January 2025 monthly summary: Delivered a focused set of infrastructure and UI improvements across two repositories, targeting performance, reliability, data access, and accessibility. Key features delivered: - ODS Update Performance and Reliability Enhancement (nhsconnect/national-document-repository-infrastructure): increase CPU/memory for the ODS update ECS task and disable the weekly update schedule to improve reliability (commit 01756ac1bad2fd665b84e391fa3ff74368807625). - Search Lambda Access to Lloyd George Bucket (nhsconnect/national-document-repository-infrastructure): grant S3 read permissions for the Lloyd George bucket to the search document references Lambda; add a policy to enable access (commit 779f2408fbdd19893a19862c9897e138a0932f40). - Lloyd George Record Download - File Size Display (nhsconnect/national-document-repository): display file size information on the LG record download screen, including API response with file size, UI rendering, and tests (commit d5d44069abc12ba81d4302fd425a1fc612dffd09). - Privacy Page - Improve Heading Semantics (H1 to H2) (nhsconnect/national-document-repository): update headings for accessibility/SEO while preserving content (commit f6b1733e2d12e8bc83879a3164321a316f366043). Overall impact and accomplishments: These changes improve system reliability for data updates, reduce latency by enabling proper data access for search, enhance end-user UX for record downloads, and strengthen accessibility and SEO practices. The work demonstrates strong capabilities in cloud infrastructure optimization (ECS), IAM/policy management, front-end UX, testing coverage, and accessibility compliance. Technologies/skills demonstrated: AWS ECS tuning, task scheduling, IAM policy updates, Lambda permissions, S3 access control, front-end UI changes, test authoring and coverage, and accessibility/SEO best practices.
