After more than a year of effort by the DBA team, a new set of Wiki Replica servers are ready for full use by Cloud Services users. The new servers are faster, have more disk space, and are using updated software and configuration that corrects many historic problems with replica drift and security.
See the technical blog post for full details: <> TL;DR: - Change your tools and scripts to use: - `*.web.db.svc.eqiad.wmflabs` (real-time response needed) - `*.analytics.db.svc.eqiad.wmflabs` (batch jobs; long queries) - Replace `*` with either a shard name (e.g. `s1`) or a wikidb name (e.g. `enwiki`). - The new servers **do not** support user created databases/tables because replication can't be guaranteed. See the blog post for more information. - `tools.db.svc.eqiad.wmflabs` (also known as `tools.labsdb`) will continue to support user created databases and tables. - Report any bugs you find with these servers in Phabricator using the #Data-Services tag.
