Nov 1, 2024November 2024 monthly summary for GetDKAN/dkan: Implemented Datastore Deletion Robustness for Missing Resources by adding checks for resource existence before dispatching events and cleaning up job-store references. This prevents errors when a resource is already missing, improving reliability of datastore management and reducing operational risk in data workflows.
