Over seven months, Alex Mora enhanced the 2gis/on-premise-helm-charts repository by delivering features focused on security, reliability, and maintainability for on-premise deployments. He implemented token-based authentication for the Tiles API, introduced mutual TLS and secret-based TLS configuration for Cassandra connections, and upgraded Helm charts to synchronize API versions and ensure reliable migrations. Using YAML, Helm, and Kubernetes, Alex addressed operational risks by automating database migrations and adding configurable retry policies for CQL queries. His work demonstrated depth in API security, database management, and DevOps, resulting in more robust, secure, and easily managed deployments across Kubernetes environments.
February 2026 (Month: 2026-02): Focused on improving resilience of the on-prem Helm deployment by introducing a Configurable Retry Policy for CQL Queries. This feature adds configurable retry attempts and delays for CQL operations, reducing the impact of transient failures and improving data access reliability in on-prem environments. The change was implemented in the 2gis/on-premise-helm-charts repository with commit 6ffc581ff167b601891453f7870b3bcbe4896957 (BASIS-761). No major bugs were reported or fixed this month. Overall, this work enhances service reliability, lowers MTTR during transient errors, and demonstrates proficiency in Helm charts, Kubernetes operator patterns, and CQL client configurations.
