Over a three-month period, this developer enhanced the communitiesuk/eip-ero-ems-integration-api by building an SQS-based data removal workflow, modernizing the testing framework, and improving EMS integration reliability. They implemented a message listener and service logic in Kotlin and Spring Boot to automate application data cleanup, added resilient error handling, and improved logging for operational clarity. The developer replaced legacy Cucumber tests with integration tests, externalized test data for maintainability, and upgraded dependencies to stabilize CI. Additional work included refining the EMS data model, merging OpenAPI definitions, and correcting SQS routing issues, resulting in improved data governance and production readiness.
March 2025: Enhanced EMS Integration API and data model to improve reliability and observability, upgraded Spring Boot, merged OpenAPI definitions, and stabilized tests with LocalStack fixes. Fixed an SQS routing issue via environment variable naming corrections and added explicit typing for EMS_status when persisting data from SQS. These changes reduce integration fragility, improve data accuracy, and accelerate production readiness across the EMS integration stack.

Monthly summary for 2024-11: Delivered a new SQS-based data removal workflow for application integration data in the eip-ero-ems-integration-api, including a message listener, service logic to remove data for both postal and proxy applications, and an OpenAPI specification. Implemented resilient error handling for not-found applications and missing EMS status, and enhanced logging to reflect the processing context (postal vs proxy). This work improves data governance, enables automated cleanup, and strengthens observability and operational clarity.
