October 2025: Focused on strengthening traceability, observability, and alerting alignment across search-api-v2, govuk-infrastructure, and govuk-helm-charts. Key features delivered include exposing the actual evaluation serving configuration (with display name) to improve traceability; adding month-name and year labels to Prometheus metrics to enable Grafana-based time-series analysis; and refining Alertmanager notifications by removing redundant action links and routing alerts by environment to reduce noise. Major maintenance included cleaning up Sentry monitoring for an archived service to keep alerts relevant. Overall, these changes improve operational decision-making, reduce alert fatigue, and provide richer telemetry for product/ops teams.
