Jun 1, 2026June 2026—Polaris pre-production enhancements and refined session routing. Delivered two main feature-area improvements aimed at stabilizing testing, reducing pre-prod risk, and accelerating production readiness. First, navigation and redirect improvements for pre-production: updated nginx redirect URLs to point to new home page locations across various launch paths, resulting in smoother navigation and fewer misroutes during testing. Second, load balancer cookie compatibility and environment detection improvements: added support for legacy BIGipServer cookies and new C/F-prefixed LBsessioncookie formats, and normalized cookies to enable case-insensitive environment switching, improving session reliability and accurate environment detection in pre-prod. These changes reduce deployment risk, improve testing fidelity, and enable a cleaner handoff to production.

Jul 1, 2025July 2025 monthly summary for CPS-Innovation/Polaris. Focused on stabilizing and simplifying the OutSystems authentication handover configuration across environments. Key feature delivered: OutSystems authentication proxy whitelist simplification. By removing environment-specific app paths and retaining only the base domain, authentication handover is streamlined, configuration updates are reduced, and cross-environment consistency is improved. This work reduces maintenance overhead and minimizes drift between development, QA, and production environments.

This improves session continuity across services and simplifies security posture. Commit: cba8fec8c1ec6dbe2dbe1bc265260cd4db90a663 (#FCT2-7367). - PR Build Stabilization: Implemented a temporary white-list for the global navigation blob storage in pre-production and QA to address PR build issues and ensure components relying on blob storage can access during authentication handover. This reduces PR build flakiness and speeds up feedback cycles. Commit: 4d38e7405009e797b8826580c2917e672a7b8214 (#FCT2-7367). Major bugs fixed - PR build instability resolved by the temporary blob storage whitelist, enabling stable authentication handover across environments in PR builds. Commit as above. Overall impact and accomplishments - Business value: smoother PR workflows with reduced build failures, faster validation of changes affecting authentication and storage access, and improved reliability for cross-service authentication handovers. - Technical achievements: implemented a scalable proxy-exposed authentication token refresh flow and a controlled, temporary storage access policy to stabilize pre-prod/QA PR builds. Technologies/skills demonstrated - Nginx proxy configuration for token endpoints, blob storage access control, temporary production-like handover mechanisms, and coordination of pre-prod/QA stability efforts.
