PROFILE
Ulyssa
Ulyssa contributed to the fastly/Viceroy project by engineering core features and infrastructure for Compute@Edge, focusing on robust API development, session management, and deterministic request processing. She refactored execution context handling in Rust to improve concurrency and maintainability, introduced hostcall APIs for DDoS detection and downstream metadata, and enhanced error handling to reduce race conditions. Ulyssa upgraded Wasmtime dependencies for future compatibility and implemented integration tests to validate session crash propagation. Her work included updating documentation and CI/CD configurations, ensuring release traceability and stability. Throughout, she applied expertise in Rust, WebAssembly, and asynchronous programming to deliver reliable, maintainable systems.

Oct 1, 2025In Oct 2025, the Viceroy project expanded test coverage to strengthen session robustness. A targeted integration test was added to verify that requests landing in a reused session that subsequently crashes correctly elicit a 5XX server error, ensuring erroneous responses are identified and surfaced. This work enhances reliability and maintainability by codifying crash propagation behavior and linking to the related issue (#540).

Sep 1, 2025Month: 2025-09; Repos: fastly/Viceroy. Focused on delivering core hostcall enhancements, bug fixes, and groundwork for future SNI support. Key outcomes include IP override in inspect hostcall, robustness fix for downstream_compliance_region, a hostcall stub for downstream_tls_client_servername, and docs alignment for wasm32-wasip1. Added tests to validate memory slice handling and region/nones. These changes improve observability, reliability, and future feature readiness with minimal risk.

Aug 1, 2025Month: 2025-08 – Key work focused on making request processing deterministic in fastly/Viceroy and upgrading Wasmtime to improve compatibility and stability. Implemented blocking semantics for next_request_wait so a request is only considered ready when fully prepared, and enhanced await_downstream_req to wait for all pending downstream requests to complete before returning handles. Upgraded Wasmtime crates to 28.0.0 and updated related sub-crates, adjusting the cli::exit WIT interface and resource limiter definitions for compatibility. These changes reduce race conditions, improve end-to-end timing predictability, and position the project to leverage newer engine features. Commits: 64dc6ea28a5bfd019c9d1824e2092fe88691158f (Make `next_request_wait` block until ready (#501)) and d945414f57add0d2c781ca8b78c05b79f9f31d52 (Update `wasmtime` crates to `28.0.0` (#512)).
