Aug 1, 2025Month: 2025-08 | Tier4/ota-client delivered measurable improvements in observability, reliability, and maintainability, driving faster issue diagnosis, more reliable OTA updates, and leaner CI pipelines. Key initiatives included unifying logs to JSON, introducing per-request IDs for cross-ECU tracing, uptime monitoring, and resilient gRPC logging; adding CDN cache hit ratio metrics and enhancing OTA cache logic for CDN-detected hits; improving client update reliability with explicit error codes and a correct success state to skip redundant updates; and completing internal performance/CI optimizations such as filesystem tuning, reduced stat calls, ARM CI runner support, and removal of an unused debug flag. These changes collectively reduced OTA update failures, improved traceability across components, and accelerated CI/build cycles.

May 1, 2025May 2025 Highlights for tier4/ota-client: Delivered core improvements to logging, OTA telemetry, and release pipelines, with a focus on reliability, observability, and business value. Key changes include unified logging support for both HTTP and gRPC with a new gRPC endpoint and a factory-based transmitter selection refactor (plus tests). Introduced comprehensive OTA Update Metrics Telemetry to provide visibility into update stages, file counts, and download statistics for performance tracking and issue detection. Improved API Release CI/CD by isolating API release CI into its own workflow and adding a composite checksum action to streamline releases. Fixed a release process bug by ensuring the dist directory exists before artifact upload, preventing failures in the release pipeline.
