August 2025 highlights focused on GLAM data pipeline reliability, data quality, and version information accessibility across two repos: mozilla/telemetry-airflow and mozilla/bigquery-etl. Key reliability fixes in GLAM DAG aggregation reduced data gaps by signaling on the daily_release_done task and correcting the glam_fenix external_task_id to reference the proper preceding task, ensuring aggregates align with the intended release flow. In GLAM ETL, dual_labeled_counters support was added with updates to scalar metrics processing and SQL templates, plus a data quality improvement to filter probes with excessive labels. Additionally, GLAM version information is now sourced from telemetry_derived.latest_versions, with new metadata and a dedicated view to streamline access. These changes collectively improve data accuracy, reliability, and the speed of analytics downstream, enabling better business decisions and more trustworthy dashboards.
