General

• Lars Wirzenius will be working on the project
  • introductions (mic not work, sorry)
  •  Done TODO: switch hangout over to Google Meet

• Last week's TODO: create task to talk about how to track and install additional npm packages for all services
  •  Done Track and install additional npm packages for all service container images
  • _joe_: we should create an intermediate image as a docker layer
  • alex: we need these since these use binary packages, but I don't know where these layers should be created
  • dan: this could add a fair amount of bloat if not using multi-stage
  • alex: other servies use npm binary packages (maps) -- whatever we come up with should serve the needs of both those types of services and service-runner services

• TEC3:O3:O3.1:Q2 Goal - Move Blubberoid, ZoteroV2, and Graphoid through the production CD Pipeline
  • Is there a task for the "Reprise the work on the logging infrastructure" goal?
  • Came up in "TEC3 program status" meeting

• _joe_: when should new services go to k8s directly, we need docs, etc
• alex: we have no docs now really, other than Marko
• alex: helm charts are tricky, particularly CPU limits are had to come up with, tests needed and hard to do
• TODO: start docs on Wikitech

RelEng

• Support a literal body for POST requests in `fetch_url`
  • Got some review, anything to discuss?
• Blubber v0.6.0 is tagged on gerrit
  • Should remove the need to fiddle with package.json in the zotero repo

SREs

Add a very very first draft for zotero helm chart https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/operations/deployment-charts/+/466287/
