2025-08 monthly summary for navikt/nada-markedsplassen focused on dependency health and stability. An upgrade of the River library to the latest versions was attempted to unlock new features and fixes, but issues introduced by the newer version necessitated an immediate rollback to restore stability. The rollback preserved release cadence and minimized customer impact. The work demonstrated disciplined risk management, effective change control, and readiness for a subsequent, more robust upgrade after addressing compatibility concerns.
