Gorton Brown developed a new Expression of Interest API endpoint for the ministryofjustice/hmpps-integration-api repository, enabling job associations with HMPPS IDs, translating them to NOMIS, and publishing messages to AWS SQS for downstream processing. He implemented robust validation and error handling to ensure data integrity, addressing scenarios with invalid or missing HMPPS IDs. Using Java, Spring Boot, and AWS SQS, his work supported real-time, message-driven workflows and improved data consistency across systems. Additionally, in ministryofjustice/cloud-platform-environments, he used Terraform to disable RDS PostgreSQL auto start/stop, preventing unintended downtime and ensuring consistent database availability during deployments.

April 2025: RDS Auto Start/Stop Disabled to Prevent Downtime in ministryofjustice/cloud-platform-environments. Implemented explicit configuration to disable automatic start/stop for the RDS PostgreSQL instance, preventing unintended restarts and ensuring consistent database availability across deployments.
