Notes
This sprint we welcomed our new contractor, Asha Sharma to the team. Asha brings depth of experience in Python and AWS, which will be very helpful as we continue to expand our API offerings and make the best of the cloud platform tools we have available. Great to have you onboard, Asha!
We presented a finalized specification of our forthcoming hierarchies endpoint. We also began work on developing a new specification for external customer data. Look for details in future sprint.
We tried making some performance improvements to our API endpoints. If the API has been unused for a while, an initial response can take 5 seconds or more. Subsequent requests are usually under 500 ms. We’re experimenting with ways to reduce that initial response time. We set up provisioned concurrency on our functions (so there’s always one or two copies running and ready to receive requests), but this didn’t make much difference. We’ll continue to look into this in future sprints.
We also tightened up some internal documentation and removed some legacy code related to Oracle connections, which we no longer use.
