PROFILE
Leif Battermann
Leif Battermann spent the past year engineering core backend features and infrastructure for the wireapp/wire-server repository, focusing on secure collaboration, scalable onboarding, and robust API evolution. He designed and implemented domain-based access controls, granular feature flagging, and event-driven notification systems using Haskell, TypeScript, and RabbitMQ. Leif refactored data models for user groups and conversations, introduced audit logging, and improved test automation and deployment reliability. His work included PostgreSQL and Cassandra migrations, SAML/SCIM authentication flows, and Helm/Nginx configuration for production readiness. The depth of his contributions ensured maintainable, policy-driven workflows and enhanced the platform’s security, observability, and operational resilience.

Feb 1, 2025February 2025 — wire-server: Domain Registration and Activation Workflow delivered domain-based onboarding controls, including API support for GET/DELETE Registered Domains, activation rules based on domain status, and transitions between configurations ('no-registration' to 'backend'), with SSO optimizations when the domain is registered to a team. Initiated Dynamic Feature Store Migration with a Cassandra-backed dynamic features table, read-only during transition, and migration of existing features to the new 'barbie' feature system. Fixed Guest-to-Team Migration bug by preventing guest migrations, refactoring upgrade logic to allow upgrades only for active users not in a team, and adding tests. These changes improve security, scalability, and reliability of onboarding and feature delivery. Technologies demonstrated include Cassandra-backed feature stores, domain-based access controls, SSO optimization, and test-driven upgrade strategies.
