Andrea Rota developed and enhanced the Webshot service for the Vizzuality/amazonia-360 repository, focusing on reliable PDF and PNG export workflows for dashboards and widgets. Over four months, Andrea architected a NestJS-based microservice using TypeScript and Node.js, integrating Playwright for headless browser automation and Docker for deployment. The work included robust API design, infrastructure as code with Terraform, and secure, scalable hosting on AWS Elastic Beanstalk. Andrea improved reliability through configurable timeouts, debounced requests, and explicit error handling, while also establishing monorepo tooling, centralized environment management, and CI/CD pipelines. These efforts resulted in maintainable, production-ready backend infrastructure.

October 2025 performance summary for Vizzuality/amazonia-360: Delivered reliability-oriented Webshot service improvements, established monorepo tooling and API scaffolding, and hardened DevOps/environment management to enable consistent, scalable deployments. Key observability and config enhancements include externalizing browser/PDF settings to config, progress logging, and robust viewport handling for webshots. Monorepo tooling streamlined development with a root pnpm setup and API script standardization, while DevOps improvements centralized environment variables, improved env handling and sourcing in Docker Compose, and enforced linting/formatting standards. Overall, these efforts improved deployment reliability, onboarding velocity, and cross-team consistency, while demonstrating strong Node.js tooling, configuration management, and CI/CD discipline.
