Exactly one year ago [5] this periodical started to provide regular insights on production stability. The idea was to shorten the feedback cycle between deployment of code that leads to fatal errors and the discovery of those errors. This allows more people to find reports earlier, which (hopefully) prevents them from sneaking into a growing pile of “normal” errors. 576 reports were created between 15 July 2018 and 31 July 2019 (tagged Wikimedia-prod-error). 425 reports got closed over that same time period. ------- #### 📉 Outstanding reports Take a look at the workboard and look for tasks that might need your help.
