Feb 1, 2026February 2026 monthly summary for ydb-platform/ydb focused on reliability, observability, and startup stability across core data-plane features. Delivered Row Dispatcher Robustness with timeout-based disconnection handling and local leader election for distributed coordination, significantly improving session management and fault tolerance. Implemented Streaming Queries Lifecycle improvements including shared reading, checkpoint initialization, resource cleanup, capped retry policy for the Solomon write actor, and new streaming metrics/flags, boosting resilience and operability of long-running queries. Fixed Parser and Initialization Stability issues by addressing JSON null parsing with skip.json.errors and preventing initialization exceptions when static nodes are configured without a main YAML string, reducing startup failures. Tuned deduplication behavior in PQ sink and expanded streaming instrumentation to improve visibility and troubleshootability. Overall impact: higher uptime, safer startup in config-heavy environments, and clearer operator visibility into streaming workloads. Technologies/skills demonstrated: distributed coordination patterns, fault-tolerant streaming lifecycle management, checkpointing, metrics instrumentation, YAML/JSON handling, and reliability engineering.
