Peter van der Merwe developed and refined the architecture for the NHSDigital/ftrs-directory-of-services repository over three months, focusing on modularity, deployment reliability, and secure API management. He introduced C4 model-based diagrams and automated their deployment using GitHub Actions and YAML, enabling clear architectural visibility and repeatable artifact delivery. Peter modularized the system architecture into multiple files, added new ETL and API management components, and defined deployment configurations to support scalability and maintainability. By centralizing all external-facing APIs through APIM, he improved security, governance, and observability, establishing a robust foundation for consistent API behavior and future system growth.

March 2025 focused on establishing FtRS architecture visibility and reliable artifact deployment for the Find the Right Service (FtRS) workstream in NHSDigital/ftrs-directory-of-services. Delivered initial architecture diagrams using the C4 model and a GitHub Actions workflow to publish these diagrams as a website. Fixed a deployment pipeline issue to restore CI/CD for architecture artifacts, enabling repeatable deployments and faster feedback to stakeholders.
