April 2026 performance summary for comet-ml/opik: Delivered a major efficiency improvement for Feedback Score Processing by conditionally excluding feedback score computations in both backend and frontend, reducing resource usage during queries. The change wraps the feedback_score CTE chain (and the associated span queries) in a guard and propagates exclusion to the UI when feedback score columns are hidden, covering both v1 and v2 TracesSpansTab. This work is tracked under the OPIK-5270 ticket with commit f3dc529977185898972709d496ba48f084a458fb. Result: heavy query overhead was reduced, memory footprint dropped dramatically on default loads, improving scalability for larger datasets.

October 2024 monthly summary for comet-ml/opik focused on container lifecycle reliability and configuration hygiene. No user-facing features were released this month. Major change implemented: removed the 'restart: always' directive for the Redis service in docker-compose.yaml to prevent automatic restarts after stopping, aligning lifecycle management with the intended setup across environments (dev/stage/prod). This reduces resource usage and makes container behavior predictable during development and testing. The change is captured in commit 0934c7d576433db96578d072df9b05c86d8ea4ed with the message: 'NO-JIRA: Redis docker-compose no restart (#508)'.
