Over five months, Aktas Kaan contributed to several HMCTS repositories, focusing on backend modernization and robust API infrastructure. In ccd-data-store-api, he developed a delegating persistence layer for decentralized case types, leveraging Java, Spring Boot, and Feign to enable dynamic routing and remote service resolution. He enhanced test automation and CI/CD pipelines using Gradle and Jenkins, and improved error handling and configuration management across services. In ccd-case-document-am-api, he strengthened API compatibility and automated deployment workflows. His work emphasized modularity, security, and maintainability, delivering features that improved release velocity, data governance, and the resilience of distributed microservices architectures.

October 2025 monthly summary for hmcts/ccd-data-store-api: Delivered foundational decentralised persistence support for decentralised case types via a Delegating Persistence Layer, enabling CCD to resolve remote service ownership. Implemented core components (PersistenceStrategyResolver, Feign client, routing repository) and completed related build/test tooling updates and security-focused dependency upgrades. Updated service-auth-provider-java-client to align with the new architecture, enhancing authentication integration. These changes improve modularity, cross-service composition, and security posture, setting the stage for faster feature delivery and reduced operational risk.
