May 2025 focused on observability, data quality, and dataset discovery for obsrv-api-service. Implemented instrumentation improvements to ensure dataset IDs are available for both data ingestion and data out paths, and enhanced request validation and Prometheus helpers to preserve dataset context on errors. Improved user experience and performance: email notifications now disable the resolve message by default; dataset listing gains connector-based filtering, live/draft enrichment, and tighter queries targeting relevant Druid types. Introduced and clarified filter controls: dataset_filter_config.filter_limit defaulting to 10 and renamed for clarity to status_filter_limit. These changes reduce incident response time, improve data labeling accuracy, and optimize data retrieval workloads.

March 2025 monthly summary: Implemented RBAC-driven access control improvements for the dataset read API, tightened access checks when RBAC is disabled, and granted create-draft access to dataset creators. Exposed download URLs in the connector registry API to streamline registry download flows. Defined telemetry data paths for exhaust APIs and dataset API environments, with RBAC disabled by default for dataset APIs. Moved system rules ingestor service to the API service and adjusted RBAC flags, including a rollback to preserve prior behavior where needed. Strengthened alert lifecycle and registry resilience with fixes ensuring alerts are created before publish, published after dataset publish, and improved config/env management. Added job queue schema enhancements for data replay jobs with a CHECK constraint. Overall, these changes enhance security, observability, data flow controls, and reliability across obsrv-api-service and obsrv-automation.
