In August 2025, the AICP-API team delivered essential database and deployment improvements that strengthen data integrity, API usability, and production reliability. Key work included consolidating Prisma schema changes across core models (User, Role, Permission, Question, ExamSet, Course) and upgrading the Prisma client to align with the new schema, enabling safer migrations and faster development cycles. The team also introduced a default Exam Set name of 'AI For Fresher' and added API support to query exam sets by name, improving retrieval efficiency for clients. Additionally, a production Docker deployment fix ensured correct file ownership and user context, preventing Prisma client generation errors in prod. These changes reduce operational risk, enhance data consistency, and support scalable growth for the API surface.

July 2025 monthly summary for st-united/AICP-API focusing on business value and technical excellence. Delivered end-to-end CI/CD and deployment automation across development, UAT, and production, including infrastructure management for PostgreSQL and Redis and robust deployment/rollback strategies. Implemented Google service key secret management in Kubernetes, with secret generation/mounts and adjusted kustomization across dev, UAT, and production. Optimized production build by updating the Dockerfile to include public assets and dependencies for headless browser operations.
