During December 2024, Res Setkk focused on modernizing release workflows and improving CI/CD reliability for the kyma-project/istio and kyma-project/api-gateway repositories. Leveraging Bash, YAML, and GitHub Actions, Res introduced a reusable integration-tests workflow, clarified workflow naming, and automated Docker image publishing to ensure downstream tests consume correct artifacts. The work also included aligning documentation and workflow file locations for better maintainability and onboarding. By removing redundant integration tests from release branches and adding Slack notifications for new releases, Res reduced release-cycle friction and improved artifact integrity, demonstrating a strong grasp of workflow automation and documentation best practices.
