π 2026-Q1 Overview
π·πΎ Introducing Jobnik: Our Job Management Ecosystemβ
We are incredibly excited to unveil Jobnik, our new distributed ecosystem designed to handle complex, hierarchical workflows!
By separating orchestration from task execution, Jobnik enables us to build highly scalable and resilient systems.
The new architecture is built on three main pillars:
- Jobnik Manager: The central orchestration service acting as the single source of truth for state, persistence, and priority-based task queues.
- Jobnik SDK: A resilient, type-safe TypeScript library that simplifies communication with the Manager, complete with built-in observability and stability patterns.
- Worker Boilerplate: A production-ready template repository to instantly kickstart your task-processing services with pre-configured infrastructure.
π Dive into the details: We've thoroughly documented everything you need to get started. You can find the full architecture overview, along with links to all the specific implementation guides, API docs, and boilerplate setups right here.
ποΈ Databasesβ
π Welcome OpenShift Postgres Operatorβ
We have officially transitioned away from Azure Managed Postgres and deployed the OpenShift Postgres Operator!
This major infrastructure upgrade gives us total control over our database environments.
We can now easily deploy multiple database instances, seamlessly enable SSL certificates, and spin up different versions of PostgreSQL depending on specific service needs.
π Upgrading to Postgres 15β
Piggybacking on our new Postgres Operator capabilities, we successfully upgraded our databases from PostgreSQL 13 to PostgreSQL 15!
This upgrade brings better performance, improved sorting algorithms, and advanced SQL features to our backend services.
π Centralized pgAdmin Workspaceβ
Tired of manually configuring database hosts and tracking down connection strings?
We have deployed a centralized pgAdmin stack!
Instead of every developer installing pgAdmin locally and constantly updating host configurations, we now maintain all database hosts centrally.
All developers can easily access the relevant databases from one simple, shared web interface.
This completely eliminates connection misunderstandings and saves valuable setup time when hosts change.
π Read more and access the workspace: Check out the Centralized pgAdmin Documentation.
π Observabilityβ
π Custom Subdirectory Size Metricsβ
We enhanced our storage monitoring by adding a custom script to our SFTP-Go node_exporter.
It now runs a background job to scan parent directories (like /mnt), calculate the size of each immediate subdirectory,
and export those metrics via the Prometheus textfile collector.
This gives us clear, granular visibility into folder sizes so we can track storage usage effectivelyβespecially useful for our SFTP-Go sub-folders!
π See how this integrates with our storage: Review the updated SFTP-Go Documentation.
π SSL Certificate Exporterβ
No more surprise expired certificates! We have officially added the Cert Exporter to our monitoring stack. This tool actively monitors our SSL certificates and helps us keep track of their validity status.
π Learn how to configure it: Check out the dedicated documentation in the Cert Exporter Knowledge Base.
