Yanjin Cheng developed advanced charting and UI features across the scality/core-ui and scality/metalk8s repositories, focusing on robust data visualization and maintainable component design. Leveraging TypeScript, React, and YAML, Yanjin integrated libraries like Recharts to deliver embeddable time-series charts, centralized legend systems, and dynamic formatting for dashboards. Their work included refactoring chart components for accuracy, automating CI/CD workflows with GitHub Actions, and enhancing security by enabling OpenID Connect authentication for Prometheus and Alertmanager. Through careful dependency management and UI consistency improvements, Yanjin delivered scalable, testable solutions that improved user experience, streamlined releases, and aligned with enterprise security and design standards.
February 2026 (scality/metalk8s): Delivered OpenID Connect authentication for Prometheus and Alertmanager, extending PrometheusConfig and AlertManagerConfig with OIDC options (commit 32c1075be8ca07f41b34c0de2ed32cb61bd17101).

August 2025 monthly performance focused on delivering robust, scalable time-series visualization features and maintaining dependency health. Key contributions include the Chart Legend System Enhancements for a centralized, reusable legend experience across multiple charts, the Line Time Series Chart API and Data Handling Enhancements for flexible time-span control, irregular interval support, mixed data values, and a streamlined UX with no animation and new X-axis labeling, and a Recharts ReferenceLine isFront API compatibility fix. Additionally, Zenko version maintenance updates the dependencies (UI to 3.2.7 and core to 2.12.5). The work improves business value by delivering consistent, accurate time-series insights, reducing maintenance overhead, and aligning with upstream libraries for long-term stability.
