Feb 1, 2026

February 2026 — Opetushallitus/koto-rekisteri: Focused on reliable data transfer enablement, observability, and data integrity to deliver measurable business value and maintainable operations. Key features delivered include production enablement for the YKI-KOSKI data transfer with explicit maintenance controls, and enhanced observability for evaluation state transfer via debug tracing and improved diagnostics. Major bug fixes addressed identity semantics for YkiSuorituksenTunniste (equals/hashCode) and a data-mapping fix that records a single error when multiple rows share the same identifier, marking the rest as transferred to improve data integrity. Additional improvements strengthened monitoring (separate error vs warning alerts with raised thresholds) and UI clarity (performance metrics label). Sub-test level validation for non-transferred data was relaxed to reduce unnecessary validation overhead. Technologies demonstrated include Kotlin/Java code quality, robust data mappings, observability instrumentation, and proactive monitoring. Business impact: safer, more auditable transfers, faster incident detection and resolution, and a clearer operator experience.
