Developed and delivered the Bigtable Deletion Protection feature in the googleapis/java-bigtable repository, focusing on enhancing data safety and compliance for enterprise users. The work involved designing and implementing a new deletionProtection flag within table creation and update requests, as well as updating the Table model to accurately reflect protection status. By evolving the API surface and underlying data model, the changes help prevent accidental data loss and support policy-driven table management. The project required expertise in API development, Java, and Google Cloud Bigtable, with careful attention to aligning technical solutions with governance and operational requirements for cloud-based data management.
