Feb 1, 2026

February 2026 (2026-02) focused on delivering performance, reliability, observability, testing, and process improvements for ydb-platform/ydb. Core SQL performance improvements and cluster state reliability enhanced join performance and correct PileState imports, while targeted concurrency fixes reduced risk of data races. Observability was improved through explicit version logging, and CI/CD governance was modernized to streamline backports and branch management. Testing framework updates strengthened stress-test reliability and sanitizer handling, contributing to more stable releases and faster feedback cycles.

Sep 1, 2025

September 2025: Delivered a comprehensive CI/CD pipeline refresh and test configuration overhaul for the ydb platform, resulting in faster feedback loops, more stable test runs, and streamlined build/test workflows. Implemented updated test runners and tuned MSAN/TSAN settings, enhanced test flags, and removed deprecated external dependencies to reduce maintenance. Strengthened prestable release tooling with updated version handling to enable smoother Prestable-25-4 cycles. The month also focused on automation reliability and reducing flaky test scenarios through targeted optimization of workflows and test configurations.

August 2025

Aug 1, 2025

August 2025 focused on stabilizing configuration comparison tooling, expanding prestable support, and strengthening release management workflows. The team delivered a critical bug fix to the stable versions ordering in the configuration comparison script, introduced granular prestable vs non-prestable reports with CI-side uploads to S3 and updated summaries, and extended the CI/CD pipeline to better support release management through stable-25-1-4, PR checks for rc-* branches, and recognition of prestable branches in parsing. These changes increased report reliability, reduced release-cycle risk, and broadened compatibility testing for prestable workflows, delivering clearer business value and faster time-to-value for customers.

Jun 1, 2025

June 2025 performance highlights for ydb-platform/ydb focused on stabilizing CI/test infrastructure, delivering scalable stress testing capabilities, and performing targeted bug fixes to maintain correctness across the data processing stack. Delivered a dedicated stress testing workflow with standardized StressFixture, expanded test harness capabilities (endpoint parameter, improved fixtures), and enhanced end-to-end test configuration. Fixed flaky tests related to predicate pushdown and AsciiCaseIgnore checks to restore OLAP coverage in CI. Streamlined CI workflows with naming consistency and improved end-to-end test build configurations. Reverted the scan generation retry fix to correct generation counter logic, preventing regressions and ensuring stable retries. Overall impact: reduced flaky test risk, faster feedback, and safer deployments through stronger test infrastructure and targeted bug fixes.
