In Oct 2025, the team delivered a key CI/CD improvement for getappmap/appmap-intellij-plugin by implementing CI Build Artifact Naming for Traceability, significantly enhancing artifact traceability and management across CI runs. The feature uses the GitHub run number and a truncated commit SHA to simplify auditing and rollback workflows, improving reproducibility across environments.

July 2025 monthly summary focusing on reliability, scalability, and backup resilience for disaster-ninja-cd. Key work concentrated on Event API DB replica management and primary leadership stabilization, plus a targeted backup timeout improvement in the test environment. The changes emphasize storage efficiency, high availability, and CI/CD reliability in production and testing. Highlights include cross-node replica rebalancing and migration to gpu01, node affinities and tolerations to ensure safe scheduling, and decommission-safe leadership stabilization on a closing node. Additionally, a backup resilience improvement was implemented by increasing the pgbackrest archive-timeout to 4 hours in the TEST-PG17 environment to prevent WAL archiving timeouts. Business value delivered: improved DB storage efficiency, reduced risk of replica contention during maintenance, smoother upgrades/decommissioning, and more reliable backups in the test environment, enabling faster iteration and lower operational risk.
