Worked on the Backbase/stream-services repository to deliver a release upgrade focused on SDK compatibility and future-proofing. Upgraded the project to SSDK 20.0.0-rc.1 and ensured readiness for Spring Boot 3.5.5, emphasizing stability and forward-compatibility rather than bug fixes. The approach included thorough documentation updates, with changes to the changelog and README in Markdown to clearly communicate release details and compatibility information. Prioritized release management and documentation skills to support upcoming QA and regression cycles. The work centered on maintaining a stable codebase while preparing the service for new platform requirements, reflecting a methodical and detail-oriented engineering process.
