Aug 1, 2025August 2025 monthly review for beyondessential/tamanu focused on performance optimization, data governance, and privacy. Delivered three core features with solid deployment safety and clear business impact: (1) Logs.changes indexing optimization to boost query performance with a migration to B-tree and BRIN indexes across key columns, plus rollback to the original hash/B-tree indexes; (2) Data lineage and automation enhancements via table triggers integrated with dbt model generation and a database-level trigger to auto-update updated_at across all tables; and (3) Comprehensive data masking definitions across models to support privacy/compliance. The work included migrations, hooks, and rollback capabilities to minimize risk and ensure revertability.

Jul 1, 2025July 2025 performance summary for beyondessential/tamanu. Delivered five core features across the codebase, including centralized translation import, CI/CD environment isolation for the ops Node.js directory, refactor of encounter change types from enums to constant objects with TypeScript 5.8+ and erasableSyntaxOnly, enhanced Tamanu API session management, and DBT schema config standardization. Major bug fix: Mobile Prescription Data Migration corrected empty start dates and ensured updatedAt defaults to createdAt, improving data integrity across mobile app versions. These changes improved localization reliability, build consistency, runtime stability, and data correctness, enabling faster, safer deployments and easier maintainability. Key technologies and skills demonstrated include TypeScript 5.8+ features, erasableSyntaxOnly, robust error handling, refactor patterns (enums to const+type), improved CI/CD practices, and resilient session management.
