Re: [discovery] Maps conference in Moscow

All usage statistics is listed here <https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Maps#Monitoring>. Most relevant are varnish cluster load <https://ganglia.wikimedia.org/latest/?r=week&cs=&ce=&c=Maps+caches+eqiad&h=&tab=m&vn=&hide-hf=false&m=cpu_report&sh=1&z=small&hc=4&host_regex=&max_graphs=0&s=by+name>, and backend cluster load <https://ganglia.wikimedia.org/latest/?r=week&cs=&ce=&c=maps+Cluster+codfw&h=&tab=m&vn=&hide-hf=false&m=cpu_report&sh=1&z=small&hc=4&host_regex=&max_graphs=0&s=by+name> - and it is still next to nothing - we went from 1 hit a second to 6 hits a second (528k/day). This is nowhere near even our first announcement spike <http://searchdata.wmflabs.org/maps/> of 85 hits a second (7,270k/day), which still was not noticeable on the server load. Giuseppe, maps were not added to the Russian Wikipedia - just as agreed, maps were added to yet another wmflabs tool called Geohack. Just like many other tools, Geohack is linked from the wikis (the GPS coordinates in the top right). This difference is fundamental from the usage/ops perspective - the only users who load it are those who chose to click on a tool link and go to wmflabs site, thus keeping the load very low. This is different from wikivoyage usage <https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Salzburg#Get_around>, where the wmflabs tool is loaded right away on a page view, without user interaction. Btw, I don't think wikivoyage usage is safe, so I am working on the extension <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Kartographer> to solve it. The extension will use maps directly from the wiki site, so we should have a discussion in the future when we can integrate it into all the wikipedias, and not just the smaller projects.
