Latest highlights (staging → main)
Key changes & impact
- Recording pipeline modernization: simplified Vonage voice/IVR recording flow, auto-uploaded media to Azure, and removed legacy recording toggles/callbacks.
- Database change control: disabled auto schema sync; moved to migration-driven releases for safer promotions.
- Security + CI/CD hygiene: cleaned pipeline/config secrets, standardized Node 22 workflow, and tightened health checks.
- Data quality improvements: refined coaching assessment export filtering and extended direct-auth token validity to 1 day.
- Operational cleanup: reduced noisy logging, streamlined event handling, and simplified storage URL normalization.
Status: staging release candidate ready; awaiting merge/push window approval
Focus next: Validic staging MVP & device validation
Notable high-impact merges (detail)
Representative examples
- API + recordings: Vonage voice/IVR recording flow simplified, auto-upload to Azure added, legacy recording flags/callbacks removed.
- Infra + CI/CD: migration-driven deploys enabled, Key Vault + IaC secrets cleanup, pipeline health checks and tooling standardized.
Staging merge timeline
Jul 2025 → Jan 2026
-
Jul–Aug 2025Security + infra hardening — Key Vault work, Pusher removal, CI pipeline normalization, and environment config cleanup.Outcome: tighter secrets posture and more reliable deploy flow.
-
Sep 2025Region + data stability sweep — SQL region experiments, rollbacks, export filtering improvements, and noisy logging reduced.Outcome: settings validated and stability preserved.
-
Mid Jan 2026Release hygiene — migration-driven deploys enabled, CI health checks tightened, and security scanning workflow refined.Outcome: safer promotions with explicit DB change control.
-
Late Jan 2026Recording pipeline refresh — Vonage voice/IVR recording flow simplified, auto-uploaded media to Azure, and legacy callbacks removed; token TTL extended.Outcome: more reliable recording capture + easier support access.

Release quality checklist (detail)
Pre-prod gate
- Smoke test voice/video (1:1 + conference), recording start/stop, and export paths.
- Run DB migrations in staging and validate no schema drift.
- Validate Key Vault access + deployment pipelines in staging.
- Monitor post-release: auth errors, call failures, migration logs, queue backlogs.
Next 2–4 weeks (roadmap)
Near-term outcomes
- Validic integration MVP in staging: user creation + nightly syncs for device data; begin staged QA.
- Integrations enablement: progressively validate Fitbit / Oura / CGM (Abbott approval flow in progress) as device testing completes.
- Clinical trial website deployment: finalize media/asset compression pipeline (video/image) → deploy to CDN with secure login + metrics.
- Production promotion: schedule staging → prod merge window; execute smoke tests; release with heightened bug reporting.
- Onboarding support (Ben start 2/16): AD + permissions; study/IRB access prerequisites; set cadence for daily scrums & reporting.
Needs / blockers
What I need from the team
- Device access for integration testing: Fitbit + Abbott CGM (and/or Oura) in office, plus test accounts where applicable.
- Approval for staging → production push: select merge window and confirm release owner / comms plan.
- Bug reporting during rollout: ask study teams to report issues quickly post-release (don’t assume it’s “known”).
