Shutting down deprecated rest.wikimedia.org by September 1st
by Gabriel Wicke 06 Sep '16

06 Sep '16

We are going to finally switch off the deprecated domain rest.wikimedia.org by September 1st. This should not affect any REST API users, as this domain has been officially deprecated since January & sunset since April [1]. Since then, requests to that domain have returned an error informing users about the move. Access to the REST API is exclusively through the main project domains, following the following pattern: https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/?doc Thank you for your cooperation, -- Gabriel Wicke Principal Engineer, Wikimedia Foundation [1]: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2016-April/085309.html

[ANNOUNCEMENT] service-template-node v0.4.0 released
by Marko Obrovac 20 Jul '16

20 Jul '16

Hello folks, service-template-node v0.4.0 has just been released~[1]. The new version represents an important security and feature upgrade from v0.3.2 and you are urged to update as soon as possible~[2]. On the feature side, this release brings out-of-the-box support for sending metrics for all requests made against a service, which means that after upgrading you will be able to set up your own grafana dashboard with relevant metrics~[3] very easily. Security-wise, there were some possible RegEx exploits in one of the node module dependencies. This has been mitigated by updating the relevant modules to a version that does not have the deficiency. Additionally, from now on a node-module-security scan is being run every time the service is tested to ensure our infrastructure is kept safe. Please update as soon as possible if you have a service based on the service template running in WMF production. And, as always, should you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to me. Cheers, Marko [1] https://github.com/wikimedia/service-template-node/tree/v0.4.0 [2] you can follow the guide on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/ServiceTemplateNode/Updating [3] dashboards a la https://grafana.wikimedia.org/dashboard/db/restbase?panelId=16&fullscreen -- Marko Obrovac, PhD Senior Services Engineer Wikimedia Foundation

Upgrade node services to v4.4.6
by Marko Obrovac 11 Jul '16

11 Jul '16

Hello, Next Wednesday, 2016-07-13, we plan to upgrade the hosts running nodejs services to v4.4.6 (from v4.3.0)~[1]. If you are a deployer of a node service please ensure your service functions properly under said version. In a node versioning sense, this is a minor version bump, so we don't expect any breakage, but careful testing is still needed, especially for services depending on binary node modules. Once you've tested the service, please create a patch for its source repo that bumps node's version to 4.4.6~[2] and add me (Mobrovac) as a reviewer so that we can coordinate the switch properly. Cheers, Marko [1] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T138561 [2] Follow the example for MCS - https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/297419/ -- Marko Obrovac, PhD Senior Services Engineer Wikimedia Foundation
