> What's PG?
A PG is a “playground” build, a Jenkins setup to test openwhisk in a distributed environment. For some time, we did not have Apache infra for this and this was a source of frustration as contributors would wait for someone to run a pg on IBM’s Jenkins infra for the project so that a contributions is verified against a distributed environment. We failed in the early days to document when one would be needed and I think this gave the impression that IBM was holding back secret sauce. With Adobe’s generous contribution to Apache infra, and a lot help from Vincent Hou, we now have Apache infra for running Jenkins. It’s integrated with the main repo pull request verification just like Travis CI. While we still lack an environment for testing for performance regressions in Apache infra, but we are significantly better in terms of project independence. Breaking the PG dependence was an important step in achieving project maturity in my point of view. -r
