August 2025 monthly summary for kiegroup/kogito-pipelines focusing on migration work to align nightly builds with the updated kie-tools repository. The month’s work ensured nightly builds reference the new location (kubesmarts/kie-tools) and updated configuration and dependencies accordingly, preserving CI/CD integrity across the pipeline.

July 2025 Monthly Summary — kiegroup/kogito-pipelines Key features delivered: - Nightly Build and Deployment Pipeline Stabilization: improved reliability and correctness of the nightly operator build/deploy flow, with enhancements to descriptor path handling, nightly versioning, and image manifest updates to ensure consistent nightly artifacts. Major bugs fixed: - Fixed missing update in build and invalid operator version (SRVLOGIC-631). - Reverted and then re-applied versioning adjustments; fixed OPERATOR_CODE_REPOSITORY path issues during nightly iterations. - Refined image manifest updates via descriptor-based workflows (SRVLOGIC-582), including descriptorFilePath usage and subsequent adjustment to maintain correctness. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Significantly increased nightly pipeline stability and reliability, reducing flaky nights and enabling faster feedback loops for nightly releases. - More predictable deployments across environments and clearer traceability of nightly artifacts. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - CI/CD pipeline optimization, descriptor and manifest management, and robust versioning strategies. - Git-based collaboration practices, including controlled feature/bug fix iterations across multiple commits. - Operational excellence in maintaining nightly release quality for the repository.
