Feb 1, 2026February 2026 monthly summary for percona/percona-server-mongodb. The focus this month was strengthening CI reliability, accelerating triage, and expanding observability through burn-in automation and targeted tooling improvements. Delivered several key features that enhance test coverage and reproducibility, while fixing critical reliability bugs that impacted test stability and teardown behavior. Key features delivered: - Burn-in generation from bazel-based resmoke suites (SERVER-106100) to surface flaky tests earlier. - Trigger core analysis tasks from bazel resmoke tasks (SERVER-117045) to streamline triage. - Include original srcs as data for burn-in targets (SERVER-118901) for improved reproducibility. - Collect bazel debug information on timeouts (SERVER-119173) to accelerate root-cause analysis. - Upgrade db-contrib-tool to v2.2.3 (SERVER-119079) for updated tooling and compatibility. Major bugs fixed: - Use FAIL as the Evergreen test status for timeouts (SERVER-118622). - Ensure other teardown tasks run when generate.tasks times out (SERVER-119150). - Avoid duplicate labels in resmoke burn-in targets (SERVER-119817). - Revert changes to //buildscripts/resmokeconfig:core (SERVER-119488). - Source .gdbinit before many file descriptors are opened (SERVER-103201). Impact and value: - Increases CI reliability and time-to-triage, enabling faster feedback loops and more stable releases. - Improves observability with richer burn-in data and debugging information, reducing MTTR for timeouts and flaky tests. Technologies and skills demonstrated: - Bazel-based resmoke workflows, burn-in orchestration, and resmoke_suite_test enhancements. - Evergreen integration and test status instrumentation. - Enhanced debugging with bazel/resmoke telemetry and GDB readiness. - Tooling upgrades and CI stability mindset to minimize regressions.

Nov 1, 2025November 2025: Key reliability and platform-coverage improvements for percona/percona-server-mongodb. Delivered cross-platform workspace status command enhancements with a common flag, removal of deprecated scripts, and improved environment variable handling to boost reliability across diverse setups. Introduced a timeout mechanism for Resmoke hooks to prevent hangs triggered by the analyzer, enhancing test resilience. Updated packaging compatibility for Amazon Linux 2023 arm64 by aligning distro names for enterprise builds. Explored telemetry instrumentation for resmoke tests via Bazel using OpenTelemetry with Evergreen metrics, though the change was reverted within the period. Also enacted stability-focused fixes by reverting a previous telemetry-upload path and reducing fuzzing task load to stabilize tests. Business value: stronger cross-platform consistency, better observability, and more stable CI/test pipelines, enabling faster issue diagnosis and safer releases.

Jun 1, 2025June 2025 monthly summary for percona/percona-server-mongodb. Delivered substantial enhancements to the resmoke/Bazel test framework and CI tooling, enabling faster, more reliable multiversion testing and streamlined CI workflows. Implemented dynamic resmoke config generation from Bazel targets, a Bazel-based test execution engine, suite sharding with shard index/count handling, exclusive port allocation, and enforcement of Evergreen task ordering for multiversion tests. Removed unused EvergreenApi from the task timeout calculation to simplify logic. Stabilized Bazel resmoke tasks in Evergreen by excluding unintended variants to prevent incorrect triggers.
