Hello everyone, Beam support for Python 2 is coming to an end. Consequently, we should make sure no Python 2 applications are running as a part of Beam's infrastructure. As you may know, Beam is still hosting a Python 2 application on Google App Engine. This application is Perfkit Explorer [1].
Perfkit Explorer has been used as a dashboarding tool for a long time. Few months ago, it was deprecated in favour of new Grafana dashboards [2]. Perfkit Explorer doesn't support Python 3, so a viable solution to the problem is to shut down Perfkit Explorer completely. That would also reduce costs, because at the moment we have two similar applications doing the same thing. What do you think? If nobody has any objections, I'd like to shut down Perfkit Explorer next week. Thanks, Kamil [1] https://apache-beam-testing.appspot.com [2] http://metrics.beam.apache.org/
