Re: [Wikitech-l] Improving Wikimedia's Code Review process

Re: [Wikitech-l] [Services] [ANNOUNCEMENT] RESTBase and related services DC switch-over test

The Services DC fail-over test finished without user impact, and traffic is now switched back to eqiad. We found an issue with one of the Cassandra nodes running out of memory after switching update processing to codfw, as well as a hick-up with one instance in eqiad. Due to the redundant set-up,
