User:PPchelko (WMF)/Platform Engineering Team
 | This page is currently a draft.
|
This team has the primary responsibility for the Platform that supports the projects of the Wikimedia Movement. The platform is comprised of MediaWiki, Data Platform, API Platform, Platform Operations, WMF Dumps and the Wikimedia service infrastructure which provides our services, APIs and tools. Additionally, the team supports MediaWiki as a FLOSS product to be used by 3rd parties to host and share knowledge in a variety of contexts.
Mission
We shepherd Wikimedia’s essential software and infrastructure technologies enabling our users and developers to unlock free knowledge.
Collaborating with us
I want to:
- learn more about how we provide platforms as a service for partner teams, the community and the Foundation
- work together
- get help / support for Platform owned software, services or infrastructure
- see what Platform teams are working on
- learn about Platform's areas of responsibility
- review our Production SLOs
- see our Standard Operating Procedures
- meet our team members
Helpful Stuff
All Platform Value Stream demos and presentation explaining our work, what we've learned and what we've built.
This form can be used to request Platform Engineering team review of existing Code bases, Service, Mediawiki Extensions or infrastructure that is in need of stewardship for which we might be a good home.
The Platform Engineering Team intentionally sets aside 10% of our work time to actively work on novel ideas that are not necessarily directly related to our on going core objectives.
Value Stream Teams
Value streams are how we align our subteams within Platform Engineering, focusing on building capabilities that support our future product and technology goals. See blow for a link to each value stream within the Platform Engineering team.
The API Platform facilitates self-service application development using Application Programming Interfaces (APIs).
The Data Platform team serves data producers and data consumers
Applying basic MVC conception to separate concerns and drive discussion of refactoring
This team is responsible for all maintenance, sustainability and operation of services, infrastructure and products owned by the Platform Engineering team as well as the crucially important Wikimedia Dumps.
