January 2025 results: Delivered reliability, data resilience, and policy-driven routing improvements across the notification stack. Key wins include a Poetry-based development bootstrap enabling Flask migrations in the local/dev environment, a new PT service skip Freshdesk feature flag with email routing and updated templates, and S3-backed GC organisation data retrieval with a local JSON fallback to ensure data availability. Implemented rate limiting on v2/notifications/bulk to prevent abuse and added tests. Enhanced admin/UI quality with copy refresh, a delivery report UI refactor and template link, and API/documentation improvements (docstring and parameter rename). Upgraded dependencies (notification-utils 53.1.0) and introduced Poetry-based Makefile changes for consistent tooling. Expanded environment config with GC_ORGANISATIONS_BUCKET_NAME, Salesforce contact in staging, calendar MIME type support, and CI/CD tooling upgrades (helm-s3). Initiated dedicated GC Organisations data storage in notification-terraform and ensured Lambda access.
