Mar 1, 2025March 2025 monthly summary for AMRC-FactoryPlus/amrc-connectivity-stack. Focused on reliability, security hardening, and deployment automation across the connectivity stack, delivering business value through safer deployments, improved data flow, and better observability. Key achievements focused on: (1) linting and code quality—introduced a top-level lint target, lint Helm charts from Makefile, and stabilized service-setup linting with a valid ACS config stub; (2) deployment and data flow resilience—re-enabled ConfigDB MQTT interface with retry logic, proper URL encoding, and async correctness; (3) bootstrap and deployment automation—enabled dumps-based cluster bootstrap with dynamic dumps and chart installation via dumps; (4) data fidelity—migrated Sparkplug decoding to native types including long values; (5) edge deployment robustness—fixed UUID rename issue, allowed certain deletions to fail gracefully, and added host-ready status publication from edge-sync. These workstreams collectively reduce deployment risk, improve security posture, and enable faster, more reliable rollouts across edge and cloud components.

Jan 1, 2025January 2025 for AMRC-FactoryPlus/amrc-connectivity-stack focused on strengthening security, data governance, and maintainability while delivering measurable business value. Key achievements: - Auth Data Model and ACL Enhancements: Introduced a new Auth DB schema with UUID utilities, generalised identities, and ACL views; bootstrap ACL support via BOOTSTRAP_ACL for overriding auth data; groundwork for ConfigDB integration of Sparkplug/Kerberos identities. - Dump and Import Data Handling (v2 dumps): Added SQL-based v2 dump loading and restructured dumps by moving R2 classes out of the main dump, improving upgradeability and data migration pathways. - Service-Client Migration and Utilities Refactor: Migrated code to the new service-client, removed legacy utilities references, and relocated MetricBuilder, improving startup reliability and maintainability. - Ranking and Grant Handling fixes: Improved re-ranking logic for existing objects and corrected grant ranking examples, strengthening permission correctness and data integrity. - Job Specification Enhancements: Back-off limit promoted to a top-level Job spec parameter, improving reliability and observability of retry behavior. Impact: These changes deliver stronger security posture, clearer upgrade paths (notably for v2/v3 transitions), more robust data import and permission handling, and faster, more reliable service startup and operation. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Auth DB schema design, UUID utilities, ACL modeling and bootstrap ACL, v2 dump loading via SQL, migrating to service-client, metrics/logging refactor, and iterative improvements to ConfigDB ranking and grants.

Nov 1, 2024November 2024: AMRC-FactoryPlus/amrc-connectivity-stack advanced core platform readiness and scalability. Key outcomes include enabling large payload ingestion via configurable body limits and ConfigDB limits; launching a v2 API with updated class structure, app-based config schemas, and query views; integrating authentication with UUID input validation to prevent invalid requests; adding S-expression test script support to strengthen testing; and delivering Editor UX improvements (per-object editor menu and API-endpoint mapping) to boost editing efficiency. Supporting work included edge deployment scaffolding, dependency lockfile updates for reproducible builds, and initial object model simplifications to streamline data structures. Major bug fixes addressed reliability and correctness, including HTTP 410 handling for never-valid URLs, a service-setup typo fix, and ensuring initial ranks initialize correctly. This month consolidates a shift to a more scalable, secure, and testable architecture, enabling larger data payloads, smoother migrations to the new API, and a richer local development experience for editors and testers, while maintaining stability through targeted bug fixes."
