Hello analytics,
I've set up an article edit / insert feed at
http://kubo.wmflabs.org/editstream.html.
It's receiving updates using a node.js WebSockets server running on stat1. I'd
like to productionize it and wanted to solicit your input on how to do it right. I think
it'd be useful to provide this stream as a service to the community.
Each edit event is ~300 bytes of gzipped-compressed JSON data. With ~140,000 edits a day,
the bandwidth per client is 0.5kbps. No filtering or buffering happens on the server, so I
think it'll scale quite well. Should I simply submit a puppet patch to configure this
service to run on stat1001?
It'd be good to map the service onto a URL on bits, so that it's easily accessible
from JS code running on Wikipedia.
Thoughts? Let me know!
Thanks,
Ori
