Victor restored TLS support for the OTLP HTTP exporter in the apollographql/apollo-mcp-server repository, addressing compatibility issues that arose after upgrading the reqwest dependency. Working in Rust, Victor enabled the reqwest-rustls feature within the opentelemetry-otlp stack, ensuring secure HTTPS telemetry export to both cloud and on-premises endpoints. He added a regression test to confirm that HTTPS export attempts reached the connection layer, resolving previous errors related to unsupported URL schemes. This work reinforced the stability and reliability of observability data delivery, demonstrating depth in backend development and careful management of workspace dependencies and feature unification changes.
