February 2026 (2026-02) — Focused on strengthening compliance, deployment reliability, and authentication/metadata robustness in the datastax/pulsar repository. Key work included license and dependency updates to ensure compliance with latest libraries, re-enabling Maven distribution management for smoother releases, stabilizing URLRegexLookupProxyHandler and its tests, and delivering authentication and metadata store improvements with improved session visibility and threading model. The team also resolved numerous unit-test and CI flakiness issues, reinforcing the stability of pulsar-proxy components. These efforts reduce release risk, improve security/compliance posture, and enable faster, more predictable deployments while expanding observability through OpenTelemetry alignment (including careful rollback of upgrades to maintain stability).
