I'm delighted for people to try a spike like that locally; I'm scared of doing that in the datacentre. I don't wish to be a wet blanket, but I think its appropriate to set some expectations here: bringing services up to production readiness is a necessary part of going live with /anything/ that has performance, storage, security or privacy implications. Minimally it needs: - production docs: install, troubleshooting, care and feeding - qa environment integration: replication to the qa environment and resetting etc with our prod data schedule, data cleansing for ok viewing by team leads. - capacity estimates to the point of 'we are comfortable' - load and performance estimates to the point of 'we are comfortable' - security analysis of new components Adding a spike for a system that: - wants a new database - has an unknown performance profile - will add in-line overhead to some/most POST and many GET requests (eventually even if not day one) is a bit of a non-starter. I don't see Zeitgeist as any sort of replacement for event triggering from LP itself either, but perhaps I'm not imaginative enough : I can definitely see Zeitgeist as a event *client* though. -Rob _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
