Platform Engineering Work Intake

[edit]

The Platform teams primary work intake is via the Tech Steering Committee process. This group is comprised of both Product and Technology department leaders, they meet every two weeks to review inbound proposals and status of inflight work via the Foundational Technology Requests board.

To have work reviewed by this group the first step is to submit a request using the New Foundational Technology Request form.

Platform Operations and Dumps

[edit]

Dumps

[edit]

You can open a phabricator task and add the Dumps-Generation tag to your report or request. Someone will respond to your task within one working day, barring leave or illness or ongoing site emergencies.

If the bug you are reporting is urgent, resulting in dumps being generally broken, you can report it in #wikimedia-tech in addition to creating a phabricator task. Someone will look at it as soon as they are available, as long as some other site emergency does not pre-empt it. That can again take up to one business day but a best effort will be made.
