Introduction
Project Catalyst is a team working on a kubernetes cluster as a service explicitly for CI and and exploratory testing. Our current effort is upgrading Patch Demo, to use kubernetes to provision and host wikis with custom extensions and skins. The Catalyst API wraps a small kubernetes cluster. A new instance of PatchDemo will consume this API. Our next effort will be to open the Catalyst API for more general workloads include wikis which rely on (micro)services.
Update
- Status: On Track
- The team paused regular work to participate in sprinthackular patchdemo projects, such as phab:T372980.
- An out of memory event (Catalyst/Incidents/2025-01-29) in the kubernetes cluster that hosts patchdemo caused an outage, which we responded to and created follow up tasks to improve the resilience of our cluster.
- Any new metrics related to the hypothesis
- no
- Any emerging blockers or risks
- We need to take some time to improve our kubernetes deployments to avoid future outages.
- Any unresolved dependencies - do you depend on another team that hasn’t already given you what you need? Are you on the hook to give another team something you aren’t able to give right now?
- no
- Have there been any new lessons from the hypothesis?
- no
- Have there been any changes to the hypothesis scope or timeline?
