This improved email deliverability, reliability, and end-to-end visibility. - CFS Authentication, Domain Redirects, and Prod Deployment: consolidated CFS authentication across environments; enabled external domain redirects; restructured Cognito placement during migration (fronting CFS in staging/integration, then removing Cognito); disabled CFS scheduler in production and enabled dynamic scheduler; removed Cognito user pool per migration; production domain adjustments to reduce risk. - Data Platform DNS and Environment Readiness: configured DNS CNAMEs for admin/open-data endpoints; granted development Terraform access; controlled environment feature flags (UK9_ENABLED) to ensure correct behavior across accounts. - FTS Migration Notices: added DP-1715 environment variable to pass FTS notices S3 bucket details to the FTS-Migration task, enabling reliable processing of notices. Major bugs fixed and stability improvements: - Addressed email reliability gaps by enabling SES logging, dashboards, and healthcheck coverage for SES-based sends, reducing blind spots in production. - Stabilized cross-environment deployment by migrating Cognito usage, introducing domain redirects in prod, and toggling the CFS scheduler to minimize risk during migration. - DNS/ENV readiness mitigations reduced misconfigurations and feature drift with explicit UK9_ENABLED controls and updated admin/open-data endpoints. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Substantial increase in system reliability, observability, and deployment safety across email, authentication, and environment management. - Clear business value: more trustworthy email communications, safer production deployments, faster feature readiness, and more predictable environments for developers and operators. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - AWS SES, DKIM, JSON logging, SNS/SQS, Grafana dashboards; healthcheck enhancement - Identity and access management migration (Cognito) and domain redirects - Infrastructure as Code and CI/CD considerations (Terraform access, environment flags) - DNS management, environment readiness, and feature flag orchestration

Prepared domain switch for private-beta hosting with hosted zones and redirected telemetry/tools, and implemented continuous visibility improvements with a new overview dashboard and relaxed WAF rules. Also completed production-scale updates and archiving readiness by provisioning a bucket for deprecated BD dumps. These changes reduce operating overhead, strengthen security, improve resilience, and speed up compliant deployments.
