Quarterly Review

edit

Review action items here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_MediaWiki_Core_Team/Quarterly_review,_April_2014/Notes


edit
  • Disk repartitioning complete (minus mgmt problem with elastic1008)
    • Search to go beta for remaining 42 wikis week of 28th (sooner? plz?)
  • Snapshot stuff progressing well
  • First UI/UX work being turned from mockup into some changes

Performance / HHVM

edit

HHVM app server stack:

  • Option 1: migrate from apache 2.2 + mod_php to apache 2.4 + mod_proxy_fcgi
  • Option 2: have text varnishes talk directly with HHVM
    • We use Apache as a process supervisor and URL rewriting; HHVM’s built-in server does both.
    • <domas> well, at FB it is something like browser -> spdy -> edge-slb -> spdy -> origin-slb -> http -> hhvm

paravoid: maybe having a discussion with Sara regarding ABI stability and how we would ideally like to perform hhvm upgrades without rebuilding all extensions
