Over ten months, contributed to the ydb-platform/nbs repository by designing and implementing robust storage features, focusing on reliability, data integrity, and maintainability. Developed crash-resilient persistent tables, enhanced directory handle management, and introduced a three-stage unconfirmed write flow with restart recovery. Applied C++ and Python to optimize memory usage, enforce configuration correctness, and strengthen concurrency control. Refactored core subsystems for observability and modularity, improved error handling, and expanded test automation for both unit and integration scenarios. The work emphasized scalable backend development, efficient file system operations, and structured metrics collection, resulting in improved runtime efficiency and reduced operational risk.

Mar 1, 2026March 2026 monthly summary for ydb-platform/nbs focusing on business value and technical achievements. Key feature delivered: Filestore three-stage unconfirmed write flow and recovery, enabling reliable handling of unconfirmed data with restart resilience. This included data structures to store unconfirmed data, API endpoints to confirm/cancel additions, session management, configuration toggles, and recovery mechanisms to preserve data integrity across restarts. The feature was supported by refactors and comprehensive tests to maintain reliability and ease future maintenance. Major bugs fixed: Compaction Writes: fixed incorrect block handling in the compaction load process, ensuring the correct range IDs are used for data writes and adding tests to validate that all ranges are enqueued correctly during cross-boundary writes. Overall impact and accomplishments: Strengthened Filestore data integrity through the end-to-end unconfirmed write flow and restart recovery, improving resilience and consistency in the presence of sessions and restarts. Expanded test coverage, including integration tests with vhost scenarios, and targeted refactors to improve maintainability and reuse across the Filestore feature. Prepared the codebase for broader Filestore usage with configurable toggles and reusable helpers. Technologies/skills demonstrated: System design for multi-stage write workflows; API design for confirm/cancel operations; session management and restart recovery; feature toggles and configuration-driven behavior; refactoring for reuse; test automation (unit, integration, and Python-based tests including vhost scenarios); commit discipline and cross-repo collaboration.

Dec 1, 2025December 2025 focused on strengthening storage reliability and performance in ydb-platform/nbs by delivering targeted Filestore improvements and cleaning up stale data in Blockstore. Key outcomes include enabling Directory Handles for Filestore with local setup support and a configuration-driven rollout, widening feature compatibility to include binary features, and adding granular rollout via vhost_local. A cleanup pass removed obsolete unconfirmed blobs in Blockstore, boosting restart efficiency and overall reliability. These efforts deliver tangible business value through faster restarts, reduced operational risk, and scalable storage management across environments.
