May 1, 2026May 2026 monthly summary for lsst-sqre/phalanx: Delivered Alert Service URL Configuration to enable configurable alert management across environments. Introduced environment property PROPS_alert__viewer__fits__service__url with templated value '{{ .Values.global.baseUrl }}/api/alerts', wired through to the deployment configuration. Committed change: e9ab8a61cc8a274a815a62b2ccf77d3c69ed60a9. This enables environment-specific alert routing, reduces post-deploy configuration drift, and improves deployment reliability across environments.

Jan 1, 2026Jan 2026: Delivered Portal Release 2026-01 for lsst-sqre/phalanx, including structured release notes that outline new features, enhancements, and fixes since the previous portal version. Versioning was strengthened through explicit appVersion bumps (portal-2025.5.0 and portal-2025.5.2-b1) captured in two commits, enabling clearer deployment sequencing and rollback options. While the input data does not enumerate individual bug tickets, the release notes serve as the consolidated record of fixes. Overall, the work improved customer transparency, reduced risk during portal upgrades, and laid groundwork for iterative, documented software releases. Technologies/skills demonstrated include release engineering, semantic versioning, release-note discipline, and version-controlled documentation.

Jul 1, 2025July 2025 monthly summary focusing on key accomplishments across lsst-sqre/phalanx: Portal UI/UX improvements, release version updates, deployment/config simplification, and privacy hardening. Key outcomes include increased tap history visibility (tapHistoryLimit 50 -> 1000), enablement of showUserInfo in idfprod, and bumping portal release versions. Security/privacy enhancements were implemented by removing image.tag in deployments and disabling showUserInfo/username controls where appropriate. Portal and Firefly version bumps (portal-2025.3.4, Firefly 2025.3.7) supported by committed changes. No critical bugs reported; changes improve user debugging experience, release hygiene, and data privacy in production.

Apr 1, 2025April 2025 monthly summary for lsst-sqre/phalanx: Delivered DP1 Data Processing Integration in the Portal and SIAv2 Data Access Configuration, enabling robust DP1 data display and SIAv2 image data access directly from the portal. The changes include a new default HiPS coverage map in the r band, exposure of showDatalinkTable, and a hard-coded base URL to stabilize configuration management for DP1 data. Additionally, SIAv2 integration was realized by configuring the SIAv2 service within the portal’s statefulset, adding PROPS_inventory.serverURLAry to specify the inventory server URLs, and enhancing PROPS_FIREFLY_OPTIONS to include SIAv2 service details. These updates improve data onboarding and visualization, reduce configuration drift, and streamline deployment. Technologies demonstrated include HiPS, SIAv2, StatefulSet configuration, and PROPS-based portal configuration.
