Sep 1, 2025September 2025 focused on deployment reliability and environment parity for the dvsa/vol-app. Key work included: moving the PDF Converter service between environments (prod disabled, prep enabled) with adjusted ALB listener rules and explicit routing priority; introducing configurable host and container ports, removing container port options, and enabling per-environment API ports via set_custom_port; and fixing the ECS load balancer rule nesting for the renderer-batch service to resolve a configuration error. These efforts improve deployment safety, reduce environment drift, and strengthen the platform's ability to scale and route traffic predictably across environments.
