Jan 1, 2025January 2025: Implemented CI/CD reliability improvements and versioning standardization for the HOUS-permit-portal, delivering clearer deployment traceability and safer releases. The changes ensure the GITHUB_SHA in production/testing workflows reliably reflects the checked-out commit and standardize release identifiers by using '@' to separate branch name from the git SHA, enabling faster diagnosis and auditing across environments.

Dec 1, 2024Month 2024-12 for bcgov/HOUS-permit-portal: Delivered deployment safety improvements, release management enhancements, and production hardening with a focus on business value and maintainability. Highlights include deployment safety via GitHub Actions branch confirmation, deterministic release versioning by injecting VITE_RELEASE_VERSION into Docker at runtime, and automatic SHA detection for dev/test environments. Production readiness was strengthened through removal of Dev/Test limits and scaling of Redis/Elasticsearch, along with code and config hardening across the stack. The work also improves authentication robustness via an explicit-case OmniAuth UID/Username refactor and prepares for stable UX with runtime-visible registration URLs and UI tweaks. Business impact: safer, auditable releases; improved environment parity; increased resiliency and scalability of core services; streamlined operational workflows; and clearer ownership of release/versioning across pipelines.
