August 2025 – Key deliverables for ministryofjustice/laa-data-claims-api: implemented foundational DB schema and API enhancements that improve data integrity, deploy stability, and data access for bulk/claim workflows. Key features delivered: - Flyway-based initial database schema for the Claims API, adding tables: bulk_submission, submission, claim, client, claim_case, claim_summary_fee, validation_error_log, calculated_fee_detail, matter_start; updated Docker Compose and application configuration to use the new database name and credentials. - Deployment/pipeline fix: re-added the claims table to the integration-test suite to ensure tests pass, with a plan to remove it after the related API endpoint is deprecated. - Bulk submissions and claim submissions API enhancements: added GET /bulk-submissions/{id} with updated OpenAPI data model; introduced a new search endpoint for claim submissions supporting filters by office codes, submission ID, and submission dates; refactored individual submission details to move attributes to the top level. Impact and outcomes: - Improved data integrity and test reliability through a structured schema and stable deployment tests. - Faster, more flexible access to bulk and claim data via new endpoints and a consistent API model. - Better alignment with business workflows through office-based filtering and clearer API surface. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Flyway migrations for schema management, Docker Compose configuration, and CI/CD deployment adjustments. - REST API design enhancements and OpenAPI specification updates. - Refactoring to improve API surface and data model clarity.
