Worked on enhancing the reliability of parent reference updates in the dust-tt/dust repository by reintroducing a three-retry policy for critical backend operations. Focused on stabilizing update paths such as updateParentsFieldForConnector and updateDataSourceDocumentParents, the work involved wrapping these functions with a standardized withRetries mechanism to reduce the risk of transient failures. This approach improved data consistency and minimized the need for manual intervention when updating parent linkages across connectors and data sources. Leveraged TypeScript for backend development and database migration tasks, applying API development skills to ensure robust and resilient data handling within the repository’s core components.
