February 2026 monthly summary for Facets-cloud/facets-modules focused on delivering business value through gateway fabric enhancements, domain/CRD improvements, and observability upgrades. Key features delivered include NGINX Gateway Fabric Enhancements and Domain/CRD Improvements (domain config moved inside spec, improved CRD fields, structured logging, GRPCRoute support, documentation updates, Helm compatibility, and installation reliability improvements) and Observability and Metrics Enhancements for Gateway (PodMonitor-based metrics scraping and updated Prometheus input). Major bug fixes include removing hardcoded labels to avoid selector mismatches, enabling access logs by default, adding missing fields, using the official kubectl image for the gateway API CRD installer, addressing CodeRabbit review comments, and switching to PodMonitor for metrics scraping. The changes collectively improved installation reliability, observability, and resource management with clearer visibility into gateway performance. This work demonstrates strong technical execution across Kubernetes-based CRD design, Helm-based deployment reliability, and modernized monitoring/observability stacks, directly contributing to faster onboarding, reduced operational toil, and improved production stability.
