June 2025: Delivered a modular macOS build architecture for pomerium/pomerium by externalizing macOS-specific build configurations into a dedicated mac-builds repository. Key changes include moving macOS Goreleaser config to a separate file, updating the main Goreleaser to exclude macOS builds, and adding a CI workflow that triggers builds from the mac-builds repo. These changes decouple platform-specific concerns from the core repo, reducing maintenance burden and enabling faster, safer iteration of the macOS build process.
