PROFILE

Sara Golemon

Worked on percona/percona-server-mongodb, delivering infrastructure modernization and new feature development across four months. Led the migration of build and test systems from SCons to Bazel, standardizing workflows and improving CI reliability for a large C++ codebase. Implemented proxy protocol support for Mongod and Mongos behind a feature flag, enabling safer proxy deployments and accurate connection budgeting. Addressed reliability issues in replica-set authentication tests by refining log analysis methods. The work demonstrated expertise in C++, Bazel, and CI/CD, resulting in more maintainable builds, faster feedback cycles, and a scalable foundation for ongoing cross-module integration and test optimization.

February 2025: Delivered proxy protocol support for Mongod/Mongos behind a feature flag in percona-server-mongodb, with tests gated to run only when the flag is enabled. Implemented correct usage of proxied source addresses for max connection calculations, enabling safer operation in proxy deployments. Enabled the feature flag path across the codebase to support controlled production rollout and broader compatibility with non-OCS proxy setups.

2024-12: Build system modernization and test reliability improvements for percona-server-mongodb. Key achievements include standardizing the build/test process across core modules by migrating critical targets from SCons to Bazel (fle_test; mongo db/repl; mongo client tests; C++ unit tests/benchmarks) through a series of commits (SERVER-97366, SERVER-98079, SERVER-98157, SERVER-98426, SERVER-98468, SERVER-98544), leading to more consistent builds, reduced maintenance, and faster feedback. Major bug fix: improved reliability of replica-set authentication tests by updating speculative-auth-replset.js to read logs directly via cat instead of ramlog (SERVER-98186). Overall impact: more deterministic CI, easier onboarding for contributors, and a foundation for continued cross-module optimization. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Bazel migration across a large C++ codebase, cross-module build/test orchestration, C++ unit tests/benchmarks, and log-based test analysis.

Month: 2024-11 — Performance-review-ready summary for percona/percona-server-mongodb. Led a major infrastructure modernization by migrating unit tests and build configurations from SCons to Bazel across multiple modules (enterprise/security, percona-server-mongodb, crypto, db/auth, util/net, client, ftdc). Standardized the build and test processes, consolidated test configurations, and improved test execution efficiency, contributing to faster feedback and more reliable CI. Impact highlights include establishing a scalable foundation for cross-module testing, reducing maintenance overhead, and enabling smoother onboarding for new contributors. The work aligns with ongoing efforts to improve build determinism, test isolation, and overall delivery cadence.
