Jun 1, 2025

June 2025 monthly summary for percona/percona-server-mongodb focusing on delivering a new custom build promotion and distribution workflow within Evergreen CI/CD. Key changes include adding a new build variant, a task to generate promotion expansions, fetching the custom build tarball from S3, and uploading it to a CDN-origin server to streamline distribution of custom build artifacts. This month had no documented major bug fixes. Impact: faster, more reliable delivery of custom builds to customers and reduced manual distribution steps. Technologies involved: Evergreen CI/CD, S3, CDN-origin distribution, and build variant promotion.

Jan 1, 2025

January 2025 monthly summary for percona/percona-server-mongodb focusing on build automation and reliability. Delivered a Task Generator Version Upgrade for Build Consistency and updated the deployment fetch to the new release URL, enabling deterministic builds and improved release reproducibility.

November 2024

1 Commits

Nov 1, 2024

In November 2024, delivered a reliability-focused improvement to the evergreen repository by hardening the S3 Put command’s behavior when skip_existing is true. The fix ensures that skipped uploads are tracked and that the final success check accounts for both uploaded and skipped files, so only real upload failures cause a pipeline to fail. An integration test was added to verify the new behavior, increasing confidence in production backups and artifact uploads. This change reduces false positives in CI pipelines and contributes to more stable deployment workflows.
