Jon Soloway engineered robust performance testing and configuration management solutions in the hmcts/cnp-flux-config repository over a ten-month period. He focused on enhancing test reliability and deployment safety by refining perftest scheduling, introducing safety controls, and optimizing resource usage for PostgreSQL-backed batch updates. Leveraging technologies such as Kubernetes, Helm, and SQL, Jon streamlined CI/CD workflows and improved test fidelity by aligning image policies and managing JVM options across services. His work addressed real-world governance and capacity planning challenges, resulting in more maintainable, traceable, and production-aligned test environments that reduced risk and accelerated feedback for performance-critical changes.
February 2026 — hmcts/cnp-flux-config: Delivered performance testing enhancements with two commits (1bf769d05b74b45d5ff585ffd4ec6e24eb850ae8; 0354101e4c5c1811038cde67d2bca8a42b313605). Major bugs fixed: none reported for this repo this month. Impact: enables realistic perf validation for div-cfs and enforcement-api, streamlines test deployment, and reduces startup overhead. Skills/tech: Kubernetes/kustomize deployment management, perftest configuration, Java tool options handling, JVM startup optimization, and CI/test instrumentation.

January 2026 monthly review for hmcts/cnp-flux-config focused on stabilizing performance test environments, expanding PR-testing coverage across frontends, and tightening JVM options management to improve reliability and reduce risk in performance validation. Key outcomes include production-image-based perftest stability, PR-image testing for the Citizen frontend, and a controlled rollback of custom JVM arguments in HMC to preserve test integrity. These efforts reduce deployment risk, accelerate feedback on performance changes, and strengthen the overall testing pipeline.
