Sam Whyte contributed to the nhsconnect/national-document-repository-infrastructure by engineering infrastructure changes that improved automation, migration reliability, and operational simplicity. Over three months, Sam decommissioned the virus scanning module to streamline the Infrastructure as Code surface, automated CloudWatch dashboard cleanup to reduce manual maintenance, and migrated ECS data task triggers to a scheduler-based approach for better scalability. He also implemented segmentation infrastructure for DynamoDB migration, provisioning dedicated S3 storage and configuring Lambda with IAM roles for controlled data processing. Using Terraform, Shell scripting, and AWS services, Sam delivered focused, maintainable solutions that reduced complexity and enhanced the repository’s long-term reliability.

October 2025 monthly summary for nhsconnect/national-document-repository-infrastructure: Focused on enabling controlled DynamoDB migration through segmentation infrastructure. Delivered a dedicated S3 bucket for migration segments and configured a Lambda with IAM roles and environment variables to enable segmented processing during migration. The work lays the groundwork for incremental migration with improved reliability and traceability.
