Worked on the bbc/sofie-core repository to design and deliver a generalized Ingest API, focusing on CRUD endpoints for playlists, rundowns, segments, and parts to support external system integration and scalable ingest workflows. The approach emphasized simplifying and consolidating OpenAPI specifications, removing internal and studio-specific identifiers, and introducing conditional update support using If-Match (ETag) headers to enhance data integrity. All changes were implemented with careful attention to backwards compatibility and maintainability, using YAML for API definitions and RESTful service design. The work improved onboarding for new integrations and reduced maintenance overhead without introducing customer-reported bugs during the development period.

October 2023 summary: Focus remained on simplifying ingestion-related APIs in the bbc/sofie-core repo to enable a more flexible, scalable ingestion workflow and reduce integration complexity. Delivered the Ingest API Genericization by removing studio IDs from ingest endpoints, simplifying API surface area and enabling a generic ingestion process across pipelines. This refactor improves onboarding for new integrations, reduces surface area risk, and sets the stage for future enhancements without breaking existing flows. No customer-reported bugs were identified this month, and stability remained high thanks to targeted refactor and clear commit hygiene. Technologies demonstrated include API design/refactor, backwards-compatibility considerations, and strong commit traceability.
