Developed a CI/CD automation workflow for the timescale/timescaledb repository, focusing on cloud update smoke testing to improve release reliability and feedback speed. The solution leveraged GitHub Actions, Shell scripting, and YAML to automate code checkout, dependency installation—including a specific PostgreSQL version—and execution of smoke tests across current and previous TimescaleDB versions. Logs were automatically uploaded as artifacts on failure, enhancing visibility and enabling faster debugging. This workflow established a repeatable pattern for validating cloud updates, running nightly and on relevant pull requests, and laid the groundwork for extending automated testing to additional environments and workloads within the project.
