During April 2025, Ripudaman focused on enhancing the deployment environment for the Fan-in service in the Mrunal2148/ser516-group-26 repository. He migrated the Dockerfile base image from python:3.11-slim to eclipse-temurin:11-jdk-focal, aligning the deployment with updated runtime requirements and improving security. Ripudaman ensured that essential Python tooling, including python3 and python3-pip, was installed to support both build and runtime tasks. He also addressed a recurring apt-get update issue, stabilizing the build process. This backend development work, primarily using Docker and Python, improved deployment reliability and reproducibility, contributing to smoother CI/CD pipelines for the Fan-in service.
