PROFILE
Matt Whelan
Worked on the cockroachdb/helm-charts repository, delivering features and fixes to enhance Kubernetes-based CockroachDB deployments. Developed Helm chart changes to enable GODEBUG configuration with default Transparent Huge Pages disabling, improving memory efficiency and maintainability. Implemented Visus CRDB Sidecar integration with pre-start ordering and restart-on-failure logic, as well as per-node Prometheus Services for direct metrics scraping, boosting observability and high availability. Addressed networking and configuration bugs by updating Visus to bind all interfaces and correcting TLS verification and configuration typos. Leveraged Go, Helm, and Kubernetes expertise to improve deployment reliability, performance tuning, and operational support for database clusters.

May 1, 2025Month: 2025-05 — Executed delivery of Visus CRDB Sidecar Integration and Per-Node Prometheus Service in cockroachdb/helm-charts. Implemented first-class Visus Sidecar support that starts before the database and restarts on failure to improve HA, plus a dedicated per-node Service enabling Prometheus to scrape metrics directly from each node. Commit reference: 577e7a5f02fbd72d7d52c3d9b78e198eed389dfe (Visus Sidecar config (#507)). No major bugs fixed this period; focus was feature delivery and reliability enhancements. Overall impact: enhanced observability, quicker incident triage, and improved HA for the cluster. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Kubernetes, Helm charts, Prometheus scraping, sidecar orchestration, per-node service wiring, and high-availability practices.
