April 2026

14 Commits • 4 Features

Apr 1, 2026

April 2026 (2026-04) monthly summary for HHS/simpler-grants-gov. Delivered security, deployment, observability, and tooling enhancements across production and grantee environments, with a focus on business value and maintainable infrastructure. Strengthened security posture through TLS/SSL enhancements and RSA-4096 certificate support; expanded multi-environment deployment and user session controls; improved operational visibility with New Relic, Fluent Bit, and CloudWatch/OpenSearch adjustments; and accelerated secure release cycles via tooling and vulnerability-management upgrades.

March 2026

13 Commits • 1 Features

Mar 1, 2026

March 2026 (2026-03) focused on strengthening observability, security, and deployment reliability for HHS/simpler-grants-gov. Key features delivered include centralized logging through Lambda-based forwarders for OpenSearch, RDS, and ALB into New Relic, enabling faster debugging and incident response. Security posture was improved by remediating CVEs across analytics and API, including base image updates, npm package upgrade, and Anchore ignore rules for Python CVEs lacking fixes. Deployment stability was enhanced via Metabase Terraform fixes and upgrade to 1.55.22, CloudFront hardening (HTTPS redirects in dev), and a pydantic-core rollback to ensure API/database migrations succeed. In staging, memory was increased to 4GB to address 5xx errors, reducing instability. These efforts collectively reduce risk, improve mean-time-to-detect/repair, and support more reliable releases.
