Worked on the ministryofjustice/modernisation-platform-environments repository to enhance database reliability by extending string size support in Amazon RDS. Addressed the risk of data truncation for larger text fields by updating the RDS configuration, specifically setting the max_string_size parameter to EXTENDED. This change allowed the database to handle larger string data types more effectively, supporting evolving application requirements. The implementation was carried out using Infrastructure as Code principles with Terraform and HCL, ensuring reproducibility and maintainability of the configuration. The work focused on AWS cloud infrastructure, demonstrating a methodical approach to improving data handling without introducing new bugs.
