Site Reliability Engineering edit

  • Updates:
    • similar-users, linkrecommendation services exposing to internal services being finalized this week.

Cross-cutting edit

  • Updates:
    • No significant movement on PHP 8.0 this week.
    • LibraryUpgrader is bumping all reports to eslint-config-wikimedia 0.18.0, which has proper JSON linting support
      • There are some speed issues on very long JSON files, so we worked with upstream to avoid this, and have released 0.18.1 with said fix just now.
      • If your repo doesn't get a patch automatically, it's probably because LibraryUpgrader errors on your repo. We'll fix these manually (or file Phab tasks), but if you want to do it ahead of us, we won't complain. You can see the dashboard of such repos here: https://libraryupgrader2.wmcloud.org/errors?branch=master
