PROFILE

Martin Norbury

Martin Norbury engineered and maintained the cloudquery/helm-charts repository, focusing on robust Kubernetes platform deployment and lifecycle automation. Over five months, he delivered features such as persistent storage, S3 integration, and OpenTelemetry-based observability, while hardening security with RBAC and PostgreSQL-backed key management. Using Go, Helm, and YAML, Martin automated CI/CD pipelines with Renovate and release-please, streamlined rollback and release processes, and improved developer experience through local development enhancements and documentation centralization. His work addressed deployment reliability, security, and maintainability, culminating in the deprecation and cleanup of legacy charts to align with evolving release automation and reduce operational overhead.

January 2025: CloudQuery Helm Charts — Deployment stabilization, local development improvements, and observability enhancements. Key features delivered: - AWS EKS deployment with External Secrets Operator, Certificate Manager, and Nginx Ingress to enable secure, scalable cloud deployments (commit 59d1a354ed57fa518a0d7a70c8130180fec26ea0). - OpenTelemetry Collector and Helm chart enhancements: default ClickHouse DB set to 'assets', dynamic DB configuration via Helm values, and removal of a redundant environment section in otelcollector.yaml (commits 93a89abe54180eacf05cd629bcdb5f1ea830929d, 5d6398a5118193666a9984b9f9dcd294c5c263e9, 2bcd728b4da5851730ff477541238f61dbb329b8). - Ingress host fallback to 'localhost' to improve local development usability (commit e2a8a2fff394430b65c86442f20c9a2572d979ca). Major bugs fixed: - Cloud container AES key access for non-root: access to CQAPI_LOCAL_AES_KEY_FILE now works via a shared volume (commit e743addd5d6ef181d107ae84ab30f3361730c9fb). - CI stability: Upgraded Python to 3.13.1 to address linting/testing issues from an unsupported Python version (commit c268112e4303bea9b7e71b35d3f9fbb738754e86). Overall impact and accomplishments: - Strengthened security and reliability for cloud deployments, with easier on-ramp for developers thanks to improved local development UX and more robust CI. - Enhanced observability through OTEL enhancements and configurable DB integration, enabling better performance monitoring and data reliability. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Kubernetes on AWS (EKS), Helm, External Secrets Operator, Cert-Manager, Nginx Ingress - OpenTelemetry Collector configuration and Helm chart tuning - ClickHouse DB configuration via Helm values - CI/CD hygiene and Python environment management

December 2024: Stabilized and accelerated platform deployments for CloudQuery by delivering substantial Helm chart improvements, automated release workflows, and rollback safeguards. The state of a production-ready platform helm chart was advanced with external PostgreSQL/ClickHouse support, ingress, and deployment guidance for GKE/EKS; CI/CD and release automation were tightened with release-please integration and improved PR labeling/ownership; and rollback guardrails were established to recover from issues while maintaining release history integrity. The work enhances cloud readiness, reduces deployment friction, and shortens release cycles while improving security and metadata hygiene.
