Jul 1, 2025July 2025 monthly summary for percona/percona-server-mongodb. Focused on reliability and availability; delivered a critical bug fix to replica set primary election when chainingAllowed is false, along with test coverage; improved failover robustness and consistency in mixed or delayed replication scenarios. The work addresses SERVER-105416 and includes a test to cover a scenario where a node behind needs to sync from secondaries to become eligible for primary election. This reduces failover downtime and improves cluster stability.

Delivered a targeted improvement to rollback robustness by hardening critical checks in the rollback path, linked to ongoing reliability initiatives and tracked under SERVER-50071. What was delivered: - Rollback robustness improvements with strict fasserts: Replaced invariant checks with fasserts in rollback_impl.cpp to enforce critical checks during rollback operations, catching severe failures early in development/testing and preventing data inconsistencies. Commit: c3e9b41585d242c342da0100014855c7425d6e51. Impact: Enhanced data integrity and reliability of rollback paths in the percona/percona-server-mongodb distribution. Enables faster detection of rollback-related issues in CI and pre-release testing, reducing the risk of data corruption in production rollbacks. Business value: Reduces risk of data inconsistencies during rollback, accelerates issue detection in development and CI, and supports safer releases for customers relying on Percona Server for MongoDB. Technologies/skills demonstrated: C++ code changes, rollback logic hardening, use of fasserts for fast-fail behavior, traceability via SERVER-50071, code review discipline, and CI/testing alignment.

Mar 1, 2025March 2025 monthly summary for percona/percona-server-mongodb: Focused on stabilizing time-series validation logic. Delivered a bug fix that simplifies the time-series bucket count validation condition and removes redundant checks related to compressed bucket versions when decompression is not intended, ensuring validation proceeds only when necessary. This enhances robustness of time-series collection handling and reduces the risk of false validation failures in production workloads. Change linked to PR #33665 and commit 7aa6a68a1ad0ce62914d3ff306e622b740553d55.
