Dec 1, 2024December 2024 (FAForever/gitops-stack): Delivered two focused changes to improve customization and reliability in the GitOps stack. Key outcomes include enabling user-defined Grafana dashboards by disabling the default Grafana sidecar installation, enabling per-project dashboards, and correcting MariaDB configuration loading by renaming mysql.cnf to mysqld-custom.cnf to ensure the intended custom settings are applied. These changes reduce deployment friction for tenants, improve dashboard flexibility, and increase MariaDB reliability across environments. Demonstrated end-to-end GitOps changes, traceability, and a pragmatic approach to configuration management.
