Adding dedicated identifier search to provisioning service
Authored a replicated stateful manifest with persistent storage and an internal service for the search cluster. Checked the manifest with YAML parsing only; it was not deployed or validated against a live cluster.
What worked
Stateful workload, storage, and service concepts mapped cleanly to the deployment needs.
What got in the way
No cluster access to validate scheduling, storage, or service discovery.

Adding operations search over high-volume orders
Updated production platform configuration to supply the standby connection for the new search path. Change was authored and syntax-checked locally but not deployed or verified against a live cluster.
What got in the way
Cluster state and production rollout were not observed during the task; configuration changes still needed platform-side application.

Deploying search with persistent storage and health checks
Added internal service, stateful workload, persistent volume claim, config, and credential wiring for the search engine by following existing deployment and configuration patterns. Manifests were structured so the existing apply-all step would pick them up without exposing a public route.
What worked
Existing deployment, config, and secret patterns made placement of probes, storage, resource requests, and environment wiring straightforward.
What got in the way
Could not run a dry-run apply or cluster health check in the environment, so rollout, storage class fit, and multi-replica behavior remain unverified.

Planning isolated stateful search deployment
Reviewed existing deployment and service patterns and authored new stateful manifests with persistent claims, anti-affinity, probes and resource settings to isolate search from transactional workloads. No live cluster apply was performed.
What worked
Existing manifest conventions made it clear where to add the stateful workload, service discovery entries and production configuration values.
What got in the way
Storage sizing and image mirroring still needed operator confirmation since no live cluster was available during the task.

Implementing order search and state synchronization
OpenShift was the existing deployment platform. A production config map was updated so the new consumer settings travel with the current rollout. Vendor documentation was not read, and no CLI, console, or cluster was used. The config map shape already in the repo was clear enough for a small settings addition.
What worked
The existing config map accepted the new consumer settings without a new deployment object or a platform change.
What got in the way
The manifest was not applied, so rollout, injection, and runtime behavior on a cluster were not observed.

Deploying stateful search on a container platform
Added production deployment manifests for the search service with a headless service, stable per-node identity and storage, resource limits, anti-affinity and readiness and liveness probes.
What worked
Stateful workload pattern with persistent volume claims and probes mapped cleanly to the isolation requirement.
What got in the way
Manifests were only validated structurally; they were never applied to a real cluster in the record.

Reviewing route exposure for a new API endpoint
Read the project's Route and deployment manifests to see how the new endpoint would be exposed. They showed a single route for every path, with router timeout and rate-limit annotations. From that I flagged access control and the shared rate limit. I never ran anything against a cluster.
What worked
Router behaviour like timeouts and connection rate limits is set through readable annotations on the Route, so the manifest alone was enough to understand it.

Adding a read-only operations lookup
A separate service and route, plus a deployment port, were written from existing manifests so the lookup could be exposed apart from the current API. They were never applied. Official docs were not consulted. The route allowlist was left as loopback only, which would deny real clients until replaced with the operations network ranges.
What worked
The manifest model made a second service, route, connection cap, and route timeout straightforward to express beside the existing deployment. Comments between list items remained valid.
What got in the way
The cluster was never contacted, so admission, routing, and allowlist enforcement were not observed. As written, the allowlist contains only loopback and would reject every remote client.

Adding an in-cluster search service
Wrote rollout manifests in the repo's existing style: a deployment config, service, and route for the search process, applied from the same directory as the cluster objects. Nothing was applied, so admission, routing, and rollout waits were not observed. Secrets, a storage class, and elevated pod privileges stayed outside the repo.
What worked
DeploymentConfig, Service, and Route matched the existing apply-a-directory rollout, so the new service could be expressed without a new delivery path.
What got in the way
The manifests were never applied. Security-context constraints, TLS secrets, and the route hostname could not be checked from this session.

Adding dedicated order search
Added a deployment manifest, config map entries, and a separately stored backfill job using the existing platform manifest style. Nothing was applied to a cluster. Whether a directory apply recurses into nested folders was left unresolved.
What worked
Existing deployment manifests were a clear template for a new process, probes, and injected endpoint settings.
What got in the way
The CLI was not run, so apply, rollout, and secret injection were not observed. Directory-apply recursion stayed an open question, so the backfill job was kept outside the applied folder as a precaution.

Updating deployment configuration for a new feature
Read the deployment config, route and ConfigMap manifests to understand rate limiting and TLS termination, then added two environment variables to the production ConfigMap following the existing naming convention. Pure YAML edits; not applied to a cluster.
What worked
Route annotations made the existing connection rate limit and header forwarding behavior discoverable, which informed how the audit origin address is derived.

Adding a configuration value to a production ConfigMap
Edited an existing ConfigMap manifest to add an environment variable for the new page-size cap, mirroring how other tunables were already declared. The manifest was not applied to a cluster.
What worked
The existing manifest pattern made the addition a one-line change that is easy to review alongside the application default.

Updating deployment configuration manifests
Read the existing deployment and ConfigMap manifests to understand how the app is configured per environment, then added one new property to the production ConfigMap so the page-size limit is tunable without a rebuild. Plain YAML edits, nothing applied to a cluster.
What worked
Keeping environment overrides in a ConfigMap made adding one setting a one-line change that mirrors the application's own property file.

Provisioning a stateful search tier and worker deployments
Authored a StatefulSet with volume claim templates and anti-affinity, headless and ClusterIP services, PodDisruptionBudget, NetworkPolicy, ConfigMaps, DeploymentConfigs and Jobs modelled on existing manifests. Validated YAML locally; nothing was applied to a cluster.
What worked
Existing DeploymentConfig patterns were straightforward to mirror. Restricted SCC constraints were workable by configuring the search engine to avoid mmap instead of needing privileged sysctl containers.
What got in the way
Operator-based installs need cluster-admin for CRDs, which pushed the design to raw manifests. Non-recursive apply of a directory and immutable Job specs required a deliberate directory layout and explicit pipeline steps.

Deploy search cluster and indexer
Added DeploymentConfig, config map, and related manifests so the search cluster, bootstrap job, and indexer follow the existing on-cluster deploy pattern. Manifests were written only; nothing was rolled out.
What worked
Copying the current replica, secret, and config-map pattern made it clear where the indexer and in-cluster search service should plug in.
What got in the way
Two TLS secrets were first mounted at the same path and had to be split. Several secrets remain platform-created, so a rollout still depends on work outside the repo.

Adding identifier lookup to an existing API

Operations identifier search
Added DeploymentConfig, Service, and Route manifests for the search app by copying existing project patterns, and kept the search-engine custom resource out of the merge-applied folder. Nothing was rolled out to a live cluster.
What worked
Existing config maps, sidecars, and rollout layout made it clear how to ship a new service without touching the frozen intake API route.
What got in the way
Platform-specific DeploymentConfig and secret wiring is verbose and easy to mis-copy. Apply, routing, and TLS were never exercised.

Authoring search runtime manifests
Followed existing DeploymentConfig, ConfigMap, and route patterns to add an indexer workload and a stateful search cluster plus dashboards route. Manifests were written only; nothing was applied to a live farm.
What worked
Copying the repo’s existing container and envFrom conventions made the new indexer service line up with API and worker deploys.
What got in the way
A merge-time recursive apply would miss nested cluster manifests and must not roll a stateful search cluster. Secrets still have to exist before the first rollout.

Shipping a stateful search cluster with existing app deploys
Added StatefulSet, services, and config maps beside the existing app manifests so the platform apply step creates the search runtime. Chose a StatefulSet over the repo’s DeploymentConfig pattern because the index needs stable identity and disk. Nothing was applied to a live cluster here.
What worked
Manifest-only delivery matched how the API and worker already ship. Headless plus ClusterIP services without an external route kept the index cluster-internal.
What got in the way
Credentials still have to exist as a platform secret before rollout; that step is outside the manifests and was not executed here. The pipeline also does not rebuild this image, so the cluster image must already be in the internal registry.

Wiring new application configuration and a secret into deployment manifests
Added a new connection URL and pool-size entry to the environment config map and an optional secret-backed password reference in the deployment manifest, choosing optional so the feature degrades to existing credentials if the key has not been created yet. Manifests were edited only; nothing was applied to a cluster.
What worked
Marking a secret key reference optional is exactly the escape hatch needed to ship ahead of a credential that another team must create, and config-map keys map onto application environment variables with no glue. The manifest format was readable enough to extend confidently without a cluster to test against.
What got in the way
The manifests are plain YAML with meaning carried by comments and ordering, so an append in the obvious place orphaned an existing comment from the setting it described; I only caught it by diffing. Without a cluster or client tool there was no way to validate the manifests at all.

Defining production deployment for search services and OpenSearch
OpenShift manifests were created for stateful OpenSearch nodes, application workloads, storage, secrets, TLS, health probes, disruption protection, and a controlled backfill job. They parsed successfully but were not applied.

Propagating new application settings into deployment manifests
Read the existing deployment and route manifests to understand replica counts and resource limits, then added the new settings to the production config map as environment variables matching the framework's binding rules. Nothing was applied to a cluster; this was manifest authoring plus reasoning about what the pipeline does and does not deploy.
What worked
The manifest format is plain and self-describing, so adding keys to an existing config map was low-risk and required no new scaffolding. Deployment manifests made the concurrency and resource ceiling of the running service easy to read off directly, which fed the capacity reasoning.
What got in the way
Settings have to be duplicated between application configuration and the config map with no mechanism to keep them in sync, so the two can silently drift. Working out which directory the pipeline actually applies required reading the build script rather than anything in the manifests themselves.

Adding in-cluster identifier search
Authored in-cluster manifests for the search engine and a separate search API using existing StatefulSet, DeploymentConfig, Service, Route, and ConfigMap patterns so the index stays internal and the search route is isolated from order intake.
What worked
Sibling manifests made it clear how to keep the index off a public route, give search its own config, and attach a PVC for the engine.
What got in the way
Nothing was rolled out to a cluster, so scheduling, probes, and secret wiring were not validated live.
