Requirements: *When the site goes down, the dashboard must still be up, no matter which layer failed. *The dashboard must be able to handle the slashdot effect that the site going down would have on it. The dashboard would fix bug 20079, forked from 16043. https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20079 https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16043 _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
