Worked on the nationalarchives/da-terraform-modules repository to enhance SQS Dead Letter Queue (DLQ) monitoring and observability using Terraform and AWS CloudWatch. Delivered features such as responsive DLQ alarms, configurable alarm periods, and improved metric accuracy to detect anomalies and reduce mean time to resolution for message processing issues. Refactored Terraform outputs for clarity and maintainability, enabling seamless integration with downstream services. Introduced new alarms to identify inactive queues and updated documentation to streamline module testing. Leveraged skills in Infrastructure as Code, monitoring automation, and HCL to improve reliability, data integrity, and operational visibility across cloud infrastructure workflows.

Feb 1, 2025February 2025 monthly summary for nationalarchives/da-terraform-modules: Delivered a Dead Letter Queue (DLQ) monitoring alert to enhance reliability and observability of message processing. Implemented a CloudWatch alarm that compares visible vs not visible messages over a 5-minute window to detect anomalies and alert on potential DLQ issues. This work is tracked under commit 170a81ab2d5f06c334d824a08d5d6e5b4c53a557, message: 'Alert when new messages enter the DLQ'. No major bugs fixed this month; focus was on feature delivery and monitoring improvements. Business impact: reduces MTTR for DLQ events, improves data integrity, and strengthens on-call reliability SLAs. Technologies: CloudWatch, Terraform modules, IaC, monitoring automation, Git.
