Monthly summary for December 2024 focusing on Rahat UI delivery and deployment reliability. Completed two critical updates: (1) Cambodia Production Deployment - Correct Environment File to ensure production uses the Cambodia-specific environment, and (2) EL Release CI/CD Workflow for Automated Docker Builds to support release-triggered builds and image pushes for rahat-ui and community-tool-ui. These changes improved deployment reliability, reduced misconfiguration risk, and accelerated release cycles for Cambodia production environments, while demonstrating strong CI/CD, Docker, and Node tooling skills.

November 2024 monthly summary for rahataid/rahat-ui and rahataid/rahat-platform. Key features delivered include Stellar CI/CD pipelines across environments for rahat-ui and community-tool-ui, unifying builds and Docker image pushes across Cambodia stage, Malawi stage, Kenya stage, Acchham Pilot Cambodia, and production. This work involved a series of commits to implement and adjust the CI/CD definitions, such as add: Stellar action, add: Stellar CICD, add: Cambodia Stage CICD, mod: Cambodia Stage CICD, add: Acchham Pilot Cambodia, add: Malawi CICD, del: Malawi CICD, readd: Malawi CICD, add: Cambodia Prod CICD. Additionally, a Dependency management migration removed pnpm-lock.yaml, signaling a transition to a new dependency strategy. In rahat-platform, Stellar Platform CI/CD was added to build and push Docker images for beneficiary and rahat services to Docker Hub, triggered by pushes or PRs to the stellar-platform branch or via workflow_dispatch. This work is captured in commits like add: Stellar platform CICD. Major bugs fixed: none explicitly listed in the input data; the focus was on stabilizing and unifying CI/CD pipelines and dependency management to reduce deployment risk. Overall impact and accomplishments: established automated, consistent release processes across two repos and environments, enabling faster, safer deployments and better traceability; improved cross-repo collaboration and alignment with modern tooling.
