Congratulations to Cindy on the merge this evening of her long-term work on the new GPII Data Model
described by GPII-2630, and the annotated schema written up in the wiki at
https://wiki.gpii.net/w/Keys,_KeyTokens,_and_Preferences . This represents over 6 months of careful, patient
and skilled work in adapting our existing architecture to the new use cases characterised in the APCP, and
is the crucial enabler to getting us up and running with our new cloud-based flow manager and preference
server meeting the needs of our first deployment with writable preference safes later this year. A hail of
further merges will now follow across several projects as described in the head writeup at
https://github.com/GPII/universal/pull/591 - which will provide the basis for the live infrastructure
supporting these deployments in the cloud.
Cindy's work also considerably rationalises our infrastructure as inherited from the Cloud4All days,
removing unnecessary implementations, and renaming and realigning our terminology with the new accepted
naming, e.g. PCP -> PSP, NP sets -> preference sets, userToken -> GPII key, etc.
Many thanks to Cindy for bringing this to a great conclusion as always, and looking forward to the next
months of work that will be based on this implementation. As usual, anyone who has an active pull request
against universal will certainly need to update it now as a result of the large number of conflicts that
will be introduced with respect to this work. Wishing Cindy a great holiday as she is off on Monday!
Cheers,
Antranig.
