December 2025 – flathub-infra/website: Focused on reliability, performance, and developer experience. Delivered WattPM integration and config, added mapping for org.gnome.d-spy, and completed core build/deploy enhancements (top-level logger/server, docker-compose, uvloop, and server logger level). Strengthened caching and Redis strategy (endpoint caching, async Redis operations, and stale-cache refresh) and migrated away from legacy Redis setup to reduce risk. Hardened runtimes and packaging (vendored lua-resty-http with http_connect.lua fix, fat image for OPM) and improved content freshness via metadata alias serialization and RSS feed item increase. These efforts reduce deployment risk, improve response times, and enable faster feature delivery with stronger observability and reliability.
