Month: 2025-10 Overview: Delivered a major enhancement to the Notification Event Configuration in harness-go-sdk, focusing on dynamic event data handling and multi-event-type support. Implemented a discriminated, JSON-based serialization/deserialization path and introduced a new DTO for exemption events. Key features delivered: - Notification Event Configuration DTO Enhancements: Refactored NotificationEventConfigDto to use json.RawMessage for NotificationEventData, added fields for various specific event types, and introduced a custom serializer/deserializer to unmarshal event types based on a discriminator. Added StoExemptionEventNotificationParamsDto DTO. (Repo: harness/harness-go-sdk) - Commit reference: 9be7eec4d93f597949170c36ec983eda0a1bba1f (feat: [PL-65522]: Fix for resource type specific notification rule (#689)) Major bugs fixed: - Resource type specific notification rule correctness fixed (PL-65522), addressing dispatch logic tied to event-type discriminator and reducing misrouting. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Improved configurability and reliability of notification events, enabling easier onboarding of new event types and reducing risk of incorrect notifications. - Strengthened forward-compatibility for downstream services relying on notification events; improved stability of the notification pipeline. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Go language, JSON handling with json.RawMessage, and DTO pattern enhancements - Custom serializer/deserializer with discriminator-based unmarshalling for multiple event types - Refactoring to support multi-event-type configurations while preserving backward compatibility
