December 2024 — Focused on strengthening core data capabilities, expanding connectors, and improving front-end resilience and UX. Delivered significant core data layer enhancements, enabling folder listing API, upsert of nodes with documents, a robust backfill workflow with conflict resolution, and optimized node data retrieval, reducing unnecessary count queries. Expanded connectors to upsert folders with accurate title and MIME types metadata for Google Drive and MS connectors, with MIME type consistency enforced. Front-end/API improvements include the addition of parentId parameters across core/front APIs, restoration of the search endpoint with proper filtering, and targeted bug fixes (upsertQueue, invalid endpoint) to stabilize user workflows. Reliability and performance gains were achieved via parallel processing in connectors, increased retry delays and rate-limit handling, and improved logging and error handling. Google Drive migration features and front-end migrator scaffolding were enhanced for smoother migrations. These changes collectively increase data fidelity, reduce manual work, shorten time-to-insight, and improve system resilience and developer velocity.
