February 2026 – Focused on cross-environment consistency, startup reliability, and credential-management robustness. Delivered Fee extension tag normalization across non-prod and prod EPP responses via a canonical tag approach, reducing registrar-specific tag sensitivity and version mixing. Improved startup reliability by using bash as the Docker image entrypoint and refining the Jetty start script to avoid execution issues. Simplified SQL credential storage to remove indirection, addressing reconnection failures and enabling smoother integration with a sidecar SQL proxy. All changes accompanied by targeted commits and validated in Sandbox, setting a foundation for broader extension normalization and more reliable deployments.

November 2025 monthly summary focusing on business value and technical achievements for google/nomulus. Key features delivered: - Release testing infrastructure: Offline compatibility tests — enabled by uploading compatibility test jars to each release folder to allow schema compatibility tests to run without GCS access. This supports testing during upcoming public access restrictions and reduces dependency on external storage. Major bugs fixed: - Release script cleanup — removed references to the deleted release/cloudbuild-deploy.yaml to prevent errors in the release script, improving automation reliability. - Disable buggy Fee v1.0 support — updated ProtocolDefinition to disable v1.0, adjusted tests, and removed v1.0 references from XML configuration to prevent use of the faulty implementation. RST testing and RFC 8748 alignment: - Align the schema with RFC 8748 final version and enhance testing capabilities: added a flag to CreateCdnsTld for using production name servers in sandbox, and refined managed-zone naming from DNS names. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Improved release reliability and testing coverage, even in restricted environments, with RFC-compliant schema and safer feature set. - Reduced risk from deprecated/broken features through proactive deprecation and cleanup. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Release automation and CI/CD hygiene, offline/test-in-production readiness, RFC schema alignment, DNS/tld naming strategies, and configuration-driven change management.
