February 2025: Delivered a major CI/CD overhaul for NFDI4Microbiota/nfdi4microbiota-knowledge-base. Implemented Docker-enabled CI steps, upgraded checkout and Actions versions, and introduced a new CI pipeline. Optimized deployments by updating CI/CD YAMLs for deploy_to_denbi_server.yml and build_and_deploy.yml. Improved pipeline reliability by fixing Docker issues and several pipeline logic bugs, and cleaned up the configuration by removing an obsolete GitHub workflow. Enhanced performance with fetch-depth support across deployment/build pipelines. Configured a specific CI runner (and later reverted) to balance stability and resource usage. Result: faster builds, more reliable deployments to the denbi server, reduced maintenance overhead, and clearer CI configuration.
