June 2025 monthly summary for the GemeenteNijmegen/mijn-services effort. Delivered Database Provisioning Improvements and Legacy Compatibility, focusing on reliability, governance, and user-facing outcomes. Standardized database naming, ensured correct provisioning sequence, enabled admin-led provisioning, implemented explicit ownership, and added legacy/old-database handling to prevent errors and support multi-database provisioning for users. The changes establish a robust provisioning foundation while maintaining backward compatibility for legacy databases, reducing disruption for existing users and simplifying future onboarding.

For May 2025, the mijn-services project delivered automated per-user database provisioning and isolated per-database PostgreSQL client connections, strengthening multi-tenant isolation, security, and reliability. A rollback was performed to revert a DB creation Lambda change to a stable baseline, preserving codebase stability. These workstreams reduce provisioning time, improve auditability, and prepare the system for scalable tenant onboarding, with core skills demonstrated in AWS Lambda resources, PostgreSQL client management, and robust commit hygiene.

April 2025 for GemeenteNijmegen/mijn-services focused on strengthening data protection, reducing maintenance overhead, and improving IaC hygiene. Implemented automated RDS backups with daily, monthly, and yearly retention using a dedicated, KMS-encrypted backup vault (default vault used where appropriate), and iterated on vault setup and recovery readiness. Added EFS file system backup planning with multi-tier retention to boost data durability. Cleaned Infrastructure as Code by removing outdated files and unused imports, decreasing complexity and drift. Enforced backup stack creation order to ensure data integrity by making the backup stack a dependency of the storage stack. These changes improved resilience, security, and operational efficiency, supporting faster recovery and better compliance posture.
