Lucy McNatt contributed to the broadinstitute/cromwell repository by developing and refining workflow import and deployment features over a two-month period. She implemented ZIP-based workflow import for the Describe endpoint, enabling ingestion of local ZIP packages and supporting this with targeted code refactoring and comprehensive tests in Scala and WDL. Lucy later reverted this feature to maintain API stability, demonstrating careful consideration of user expectations and downstream impact. Additionally, she streamlined Cromwell server deployment on GCP Batch by introducing a new configuration and clarifying concurrency requirements. Her work emphasized backend development, API design, and maintainability, reflecting thoughtful engineering and process awareness.
February 2026 monthly summary for broadinstitute/cromwell: Key features delivered: - Added Cromwell server on GCP Batch run configuration to streamline deployments; includes a clarifying comment about needing a unique suffix in LanguageFactoryUtil.scala to support concurrent runs (commit aa606d61fc2cf34b302e4b28920027bb06b54aec). Major bugs fixed: - ZIP imports removal from Describe endpoint: reverted the addition of ZIP imports for the Describe API; restored the previous non-support state (commit 3ac950bdc5f9ec7fb20c72505656b7fe6de272de). Overall impact and accomplishments: - Deployment on GCP Batch is clearer and more scalable, reducing operational risk; API behavior remains stable and aligned with user expectations. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - GCP Batch deployment automation, REST API stability, code documentation, concurrency considerations in LanguageFactoryUtil.scala.
