I believe this is the result of the ongoing
intermittent 503 errors on
big articles on betalabs
(
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57249).
During the last scrum of scrums, ops declared that they're too
overburdened and likely won't have bandwidth for investigating betalabs
issues. Antoine, do you have any bandwidth for this? QA folks, perhaps
we should consider using a different article for these tests so we don't
keep getting these false positive failures.

Hello,
Is there any reason to use the Barack Obama article for testing? The
reason that article has grown popular is that I used it to stress test
the Cite extension something like 3 or 4 years ago. At that time that
was an article with probably the most {{cite}} and it highlighted we
needed a better template system (short story: we have LUA now).
I am not sure what the feature tests are trying to achieve, but they
should probably hit another article. But I am probably missing a point.
As noticed on the bug report, the article takes up to 45 seconds to
parse on beta. There is surely a bunch of things we can optimize to
make parsing faster there. Last time I looked at it, it is because
cache are usually cold since we have not much traffic on beta.
The varnish text cache are supposed to have a 180s first byte timeout. I
did confirm a few hours ago that the text cache in beta does have the
180s timeout.
During the last scrum of scrums, ops declared that
they're too
overburdened
<rant>
If we hired 10-15 more junior ops people to handle the basic tasks
instead of attempting to hire one rock star for half the expected wage
in SF... We might have an ops team less overwhelmed :-D
</rant>
To conclude, I will attempt to investigate that issue on Monday. A
possibility would be to have a sleep.php that would take a sleeping time
value in parameter. Can then attempt to find out whether the timeout is
respected, aka query:
sleep?60
sleep?180
..
cheers,
