Jitender Kaushik developed core data engineering and automation features for the LCIT-AIP-W25/StickGen repository over a three-month period. He established a scalable Express.js API server with CORS and Elasticsearch integration to support news trend analytics, then enhanced reliability by improving error handling and enabling Kibana dashboard access. Jitender automated CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and Docker Compose, streamlining deployment and testing for both API and Kafka-based data pipeline components. He also introduced comprehensive unit tests in Python to verify Kafka producer functionality. The work demonstrated depth in backend architecture, automation, and observability, laying a robust foundation for future data-driven features.

April 2025 monthly summary for LCIT-AIP-W25/StickGen: Implemented Data Pipeline CI/CD Automation to stabilize and accelerate data pipeline deployments. Established Jenkins-based testing for producer/consumer components, added Dockerfiles for producer/consumer, and created a Jenkinsfile for end-to-end CI/CD, plus ELK stack integration configurations. Introduced comprehensive unit tests for Kafka producer instantiation and message sending to increase reliability and catch issues early. This work lays the foundation for automated testing and deployment of the data pipeline, reducing manual steps and enabling faster, safer releases.
