November 2025 (2025-11) – gchq/sleeper monthly performance summary. Key features delivered: - DSL refactor and naming standardization across Sleeper DSLs (focused in the 5960 refactor): renamed a broad set of DSL classes to the new scheme (e.g., IngestDsl, PythonApiDsl, QueryDsl, CompactionDsl, etc.). Also renamed test classes and related DSL components to align with the unified naming convention, reducing onboarding time and future maintenance risk. - Test improvements and DSL base usage alignment: enhanced test clarity, legibility, and alignment with the base DSL usage, improving test coverage and reliability. - InMemoryState refactor and state management: separated state from drivers, centralized state declarations, renamed to inMemoryState, and simplified InMemoryStateStoreCommitter with corrected method ordering; this reduces coupling and improves correctness under concurrent access. - CDKDefinedVariants and account/region configuration: introduced CDKDefinedVariants for properties and wired Account/Region configurations; removed Account from CommonProperty and updated references/docs to reflect multi-region deployment capabilities. - Test infrastructure and property validation improvements: updated tests and helpers to reflect property changes, added tests for ID tag property and tagProperties, and strengthened validation logic to catch misconfigurations earlier. Major bugs fixed: - Break unintentional loop (fixes to prevent deployment/integration loops). - API surface and signature fixes: corrected method signatures, static usage, and related API polish to reduce misuse and integration friction. - Region/Deployment cleanup: removed unused Region field from SyncJarsRequest and cleaned up region/account handling in deployment tests; refined config and templates usage. - General test stability and cleanup: removed TODOs, fixed missing method usage, and stabilized spot-bug-related tests. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Significantly improved maintainability and consistency across the Sleeper DSLs, with safer multi-region deployments and clearer ownership of state management. The changes reduce onboarding friction, lower risk in deployments, and enable faster delivery of business features through more reliable test coverage and automated validation. Technologies, skills demonstrated: - Java-based DSL design and refactoring, test infrastructure hardening, CDK-based property definitions, advanced validation patterns, and STS-client integration; documentation and JavaDoc polish; deployment/test automation improvements.
