Concise monthly summary for 2026-04 focusing on business value and technical achievements: - Delivered end-to-end storage quota management with a refactor moving quota logic into a dedicated storage service and introducing a quotaIncrease object to drive the workflow. UI behavior now hides the storage menu when the feature is disabled, reducing user confusion. - Implemented backend verification for quota increases and frontend minimum-quota checks that consider usage across all versions and drafts, aligning quota promises with actual usage. - Improved total_bytes calculation to include drafts and all record versions, ensuring accurate quota enforcement and reporting. - UI and policy improvements established a robust quota increase display, contributing to a clearer, more reliable user experience. Impact: Enabled scalable quota governance, reduced risk of over- or under-allocation, and improved user experience for governing storage in records. This work lays the groundwork for automated quota lifecycle management and better alignment with organizational storage policies. Technologies/Skills demonstrated: backend service refactor, quota management domain modeling (quotaIncrease), frontend validation for quota scenarios, translation coverage, and documentation improvements.

March 2026 highlights include delivering an end-to-end Quota Management System for user storage (backend processing, dynamic calculations, visual usage, and permission checks), implementing a cleanup to replace FILES_REST with RDM_FILES for consistent file size management, and stabilizing configuration to reduce drift. These changes improve storage governance, user experience, and cross-repo consistency, delivering measurable business value.
