Week 13

(August 26, 2025 – September 01, 2025)

Work Done

• Reviewed Scheduler functionality in both setups:
  • Rebased and partially ran the Scheduler from Omar’s previous setup.
  • Started testing the Scheduler in the new setup with the latest branch as per decided with Avinal.
• Analyzed the services, logs, and configuration flows from the old setup and attempted to configure them similarly in the new setup.
• Discovered that the latest master branch introduced changes:
  • Database migration issues.
  • Agent-related errors.
  • These prevent the Scheduler from running properly.
• Continued working on the Final Evaluation Documentation, writing down:
  • Steps we tried.
  • Issues discovered.
  • Comparisons between setups.

All changes are pushed to Omar’s forked repository under the following branch:

• https://github.com/SalmanDeveloperz/fossology/tree/OmarAbdelSamea/GSoC/Microservices

The associated commit can be viewed here:

Meeting 1:

(August 27, 2025)

Meeting was missed because Avinal was unavailable (he was away from home). He asked me to prepare a document outlining the issues we have discovered so far and send it to them for feedback.

Meeting 2:

(August 28, 2025)

I presented my progress (detailed above) and explained the challenges with Scheduler, database migrations and agents in current state of infrastructure.

Challenges

• Major differences between previous setup vs. latest branch made Scheduler migration harder.
• Database and agent issues are blockers preventing smooth execution.
• Need more time to design and implement a stable solution.

Next Steps

Although the GSoC timeline has ended, I plan to:

• Continue contributing to FOSSology Microservices Infrastructure.
• Focus on solving the Scheduler migration challenges.
• Work on database migration and agent issues.
• Improve and refine documentation for new contributors.
• Collaborate with the community to design and implement the pending parts of the project after critical evaluation.

Final Note

While this report concludes my official GSoC period, it does not conclude my journey with FOSSology.
The Microservices Infrastructure project is critical and still has a long way to go. I am fully determined to keep contributing, improving and finishing what was started.

This is just the end of GSoC, not the end of my contributions 🚀.
