Tigran Manasyan developed and maintained core features for the arenadata/SSM repository, focusing on distributed systems reliability, dynamic configuration, and deployment automation. He engineered resilient Master-Agent communication using the Actor Model and Java, introduced case-insensitive search across DAOs, and enabled per-node executor configuration with Hazelcast. His work included Docker-based HDFS client integration, dynamic config reloads, and robust logging upgrades, all aimed at improving uptime and operational agility. Tigran also enhanced test infrastructure with ephemeral port allocation and improved multi-cluster data movement by refining DistCp argument handling, demonstrating depth in backend development, concurrency, and system administration throughout the project.

October 2025 monthly performance for arenadata/SSM: Delivered resilient Master-Agent connections and unified status messaging to increase reliability and observability across the distributed control plane. The work focused on refactoring MasterActor and related components to improve connection management, adding configurable timeouts and retry intervals for agent-master connections, and standardizing status updates via a StatusMessageHandler interface for consistent handling across executor services. A critical bug fix in MasterActor was implemented as part of [ADH-6995], significantly reducing transient failures. Overall impact: higher reliability, lower MTTR, improved monitoring, and smoother deployments.

In August 2025, the focus was on stabilizing and improving the SSM test infrastructure. Delivered ephemeral port allocation for integration tests, removing bespoke free-port logic and relying on the OS to assign available ports (port 0). Implemented associated fixes to free-port handling at the SSM server level, addressing ADH-6442. These changes reduced test flakiness, improved CI reliability, and accelerated feedback for developers working on arenadata/SSM.
