July 2025 focused on modernization of configuration, domain management, and privacy/data-subject workflows across guardian/support-service-lambdas and guardian/members-data-api. Key outcomes include adopting a unified configuration system across support-service-lambdas, enabling consistent config handling and reducing bespoke secret management. Implemented environment-aware API Gateway URL support and domain mappings for the MParticle API, enabling reliable per-environment routing and smoother promotions from CODE to PROD. Introduced SrLambdaDomain constructs and integrations for custom domains and subdomains, with coordinated domain naming, callback URL logic, and data-subject-requests integration. Expanded Data Subject Request capabilities (status retrieval by User Id, environment-based callback routing) and enhanced Baton-based Right to Erasure handling with test coverage and documentation updates. Guardian/members-data-api gained improved payment handling and billing previews, along with supporting test/documentation refinements. Across repositories, code quality improvements (lint/prettier fixes, readability refactors) and comprehensive test updates reduced risk and accelerated future delivery.
