Session Goal

The primary goal of this session was to debug and enhance the email processing workflow within the Gatekeeper system.

Key Activities

• Conducted root cause analysis and debugging of email reprocessing issues in the Gatekeeper system.
• Developed a systematic debugging plan for the email processing workflow, focusing on improving logging and queue management.
• Implemented enhancements to the process_message and classify_email functions, adding verbose logging and error handling to improve microservices debugging.
• Modified the summarize_collection function to retrieve the most recent document by sorting with the received_at timestamp.
• Reconstructed the program flow to identify key areas for debugging and proposed improvements to logging for better traceability.

Achievements

• Clarified the debugging strategy for the Gatekeeper email processing system.
• Improved the logging and error handling mechanisms within microservices.

Pending Tasks

• Further testing of the enhanced debugging features in a live environment to ensure effectiveness.
