July 2025 highlights for NMDSdevopsServiceAdm/DataEngineering: Key features delivered include an MVP refactor of the CQC Changes API to utilize the Changes API with an interim StepFunction for delta ingest, plus fixes to StepFunction syntax, relocation of Glue IAM policy to the StepFunctions role, and new IAM permissions enabling Glue job runs. Delta pipeline orchestration was consolidated into a single StepFunction with JSONPath support, validation for bronze state reconciliation, and updated testing to cover providers delta and optional milliseconds. The delta pipeline configuration was expanded (scheduling, crawlers, and notifications) and a separate delta dataset for reconciliation was introduced with appropriate permissions to prevent data overwrites. Location data handling was enhanced with delta downloads in parallel, an expanded validation stage, and improved testing scaffolding. Additional pipeline improvements include introducing a new ASC-WDS StepFunction, tidy StepFunctions and Lambda parameter updates, and Terraform enhancements using native string params. Comprehensive testing, linting, and code quality work, along with improved logging and testing structure, increased resilience and maintainability.
