Oct 1, 2025October 2025 (2025-10) - Focused on stabilizing the CI integration tests for feldera/feldera by fixing TLS certificate path resolution. This change ensures the TLS certificate is accessible across environments during integration tests, reducing environment-specific failures and increasing release confidence. Key features delivered: - CI/test-harness reliability improvements enabling TLS certificate resolution across environments. Major bugs fixed: - TLS certificate path resolution bug in test-integration-platform.yml (commit 8b1b86630533d99e089c189f1032ead6a89e193f) changing FELDERA_HTTPS_TLS_CERT from absolute to relative. Overall impact and accomplishments: - More stable end-to-end tests, faster feedback loops, and smoother release readiness for feldera/feldera. - Improved parity between environments, reducing flaky test scenarios and deployment delays. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - CI/CD pipeline tuning, YAML-based test configuration, TLS/SSL handling in test environments, cross-environment testing strategies.
