These seem to me like they're just separate tech-debt issues, for which we already have a clear idea of how to exactly to resolve them, but that we just haven't taken the time for yet. They're very useful to fix, but I don't think they benefit from attention by the TA as much as the other items. > - test suite parallelisation: parallelisation initially, then > parallelisation in our CI/landing robot > - data mapping layer: Build and deploy across the whole code base a > dedicated persistence layer. > This would be a choke point through which all database access goes, > would include the group based idiom I've been rabbiting on about, and > to be successful would define an iron-clad contract which we can > confidently replace with a testable test double.

I think these two items would be of most use. Cheers, Jelmer
