Worked on the noobaa/noobaa-operator repository to enhance reliability when integrating with external PostgreSQL databases. Focused on backend development using Go and Kubernetes Operators, the main contribution involved fixing a configuration issue where the POSTGRES_HOST environment variable could cause misreads when external secrets were used. By clearing this variable in ExternalPgSecret mode, the operator now correctly reads the host from the mounted secret path, preventing configuration conflicts within the noobaa-core container. This change reduced deployment-time errors and downtime risk for users relying on external PostgreSQL, demonstrating careful debugging and a disciplined approach to maintaining stable operator environments.
