Dougal Matthews

Worked on stabilizing Terraform plan diffs in the grafana/terraform-provider-grafana repository, focusing on backend development and API integration using Go and Terraform. Addressed a persistent issue where non-deterministic ordering of allowed_origins caused unnecessary plan churn, leading to spurious updates. Developed and implemented a custom plan modifier that suppresses these noisy diffs, ensuring updates are only triggered by genuine configuration changes. Validated the solution through existing acceptance tests and plan validation, reducing noise across multiple cells in the session canary stack module. The work delivered a targeted bug fix that improved reliability and business value in Grafana Cloud Frontend Observability integration.
