This is a roster of the work done for Balrog by Varun Joshi during Google Summer of Code 2016.

The project was successfully completed and its results have been deployed to the Balrog production instance. It has resulted in a significant reduction in the number of failed jobs due to update races. On the staging server, there used to be about 60 job failures due to update races in a day. This has been reduced to about 2-3 failures. The pull request for the GSoC project is #93. The associated bug is Bug 1223872
