Jan 1, 2026

January 2026 focused on delivering Python 3.13 compatibility across Percona Server for MongoDB, improving Windows readiness, and upgrading the build toolchain to enhance cross‑platform stability and upgrade readiness. The work tightened Python 3.13 support end-to-end—updating time handling, glob patterns, venv detection, and tests—while addressing Windows-specific tooling, packaging, and path handling. A major Bazel/Python toolchain upgrade reduced build failures and streamlined MSI packaging; together, these efforts improved customer upgrade paths, CI feedback, and overall portability of the codebase across Linux, macOS, and Windows.

November 2025 Highlights for percona/percona-server-mongodb: Implemented telemetry and robustness improvements in the Resmoke test framework to enhance traceability, reliability, and developer feedback loops. Key features delivered include capturing the active Git branch name in Resmoke telemetry, enabling precise linking of test results to code branches, and hardening local test invocations by skipping empty parameters for mongod/mongos to prevent unnecessary command-line arguments. Major bugs fixed involve stabilizing local Resmoke invocations when parameters are empty, removing edge-case failures and reducing flaky test behavior. These changes collectively improve CI feedback speed, debugging efficiency, and overall test reliability. Technologies and skills demonstrated include OpenTelemetry instrumentation in Resmoke, use of GitOrigin-RevId metadata for traceability, robust test automation practices, and CI-focused engineering with a clear impact on release readiness.
