October 2025 (datacite/lupo) – Key delivery focused on making the DOI data ingestion pipeline more reliable, scalable, and maintainable. Key features delivered: - DOI Import Workflow Improvements and Refactor: introduced a dedicated worker, aligned class naming, added queue concurrency controls, and refactored to embed worker logic into the main DOI import job to improve reliability and scalability. - Commit-driven changes include: Add OtherDoiImportWorker; Rename to other_doi_job_worker; Add shoryuken group to avoid overloading the queue workers; Remove worker and plug into the original job. Major bugs fixed: - No major bugs reported for this repository this month; focus was on reliability and throughput improvements of the ingestion pipeline. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Significantly improved reliability and scalability of DOI data ingestion, enabling more consistent throughput and reducing risk of worker overload. Refactoring simplifies maintenance by embedding worker logic into the main import flow and aligning naming. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Ruby/Rails background jobs, Shoryuken/AWS SQS queue concurrency controls, code refactoring for reliability, clear naming conventions, and pipeline optimization for ingestion workloads.
