[WE6.2.3] Create a new deployment UI

• Progress update on the hypothesis for the week
  • Lifecycle stage: design (moving forward after this week)
  • Design document:
    • Met this week to discuss any open concerns from either Release Engineering or ServiceOps about the initial design.
    • We clarified details and are ready for work to begin writing code.
  • Next: Refactoring work will continue in parallel with bringing the proof of concept into alignment with the design document.
• Any new metrics related to the hypothesis
  • No
• Any emerging blockers or risks
  • No
• Any unresolved dependencies - do you depend on another team that hasn’t already given you what you need? Are you on the hook to give another team something you aren’t able to give right now?
  • No
• Have there been any new lessons from the hypothesis?
  • During the design document discussion, we learned about statograph, which powers https://www.wikimediastatus.net/. Something to explore further as we determine what metrics may be valuable for deployers in the interface.
• Have there been any changes to the hypothesis scope or timeline?
  • No
