Developed and delivered the VM Backup Retry API and Retry Workflow for the portworx/px-backup-api repository, enabling automated retries for failed or partially successful VM backups. The work involved designing and evolving the API using Go, Protocol Buffers, and gRPC, introducing new protobuf message types to support retry semantics and extending the Backup service with a method for orchestrating retry operations. A retry_parent field was added to facilitate traceability between original and retried backups. The implementation maintained backward compatibility, improving backup reliability and observability while reducing manual intervention, and demonstrated a strong focus on robust API design and change management.
April 2025 (Month: 2025-04): VM Backup Retry API and Retry Workflow were delivered in portworx/px-backup-api, enabling automatic retries for failed or partially successful VM backups. This included adding BackupRetryRequest and BackupRetryResponse protobuf message types, a RetryBackupResources method on the Backup service, and a retry_parent field in BackupInfo to reference the original backup for retry operations. Commit PB-10285: 08bd0c64eeb66c1e5cc8ab6f80e6f19f08fe3aa8. Business value: increased backup reliability, reduced manual remediation, and improved observability across the backup lifecycle. Technical scope and skills demonstrated: API design and evolution, protobuf/message modeling, service method extension, and change management with backward-compatible transitions.
