February 2025: Delivered reproducible genomic analysis development environments and groundwork for environment-specific deployments in verily-src/workbench-app-devcontainers. Implemented a JupyterLab + GATK dev environment via Docker Compose with standardized dev container configuration and image references, and initiated templating for environment-specific deployments to enable flexible dev/stage/prod workflows. Stabilized the dev workflow by aligning container images and references (including the 20250225 tag) and by iterating on templating, with a rollback when templates did not behave as expected. These efforts reduce local setup time, improve consistency across environments, and lay the foundation for automated deployment pipelines.
