October 2025: Delivered a targeted infra/configuration upgrade in makeplane/plane by updating the Valkey docker image to 7.2.11-alpine across both community and local development docker-compose configurations. This upgrade improves security posture and stability, reduces environmental drift, and prepares the ground for upcoming feature work.

September 2025 (makeplane/plane) delivered deployment resilience enhancements and environment hygiene improvements, with clear traceability to INFRA-235. The changes improve availability and reduce misconfiguration risk by extending the Docker Compose restart policy and removing an unused SSL variable from variables.env.

In August 2025, the developer-docs repository delivered targeted documentation improvements to clarify environment variable usage and Docker-Compose configuration, enhancing the onboarding and setup experience for Plane users. The work focused on aligning naming conventions and ensuring accurate guidance in user-facing docs.

July 2025 monthly summary for makeplane/plane focused on modernizing and stabilizing the self-hosted deployment pipeline and simplifying the proxy layer. Delivered a consolidated deployment workflow, standardized Docker and supervisor configurations, and transitioned from Nginx to a generic proxy to reduce maintenance and improve reliability. The efforts enhanced deployment reproducibility, reduced operational risk, and laid groundwork for smoother upgrades and scale.

June 2025 monthly summary for makeplane/developer-docs focusing on aligning External Secrets documentation with API v1, improving YAML readability, and refining configuration guidance to reduce onboarding time and API-reference errors.

In May 2025, delivered a comprehensive upgrade to the Kubernetes installation guide for Plane self-hosting in makeplane/developer-docs, aligning with the latest Plane release (v1.9.1) and improving onboarding, reliability, and governance of deployment processes.

April 2025: Focused on stabilizing deployments and modernizing image sourcing for makeplane/plane. Implemented Docker Registry Path Migration to pull images from the new artifact registry path artifacts.plane.so/makeplane, updating docker-compose sources and DOCKERHUB_USER references, and simplified CI/build workflow to reduce unintended environment changes. These changes lowered maintenance costs, improved deployment reliability, and set the stage for faster releases across environments.

March 2025: Focused on reliability, security, and developer experience across two repos. Key deliveries include a CI/CD upgrade to Ubuntu 22.04 in makeplane/plane and a MinIO SSL termination config (MINIO_ENDPOINT_SSL) across runtime and Docker Compose. In makeplane/developer-docs, documentation fixes improved Swarm deployment accuracy and Portainer deployment steps, plus an updated minimum Plane version for Swarm self-hosting. These changes reduce deployment toil, strengthen security, and streamline onboarding, enabling faster, more reliable deployments.

February 2025 focused on expanding Plane's self-hosting capabilities by delivering Docker Swarm support, providing a scalable alternative to Docker Compose and enhancing deployment flexibility for enterprise deployments. The team also improved deployment automation and traceability to support rapid iteration and reliable releases.
