Reduce CI wait time[edit]
CI cluster responds to spike in queued builds by starting and registering additional jenkins slaves[edit]
- git cache, waiting on a deb package (which?) to be reviewed/uploaded by ops
- package manager cache: maybe gemstash
- TODO: manually trigger nodepool to spin up more instances with a lot of commits
- nodepool still doesn't send stats to statsd, need python-shade (blocked on ops) to upgrade nodepool
- still need to patch Nodepool to reduce the stats it does send
Migrate majority of CI jobs to Nodepool[edit]
- python tox - task T119141
- done
- ruby rake - task T119142
- done
- javascript npm - task T119143
- in-progress
- move out the linters first

Decommission Gitblit[edit]

Code review RFC: creation, publication, discussion, feedback etc[edit]
