March 2025 monthly summary for the cipherstash/proxy repo. Focused on preparing and communicating the Proxy V2 release through targeted README updates and release documentation, enabling smoother user adoption and alignment with product goals.

January 2025 focused on delivering a usability-enhancing feature for encryption configuration, strengthening query handling resilience, and leveling up test infrastructure. Key outcomes include: a new cs_config() function to inspect encryption configuration in cipherstash/encrypt-query-language, resilient frontend error handling in cipherstash/proxy that prevents connection termination on query errors and surfaces PostgreSQL errors to clients, and code quality/test infrastructure improvements including formatting, linting, and TLS certificate updates. These efforts reduce admin toil, improve reliability of client connections, and establish a foundation for faster iterations. Technologies demonstrated include Rust, TLS/test certificates, PostgreSQL protocol handling, and standard code quality practices.
