Risks
-
Changeset Issues: Multiple pull requests lack changesets necessary for version bumping:
-
Large Files: Some files are quite large and could benefit from refactoring into smaller modules:
-
Documentation Gaps: Several files lack comments which could hinder maintainability:
services/workflows-service/src/workflow/dtos/document-decision-update-input.ts
apps/backoffice-v2/src/lib/blocks/hooks/useDocumentBlocks/hooks/useCommentInputLogic/useCommentInputLogic.ts
Of Note
- Integration of New Technologies: Issues like #2236 (OpenTelemetry support) and #2273 (SuperTokens integration) highlight significant technological upgrades aimed at enhancing observability and security.
- UI/UX Improvements: Continuous efforts to enhance user experience through issues like #2375 (reworked back to portal button logic) and #2383 (AML block UI fix).
- Deployment Enhancements: Updates to deployment scripts and configurations reflect a focus on improving the deployment process.
Conclusion
The Ballerine project is actively evolving with a strong focus on continuous improvement, new feature development, and maintaining code quality through collaborative efforts. Addressing the changeset issues will enhance version management, while refactoring large files and improving documentation will further improve maintainability.
