Oct 1, 2025

October 2025 performance summary across nais/api, nais/cli, and nais/narcos focused on strengthening log observability, developer tooling, and CI/CD reliability. Key outcomes include Loki-based real-time log subscriptions with multi-tenant support and dynamic Loki URL generation, GraphQL log analysis enhancements with a new Duration scalar and updated schema, and a major refactor of the log subsystem into logstreamer with testing mocks. CLI improvements in log retrieval and querying (QueryBuilder, multi-value selectors, since/limit, environment filtering), plus navigation enhancements in CLI outputs. Domain-aware behavior enabled via user domain context, and CI/CD modernization with stricter GitHub Actions permissions, on-demand CodeQL analysis, dependency updates, and targeted Narcos fix to avoid masking primary operations during close.

Feb 1, 2025

February 2025 (Month: 2025-02) delivered a set of architectural migrations, reliability enhancements, and tooling upgrades across three repositories, aligning data access, deployment management, and developer experience with project-wide standards. Key features include migrating deployment data to the Nais API via gRPC (removing the /deployments endpoint), establishing a formal environment management subsystem with GraphQL-backed CRUD and a dataloader to optimize data fetching, and a GraphQL server refresh with improved tracing. Routine dependency upgrades were performed to improve stability and security. Go toolchain upgrades were implemented to align with modern tooling (Go 1.23.6 and 1.24.0), along with improved test reliability using predefined wait strategies for PostgreSQL. These changes collectively reduce technical debt, improve reliability, and enable faster, more predictable feature delivery.
