Worked on the openfga/helm-charts repository to enhance deployment flexibility by introducing a configurable API request timeout for OpenFGA. Implemented a new Helm value, OPENFGA_REQUEST_TIMEOUT, within the values.yaml and deployment configuration, allowing users to adjust timeout settings for API calls based on their environment’s latency requirements. This feature was developed using YAML and Helm, applying configuration management and DevOps best practices to improve reliability and operability. The approach ensured that deployments could be tuned for diverse infrastructure scenarios, and clear documentation was provided to guide users in leveraging the new configuration option for more robust OpenFGA deployments.
