January 2026 monthly summary focusing on deployment workflow modernization for interledger.org-developers, emphasizing cloud-native deployment via Google Cloud Storage (GCS), removal of legacy AWS deployment path, and improved maintainability.

December 2025 monthly summary for interledger.org-developers. Key features delivered include: 1) Developers Portal Static Hosting on Google Cloud Storage (GCS) with Nginx and CI/CD automation - GitHub Actions workflow to deploy to GCS on main push - Nginx-based static file server for the developers portal - Multi-stage Docker builds to fetch and serve content from GCS - Migration of static serving from AWS S3 to nginx on GCS to improve delivery - Commits: c71b6674afd98a362643029627cd68fac9ec425d; 5ec6c740126107c9265ccd1ea6741d1d291db27f; c54a6848aadaf09a058ea7239860c9d127347526 2) Netlify Deployment and Developer Onboarding for Interledger Developers Portal - New Netlify deployment configuration and improved onboarding documentation - Ensures deployment consistency between preview and production; deprecates outdated workflows - Commit: 1625b7a5841b02613b741e42e8ee13e1004205a7 Major bugs fixed: None reported this month. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Accelerated content delivery and deployment reliability for the Developers Portal by leveraging GCS + Nginx with CI/CD automation, reducing manual steps and potential drift. - Improved developer onboarding and deployment clarity with comprehensive docs and Netlify-based deployment path; standardized workflows and deprecated legacy processes to reduce confusion and risk. - Consolidated hosting strategy under cloud-native delivery stacks (GCS, Nginx, Netlify) with clear migration from S3 to self-hosted static serving, improving performance and control. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Google Cloud Storage (GCS), Nginx, Docker (multi-stage builds), GitHub Actions (CI/CD), Google Cloud deployment practices - Netlify, Astro build tooling (via netlify.toml and Bun-based workflow), documentation and contributor onboarding - Migration strategy and workflow deprecation to streamline future contributions.

June 2025 focused on enhancing Rafiki's CI/CD and release tagging to improve release clarity, automation reliability, and developer productivity. Implemented hierarchical major/minor version tagging for releases and updated the performance test CI to skip automatic PR comments for forked PRs. This work improves release traceability, reduces noise in PRs, and enables faster deployments with clearer versioning.

February 2025 — interledger/rafiki: strengthened container security by enabling non-root execution across all services and tightening permissions; this reduces privilege escalation risk and enhances compliance readiness. The change is implemented in the container build pipeline and tracked via commit cef072641c1a1292f9cfc7ba24b6ce967101653e (build: containers will now run as the non-root rafiki user (#3277)).
