The following work for the FEWS NET website is included in the Sprint 68 release.
Back-end updates
Redis updates
Updates were made to upgrade to the most recent version of Redis, which is a database server that stores data in memory, rather than on a disk or solid-state drive. It stores data in memory, which eliminates slow disk access and achieves microsecond data latencies. This work was completed under the following tickets:
-
Improve Redis configuration ( FNW-1407 )
-
Update Redis 6.2 ( FNW-1408 )
-
Bring Redis environments into alignment ( FNW-1423 )
Update outline dependencies( FNW-1617 )
Upgraded outline dependencies to ensure compatibility with the latest framework updates. Improved stability and resolved dependency conflicts for smoother integration.
Core Web Vitals [CWV] Adjustments - minimize main-thread work ( FNW-1906 )
Implemented optimizations to reduce main-thread work and improve performance metrics with the purpose of achieving better Core Web Vitals scores
Activate Content Security Policy (CSP) ( FNW-1998 )
Enabled Content Security Policy (CSP) to enhance application security by mitigating risks of cross-site scripting (XSS) and data injection attacks. Configured CSP rules to restrict unauthorized resources and scripts. CSP improves website compliance with web security standards.
