TEC2: Modern Event Platform
 * Goal Owner: Nuria Ruiz
 * Program Goals for FY18/19: A modern event data platform will make it easier for engineers to build infrastructure for Knowledge as a Service. It will enable measuring the effectiveness of engineering projects, and also provide a base for smart reactive services, such as dependency tracking.
 * Annual Plan: TEC2: Modern Event Platform
 * Primary Goal is Knowledge as a Service: Evolve our systems and structures
 * Tech Goal: Sustaining



 = Q1 Goals =

Outcome 1 / Output 1.1 - 1.4
Wikimedia engineers have a reliable, scalable, and comprehensive platform for building services that produce and consume event data for analytics and production.
 * Events can easily and reliably be produced by internal and external clients and consumed by other internal services.

Dependencies on: Analytics, Services, SRE

Goal(s)

 * TechCom RFCs underway and technical decisions made. (more)

Status
July 2018
 * Discussed JSONSchema versus AVRo and decision was taken to use JSONSchemas and is ✅

August 2018
 * Discussed schema registry and metadata service
 * Discussed scalable event intake service

September 18, 2018
 * RFC for schema registry closing soon. We will leave metadata service out of MVP. We will work on scalable event intake as part of next quarter goals.
