May 2025 was focused on reliability, observability, and maintainability for the TANF-app. Key reliability improvements were delivered for the polling loop, with robust handling of error responses to ensure continued operation during transient failures. The month also expanded test coverage (including 4xx scenarios) and implemented critical date/age calculations fixes. Instrumentation and monitoring were significantly enhanced through RUM integration and pervasive service instrumentation, paired with dashboard enhancements and Grafana upgrades. A series of UI/UX and data visualization improvements were shipped, including Tempo data storage in S3, Tempo datasource, and an overview/dashboard suite to improve operational visibility. On the architecture side, the service logic began moving into a React hook with Redux middleware removed, contributing to a leaner, more maintainable code path. Security and deployment hygiene were tightened with policy/config hardening and several deployment-script improvements. Finally, there was a broad commitment to code quality and maintenance, evidenced by linting improvements and package-lock/base image hygiene.
