March 2026 monthly summary for zitadel/zitadel-charts focusing on feature delivery and release reliability improvements. Key feature delivered: Release Workflow Enhancement to ensure PostgreSQL subchart dependencies are resolved by registering the Bitnami Helm repository prior to chart packaging, enabling chart-releaser to package charts without missing subchart dependencies. This was implemented as part of the release workflow fix (commit 5d65e673da4a49743a8478d41be64a40d4d11525). Major bugs fixed: Resolved dependency resolution issue in the release workflow that prevented packaging of PostgreSQL subcharts due to an unregistered Bitnami repository, eliminating a common release-time failure point. Overall impact and accomplishments: Increased reliability and speed of chart packaging and releases for zitadel-charts, enabling more reproducible deployments and smoother onboarding for users deploying via Helm. Reduced manual intervention in the release process and lowered risk of failed releases. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Helm charts, Bitnami repository integration, CI/CD workflow automation, chart-releaser tooling, YAML-based configuration, Git version control, and release engineering best practices.

August 2025: The Zitadel charts repository focused on expanding distribution channels and improving chart documentation. Implemented OCI image publishing within the release workflow to enable OCI-based distribution of the Helm chart, and enabled README publishing to Artifact Hub by adding a symlink in charts/zitadel. These changes streamline release automation, improve chart discoverability, and enhance packaging reliability. No major bug fixes documented for this period.
