May 2025 monthly summary for RedHatInsights/rhsm-subscriptions. This period prioritized data accuracy, testing reliability, observability, and environment stability to deliver business value through reliable billing reporting and smoother deployments. Key features delivered: - Observability, metrics, and reliability improvements: added metrics for the Product API REST-client, improved logging, and extended timeouts to improve product sync flows. (Commits include SWATCH-3527, SWATCH-3586, SWATCH-3586.) - Dependency and environment stability improvements: reverted Quarkus dependency to a stable version and updated the PostgreSQL image to align with CI/dev environments. (Commits include the Quarkus revert and Postgres image update.) - Testing infrastructure cleanup and mocks: replaced contracts/products/subscription test stubs with WireMock stubs and removed use-stub properties to boost test reliability and reduce maintenance overhead. (SWATCH-3526 family of commits.) - Configuration cleanup: removed unused YAML configuration properties and RBAC use-stub properties to simplify config and reduce misconfigurations. - Data integrity improvements: strengthened billing/subscription data handling to prevent incorrect aggregations by filtering wildcard entries and prioritizing the most recent active subscription for reporting. (SWATCH-3542, SWATCH-2579) Major bugs fixed: - Data integrity: Fixed reporting inaccuracies by filtering wildcard billing providers and ensuring only the most recent active subscription is used for reporting. (EE: ee152f6, cf6249f6) - Testing reliability: Cleaned up testing stubs and introduced controlled mocks to improve test reliability and reduce maintenance overhead. (Multiple commits listed above) Overall impact and accomplishments: - Improved accuracy of billing reports and confidence in metrics-driven decisions due to data integrity improvements. - Reduced MTTR for testing and CI feedback loops through robust mocks and test stubs cleanup. - More reliable product sync flows due to observability enhancements and longer timeouts handling message bursts. - Lower risk of misconfiguration due to configuration cleanup and environment stability. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Java, Quarkus, REST (JAX-RS), and PostgreSQL ecosystem compatibility. - Observability: metrics collection, structured logging, and improved diagnostics. - Testing: WireMock-based mocks, test stubs cleanup, and stable test doubles. - DevEx: environment stabilization, dependency management, and config hygiene.
