February 2026 focused on strengthening reliability, performance, and security of the ydb platform through comprehensive stress-tool enhancements, IO-optimized storage paths, and governance improvements. Delivered new DDisk load actor and stress tool support, enhanced stress tool capabilities (multiple runs, statistics, SectorMap), and DDisk simulation to better model production workloads. Implemented io_uring wrapper and applied it to DDisk for lower latency IO, plus stress-tool io_uring routing and multi-device tests to broaden test coverage. Added runtime PDisk encryption toggle for on-demand security without downtime, and ownership metadata for blobstorage and TPCC to improve governance and ownership clarity. Stabilized CI with observability improvements (stderr logging) and key reliability fixes to prevent crashes, leaks, and build/test failures. These outcomes reduce production risk, accelerate feedback loops, and enable higher throughput and secure configurations.
