Dec 1, 2025December 2025 — Delivered Dynamic Resharding and Shard Layout Upgrade for nearcore. Implemented Shard Layout V3, encapsulated shard_layout in EpochConfig for controlled access, and added dynamic resharding features (config, TrieSplit, proposed splits) to improve scalability and efficiency of shard management. Completed runtime config support for dynamic resharding and established a workflow for proposed splits, enabling responsive adjustments to workload and topology. Additionally, performed dependency stability maintenance by temporarily ignoring rustls-pemfile in audit configurations pending upgrade compatibility with Rust 1.88. These efforts reduce operational risk, accelerate shard reconfiguration, and set up a robust upgrade path.

Nov 1, 2025November 2025 focused on delivering scalable sharding improvements in nearcore through a guarded Dynamic Resharding Protocol Feature and a modular refactor of the shard layout system, alongside proactive dependency hygiene. Key changes include adding shard_layout to EpochInfo, removing deprecated fishermen code, and splitting shard_layout into separate modules with an updated indicatif dependency to remove number_prefix, reducing security risk and maintenance cost. These workstreams lay the groundwork for dynamic, safe resharding at scale and faster iteration cycles.

Sep 1, 2025September 2025 monthly summary for nearcore. Key feature delivered: Trie Storage Abstraction with a generic storage interface for trie split across disk and memory, introducing GenericTrieInternalStorage and updating related structures to use the generic interface. This enables the trie split logic to operate with multiple storage backends, improving flexibility and code reusability. Major bugs fixed: none reported this month. Overall impact and accomplishments: improved modularity and backend flexibility of the memtrie/storage layer, reducing coupling and enabling future backend integrations and performance tuning. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Rust generics and trait-based design, storage backend abstraction, code refactoring, collaborative code reviews, and backend architecture thinking. Business value: enables faster experimentation with storage backends, reduces maintenance burden, and positions the codebase for scalable trie storage.

Jul 1, 2025July 2025 monthly summary focusing on key accomplishments in near/nearcore. Delivered targeted testing to strengthen sharded-network correctness. Implemented a missing chunks isolation test that verifies missing chunks affect only the relevant shard and do not impact other shards, including congested shard scenarios. The test also exercises cross-shard transactions to validate isolation guarantees. This work reduces risk of cross-shard interference in deployments and supports safer releases.
