Hi ops,
Has the swift capacity been increased yet thanks to the new hardware? If
so, could we resume the discussion of "pre"generating specific thumbnail
sizes at upload time?
Media Viewer could benefit greatly from this performance-wise. As seen on
this graph, the launch to all wikis affected the average considerably,
since users started hitting a lot of images that didn't have Media
Viewer-sized thumbnails yet:

Thumbnailing improvements are still in the works on our end, and the idea
of not using swift anymore for those is definitely on the team's radar
(we've started working on more modest thumbnailing improvements at this
point), but if the capacity is there, we might as well improve the average
image load time for our users, even if the ever-increasing swift use for
thumbnail is still a problem itself.

Hi all,
Do you guys have a rough estimate of when the new swift capacity will be
installed?
Now that we're in the process of Media Viewer's launch to all users on
pilot sites, the question of when we'll be able to prerender thumbnails at
desired bucket sizes has come up again.
