Apr 1, 2025April 2025 (2025-04) — Focused on reliability, developer experience, and data correctness. Key features delivered include: 1) CI Migration Validation to enforce correct migration order and apply migrations during releases via a go-migrate.yml workflow. 2) Devtool Docker Compose Environmental Profiles to isolate environment files per deployment profile (cloud, e2e, local) with reusable service templates and profile-specific configs (e.g., PostgreSQL). 3) Canvas Metrics Time Settings Validation to ensure consistent first_day_of_week and first_month_of_year across metrics views, including unit tests. Impact: reduces release risk, eliminates environment drift, and strengthens analytics consistency. Technologies demonstrated: Go, GitHub Actions/CI, Docker Compose, unit testing, Canvas reconciliation logic, PostgreSQL integration.
