September 2025 monthly summary for getsentry/self-hosted focused on reliability improvements. Implemented an automatic restart policy for the pgbouncer service in docker-compose.yml to improve availability and resilience of containerized services. No major bugs fixed this period. The change strengthens operational readiness by enabling automatic recovery from transient pgbouncer failures, reducing manual intervention and downtime in production/self-hosted deployments. This aligns with reliability engineering goals and supports smoother incident response in hosted environments. Technologies demonstrated include Docker, docker-compose, containerized service management, and change-based deployment practices.

August 2025: Implemented PgBouncer-based database connection pooling for the getsentry/self-hosted deployment. Updated docker-compose and configuration to route all DB connections through PgBouncer, reducing direct PostgreSQL load and enabling more stable scaling of self-hosted deployments. No major bugs fixed this month. This work underpins improved performance, resource utilization, and operational reliability, and demonstrates strong skills in container orchestration, database connection management, and release discipline.

Month: 2025-01 — Focused on improving observability for Ruby background jobs and aligning trace sampling with the latest sentry-ruby SDK to enhance visibility at low sampling rates, supporting faster incident response and higher-quality dashboards.
