Month: 2025-10. Backend development for Netcracker/qubership-apihub-backend focused on reliability, performance, and maintainability. Delivered two major features with measurable business value: (1) Dynamic API Diff Report and Excel Service Enhancements — refactored API diff report generation to determine column positions dynamically, removed a hardcoded configuration file, and updated the Excel service to compute column indices from processed data; minor logging and error formatting improvements included. (2) Performance Optimization for Unreferenced Data Cleanup and SQL Indexing — restructured cleanup to delete related data before the main operation, refactored deletion logic for efficiency, removed redundant counting queries, and updated SQL migration scripts to improve indexing and foreign key constraints. These changes reduce processing time, improve data accuracy in reports, and strengthen data integrity in migrations.

September 2025 monthly summary focusing on delivering stable features, improving reliability, and enhancing build efficiency across three repos. Key outcomes include a backward-compatible Agents backend integration into the UI Nginx proxy with a rollback path, DNS resolution hardening for docker-compose environments, and corrected URL parsing in the system information utility.
