March 2026 focused on stabilizing resource usage, improving observability, and strengthening secret governance across two environments. Key changes include memory alignment for Java workloads, cross-environment Prometheus monitoring, and clearer secret tagging for Redshift usage.

Concise monthly summary for 2025-10 focusing on the ministryofjustice/modernisation-platform-environments project. Key progress centered on expanding Athena-Redshift integration capabilities by broadening Lambda invocation permissions, aligned with the DHS-482 work item. This change enables federated-query functions matching dpr-dps-*-federated-query-function to be invoked more broadly, improving data access for analytics pipelines and reducing future rework when new federated queries are added. No major bug fixes were reported this month; emphasis was on secure, scalable policy updates and ensuring reliable acceptance of new federated-query use cases.

September 2025 monthly summary for ministryofjustice/cloud-platform-environments: Delivered IaC-driven deployment improvements and CI/CD automation to accelerate reliable deployments, improve environment parity, and strengthen operational resilience.

July 2025 performance overview for the Ministry of Justice platform teams. Delivered data connectivity enhancements, governance improvements, and robust secrets management across two repositories, driving better data accessibility, reliability, and operational efficiency. Key outcomes include the introduction and enablement of new data connectors, expanded secrets handling for DPS services, and governance cleanup to reduce maintenance overhead.

June 2025 monthly summary prepared for ministryofjustice/modernisation-platform-environments. Delivered a multiphase data cleanup Lambda for Redshift with read-only Glue Catalog access, scheduled to run daily and enabled in Preprod across environments. The work included securing a Glue read policy, refining Redshift environment variable naming, and removing unnecessary Glue permissions to tighten security. Enabled in Preprod to validate rollout and ensure parity with production, supporting automated data hygiene and reduced manual maintenance. Technologies demonstrated include AWS Lambda, AWS Glue, Redshift, and IAM policy management, illustrating strong end-to-end implementation from infrastructure to security and deployment.

May 2025 monthly focus centered on delivering a scalable, automated data-query orchestration capability for Athena, alongside solidifying deployment reliability and governance. Key capability delivered this month is the Multiphase Query Lambda with EventBridge integration to orchestrate asynchronous Athena queries within a dedicated workgroup. This included end-to-end infrastructure and policy work to ensure secure, reproducible executions across data sources and Glue catalogs, plus deployment artifact alignment for reliable CI/CD.
