Gurinder Brar developed and enhanced core features for the NHSDigital/ftrs-directory-of-services repository, focusing on reliability, observability, and testability. He built a health check endpoint for the GP Search API using Python and AWS Lambda, integrating a DynamoDB status check to improve uptime monitoring and incident response. Gurinder also standardized log retention across environments by updating Terraform configurations for AWS Lambda and API Gateway, supporting governance and operational consistency. Additionally, he introduced a sandbox environment for the DoS Search API with FastAPI and OpenAPI, enabling robust QA and integration testing. His work demonstrated depth in infrastructure automation and cloud-native API development.

October 2025 performance summary for NHSDigital/ftrs-directory-of-services. Delivered two key features with a strong emphasis on governance, observability, and testability. 1) Log Retention Standardization Across Environments: introduced environment-specific configuration to standardize AWS log retention periods for Lambda and API Gateway, improving compliance, cost control, and operational visibility. 2) DoS Search API Sandbox: added a sandbox service with API specification and canned responses to support testing success and error scenarios, accelerating QA and integration work. These changes reduce production risk, improve consistency across environments, and enhance developer productivity. Relevant commits: cc7efc404532c4fbfba5332fc101ef1438eb7575; ae8c646471191c376077cde8982ce1e76536f316.
