February 2026 monthly summary for camunda/camunda focusing on feature delivery and reliability improvements. Delivered two major features with concrete business value and implemented essential autoscaling enhancements. Key achievements include: 1) Benchmark Infrastructure and Dashboard Updates: updated load test docs for the new camunda-benchmark-prod cluster, migrated references across infra/tools, and updated dashboards to support the c8- namespace (including queries); 2) PostgreSQL/OpenSearch Pod Scheduling and Autoscaling Enhancements: introduced nodeSelector and tolerations for storage pods to schedule on tainted nodes, removed explicit CPU limits and refined CPU requests to improve autoscaler responsiveness. Minor bug fix: updated medic dashboard queries to include the c8- prefix to ensure accurate metrics collection. These contributions improve test reliability, resource utilization, and deployment scalability.

November 2025: Delivered CI stability and cost optimization for macOS runners in camunda/camunda. Consolidated CI changes to improve stability and reduce costs by disabling the macOS ARM64 CI runner and removing the macos-latest-large runners, achieving lower public-repo CI costs while preserving critical checks. Commits include 6be973b57285b8e9a45c106d25db6376b03bdf8f (ci: stop macos-arm64 bleeding) and d893850e3d86756c686159de45fdaedbe56aa715 (ci: remove macos-latest-large runners); rationale documented in Slack thread.

October 2025 monthly summary for the camunda/camunda repository: Delivered security-enhanced automation for core fields inheritance workflow and completed a Helm chart upgrade for preview environments. Implemented GitHub App token-based authentication for the core fields inheritance workflow by integrating Vault to fetch the App ID and private key and generating a temporary token for the workflow via actions/create-github-app-token. Also fixed token handover to ensure the GitHub token is correctly passed to the core fields inheritance action, resolving authentication issues during execution. Upgraded the Camunda Helm chart to 8.8.0 for preview environments, updated dependencies, renamed components from 'core' to 'orchestration' to align with the new chart structure, and adjusted configuration values for authentication and resource allocation to maintain compatibility with the newer chart version.
