In March 2025, delivered key infrastructure improvements to the RavenDB test and startup workflow by refactoring port reservation and socket management to occur before server initialization. Centralized handling of reserved sockets for testing, introduced unbinding of sockets to free ports and enable reuse, and enhanced the test infrastructure to explicitly reserve/manage sockets and clean up after server simulation. These changes reduce test flakiness, speed up startup, and provide a robust foundation for future test scenarios.
