May 2025 monthly summary for traPtitech/NeoShowcase focused on strengthening Protobuf-based APIs, build reliability, and code quality. Two major feature clusters were delivered, underpinned by a streamlined, tool-driven approach that reduces setup friction and accelerates onboarding for new contributors. Key accomplishments: - Buf-based Protobuf build system and API compatibility: migrated Protobuf generation and build tooling from local protoc to Buf, removed old protoc scripts, switched to local plugins, and updated the NeoShowcase API protobuf definitions to maintain compatibility, enabling consistent, environment-agnostic builds. Commits: 49cdf1bd64f1e2482b9e4876f3857c7f32fe7c11; 5a1a5753f48260a4da0bf2c7caa7b65366ec2a6b; 02ac519daf6bcdf9a13ab2e0e645450f1efbae5a; eeff1524cb49ccf1f2d22acdb19634e5080bc653. - CI and code quality tooling for protobuf and Go: introduced a protobuf-focused CI workflow and standardized code quality tooling including golangci-lint formatters and import ordering to improve maintainability and consistency; coupled with a repo-wide format pass. Commits: 49fa12e5cd4d8fc2df7856bdae4295b4a538a73b; 3b3178f3f738dbf9a8088a438687055c79ea353b; fe1f4e7e94db23af783032d5e6c4fc735cebdd9a. - Code quality and formatting discipline: enforced consistent formatting and import ordering across the codebase, aligning with the Go tooling standard and reducing drift in PRs. Commits: (format-related changes included in the above CI/formatting work). Impact and business value: - Build reliability and speed improved through Buf-based generation and removal of local protoc dependencies, enabling faster local and CI runs with consistent results. - Reduced maintenance friction and onboarding time by standardizing tooling (Buf, Protobuf CI, golangci-lint) and ensuring consistent code quality across Go services. - Improved API compatibility management for NeoShowcase, reducing risk of breaking changes and improving client integration experiences. Technologies and skills demonstrated: - Buf and Protobuf tooling migration, local plugin usage, buf generate workflows. - Protobuf, API compatibility strategies, and build pipeline modernization. - Go tooling discipline: golangci-lint, CI workflows, automated formatting, and import ordering.
