PROFILE
Kerem Kazan
Kerem Kazan contributed to the towns-protocol/towns repository by building and optimizing infrastructure for scalable blockchain development and deployment. Over seven months, he engineered CI/CD pipelines using Terraform and Kubernetes, integrated Docker-based local blockchain environments, and enhanced observability with Prometheus and custom logging. His work included automating build and deployment workflows with GitHub Actions, improving type safety in TypeScript modules, and streamlining dependency management for reproducible builds. By leveraging Go and Shell scripting, Kerem addressed concurrency debugging, environment configuration, and artifact hygiene, resulting in more reliable deployments, faster onboarding for contributors, and robust support for multi-network and registry workloads.

Jan 1, 2025January 2025: Implemented self-hosted CI/CD infrastructure for towns with Terraform and a Kubernetes cluster, migrated CI jobs to GitHub Actions self-hosted runners, and provisioned GCP buckets for Terraform state. Reduced Prometheus metrics cardinality by removing node_address and operator labels, cutting storage and processing costs. Added a Docker image build/push workflow for xchain-monitor to AWS ECR, with commit-SHA tagging and Slack failure notifications. Fixed multinode test flakiness on ARC runners, improving CI reliability. These efforts boosted developer velocity, reliability, and cloud cost efficiency.
