd96e32fd89d8362) - Intel GPU Training Security Context: Added capability to pass security context for Intel GPU-based training jobs, configured pod security context and render_gid in the trainer image to improve security and correct execution. (Commit: 594685458ced4eb36e11f25f756b84ac69854986) - Dockerfile Dependency Version Wildcards: Updated Dockerfiles across services to use wildcard versions for libgl and libglib2.0, boosting build stability and patch-version flexibility. (Commit: cd15fe138c396ab79746f815ff5ce8efbbd79256) Major bugs fixed: - Pre-commit CUDA-less Systems Fix: Fixed pre-commit failures on systems without CUDA bindings by conditionally skipping cuda-bindings installation during virtualenv creation, ensuring pre-commit succeeds across environments. (Commit: 9464a0e36f5bd885f7e68014fb0f4cfdbf8c73b1) - Proxy Configuration Revert: Reverted a change that added proxy awareness to build scripts; removed explicit proxy build args and env vars to restore previous build environment behavior. (Commit: 9282f21ea30c3d9a5bb9888493346dd6530ed476) Overall impact and accomplishments: - Build reliability and determinism: Dependency locking and pre-commit hardening reduced environment-related failures and enabled reproducible local and CI builds, accelerating onboarding and reducing time-to-ship. - Quality and confidence in releases: The E2E/BDD suite with CI workflow provides end-to-end validation and static analysis, enabling safer releases and faster feedback to teams. - Secure and scalable GPU workflows: Security context for Intel GPU training reduces risk and ensures correct execution in GPU-backed workloads. - Build stability and consistency: Dockerfile wildcard versions and environment fixes contribute to more stable and predictable container builds across services. Technologies and skills demonstrated: - Dependency management and pre-commit tooling (uv, pre-commit hooks) - End-to-end testing, BDD, and CI via GitHub Actions - Static analysis integration into release validation pipelines - Kubernetes security contexts and container image hardening for GPU workloads - Dockerfile best practices and build stability improvements

April 2025 monthly summary for open-edge-platform/geti: Delivered a reliability improvement for video handling in the dataset pipeline. Fixed missing videos during dataset import by ensuring ffmpeg is installed with the correct version in the Dockerfile and eliminated an unnecessary video_root initialization in the export task. These changes reduce import/export failures, improve data integrity, and stabilize end-to-end video workflows across the platform.
