Weekly entry
Reliability and performance across platform-api and web-app
Headline
A week of reliability and performance work across platform-api and web-app.
What shipped
- Reliability — background sync now retries transient GitHub failures and records anything it still can't process, instead of dropping it (acme/platform-api #482)
- Performance — cached recent activity so the most-visited dashboard screen stops re-fetching every visit (acme/web-app #311)
- Maintainability — reworked summary generation so entries regenerate cleanly without duplicating state (acme/platform-api #479)
Why it mattered
The throughline was durability: the work timeline stays complete under rate-limiting, and the app feels faster on the screens people open most.
Collaboration
Reviewed the authentication cleanup PRs and helped settle how sessions are refreshed and invalidated.
Follow-ups
Add an alert on dead-letter volume, and extend the caching pattern to the activity detail view.
