Analytics

  • We're blocking the Release team on its goal to move deployment to scap3, we're trying to prioritize and get it done but it might not fit until early next quarter.
  • Pageview API is still throwing 500 errors despite the throttling down to 10 requests per second, we've had an update to the AQS compaction (and an update to SSDs from spinning slowpokes) under testing for a while, so far the numbers look about an order of magnitude better.
  • Ongoing: normalizing and loading all history from all mediawiki dbs into Druid
  • The team will be at its offsite next week, and Madhu and Dan will be at Wikimania, Andrew taking vacation after the offsite. Our offsite is in Berlin and we're working out of WMDE's offices, so if they need us for any in-person hacking, we're there :)
