Worked on the torchbox/rca-wagtail-2019 repository to enhance the resilience of GeoIP-based personalization features. Addressed the challenge of MaxMind database unavailability by shifting from the local GeoIP2 backend to Cloudflare’s CF-Connecting-IP header, ensuring IP-based personalization continued to function under misconfigurations. Applied targeted exception handling in Django to prevent 500 errors and removed outdated workarounds, simplifying the backend codebase. Focused on robust error handling and API integration using Python, these changes reduced the risk of outages and improved production stability. Documented the new approach to support future maintenance and feature development, emphasizing reliability and maintainability in backend systems.
