Mar 1, 2026March 2026 monthly summary for broadinstitute/depmap-portal focused on delivering robust predictive capabilities and an enhanced data processing pipeline. Key work centered on overhauling the Predictive Models API with CRUD endpoints for model configurations and results, adding a dedicated retrieval endpoint for predictive models, and implementing etag-based caching to improve response times and reduce server load. I updated the database schema/migrations to support predictive models and exposed a comprehensive Breadbox client interface for end-to-end model management (configs, results, and bulk uploads). In parallel, I introduced the Daintree prediction pipeline with model configuration, data processing, and result publishing, and integrated RNAi with CRISPR to improve processing times. The month included end-to-end testing and integration work to ensure reliability of the new capabilities.

Feb 1, 2026February 2026 performance summary for broadinstitute/depmap-portal: Delivered user-focused features and stability improvements that unlock faster insights, strengthen data integrity, and streamline operations. Key achievements include enabling on-the-fly correlation computations via Breadbox's new endpoint, improving search quality (exact-match prioritization and deduplication) in Breadbox, reducing user friction with the simple-mode UI change, increasing job reliability through Sparkles auto-resubmission, and a notable performance uplift in taiga_ids preprocessing. Additional improvements include build/deploy optimizations for Elara and targeted data-pipeline hardening (cascade-delete safety, canonicalization error handling, and data mapping fixes) that reduce risk and support future predictive insights.
