June 2025 performance summary for konturio/disaster-ninja-cd. Key initiatives focused on stabilizing and scaling the platform through a major database upgrade, a comprehensive release for the layers-stac-api with ingress exposure, secure secret management during migrations, and targeted improvements to test infrastructure and event data pipelines. The work enhances data integrity, security, deployment reliability, and operational efficiency, enabling safer, faster releases and improved customer-facing performance across environments (development, testing, and production). Technologies and practices demonstrated include Kubernetes, Helm, PostgreSQL 17, Ingress/SSL, CORS, secret management, multi-repo deployments, pgBackRest, Patroni, and GitOps. Business value highlights: - Improved data integrity, security, and compatibility by upgrading PostgreSQL to v17 across Keycloak and User Profile API. - Streamlined external access and routing via an end-to-end Ingress-enabled layers-stac-api release. - Reduced operational risk through containerized secret management and a secure migration path for stac-fastapi. - Increased testing reliability and predictability by enforcing primary DB usage and dedicated test replicas for Insights API, and simplifying Event API DB topology. - Enhanced reliability and stability of raster data processing indirectly supported by the above changes.

May 2025 performance highlights for konturio/disaster-ninja-cd focused on safe database modernization, high-availability for Keycloak, and deployment automation, delivering tangible business value through improved reliability, uptime, and faster feature rollout. Key features and changes include PostgreSQL 17 upgrades with runtime configuration across critical services, HA enhancements for Keycloak, and comprehensive frontend deployment tag/Chart management across dev/test environments. Reverts to ensure configuration stability, plus runtime and proxy improvements for better resiliency.

April 2025 monthly summary for konturio/disaster-ninja-cd: Delivered deployment stabilization and platform readiness through a series of version-management improvements, DB upgrades, and environment hygiene. Key outcomes include removing hard-coded pgbackrest versions so PGO auto-detects correct version, upgrading to PGO 5.7.4, stabilizing pgbackrest concurrency with a process-max cap, upgrading dev/prod Insights DBs to PostgreSQL 17 with overlays and replicas, and frontend deployment tag updates to keep dev/test environments aligned with feature branches. These efforts reduce drift, improve backup reliability, enable faster feature cycles, and support scalable, production-grade deployments across CI/CD pipelines.

Monthly summary for 2025-03 covering konturio/disaster-ninja-fe and konturio/disaster-ninja-cd. Highlights include: CI workflow reliability with explicit IMAGE_TAG propagation; localization expansion for Belarusian and Russian in user profiles; UI/UX improvements for mobile Kontur apps v2 (bottom sheets) and FE enhancements using maxzoom-based indicators; deployment automation with job-watcher-controller across dev/test/prod; and quality improvements such as trailing-slash removal, Helm boolean quoting, Sentry DSN update, and API deprecation cleanup. Business value realized: more reliable, faster, and localized releases with consistent tagging and better error tracking. Technologies demonstrated: GitHub Actions, Helm, Kubernetes, S3 path configurations, multi-env deployments, and image tagging strategies.

February 2025: Delivered reliability, scalability, and security improvements across disaster-ninja-cd and disaster-ninja-fe, focusing on higher availability, improved maintenance, and faster, more secure deployments. Key features deployed include production database replicas for critical services (User Profile API, Keycloak, Layers), development/testing PostgreSQL maintenance tuning for Insights API DB, cross-env job-watcher-controller deployment via Kubernetes manifests and Helm, disaster-ninja-fe frontend upgrade to the latest image, and CI/CD security enhancements in the frontend repo. No critical bugs fixed this month; main work centered on performance tuning, deployment automation, and security hardening. These changes reduce downtime risk, enable better load handling, accelerate release cycles, and improve developer/operator experience across environments.

January 2025 monthly highlights for konturio/disaster-ninja-cd: Major HA, scalability, and operational hygiene improvements across Event API, Layers DB, and user/profile services. Implemented and validated switchover workflows, introduced and cleaned up replicas, migrated backups to Hetzner object storage, and tuned database parameters. Extensive cleanup reduced resource drift while preserving continuity and performance across environments.

December 2024: Delivered core resilience and on-prem readiness for the disaster-ninja-cd project by migrating basemap storage to MinIO, tightening environment variable management, and hardening database high-availability and replication workflows.
