Maintenance¶

Maintenance covers the routine work required to keep the platform current, secure, and predictable.

Scope¶

This includes:

• upgrading shared tooling such as Bazel, workflow definitions, and supporting automation
• keeping runner and execution environments in a usable state
• updating repository automation and policy configuration
• cleaning up deprecated or obsolete platform components

Relevant Areas¶

• Bazel and related build infrastructure
• GitHub Actions reusable workflows
• runner configuration and execution capacity
• Otterdog-managed organization or repository configuration
• documentation and compliance-related automation

Typical Work Items¶

• plan version upgrades with minimal disruption
• document maintenance windows or rollout expectations when they matter
• remove deprecated patterns before they become hidden dependencies
• make recurring operational work predictable instead of reactive

Why It Matters¶

Maintenance is where infrastructure stays trustworthy over time. It has direct impact on developer productivity, operational stability, and the credibility of compliance-related processes that depend on current tooling and clear change history.
