Aug 1, 2025In August 2025, delivered a Kubernetes-based deployment for the CXS Documentation app (docs.contextsuite.com) in smartdataHQ/cxs, establishing end-to-end infra including deployment, service, ingress, secrets, and persistent storage. Performed ongoing image tag management and resource limit tuning to ensure a stable, scalable documentation experience. Resolved a persistent volume binding issue by explicitly enforcing the Longhorn storage class, eliminating unbound PVCs and pod scheduling errors in the CXS docs deployment. Implemented deployment automation through multiple commits labeled 'Deploy docs' and completed a fix for document creation, contributing to a more reliable and maintainable deployment workflow. This work improved documentation availability, reliability, and scalability, reducing maintenance overhead and enabling faster onboarding for new docs.
