It's possible, you just need bigger servers which
can hold all dbs.
(plus some master/slave replication for user tables)
I suppose it will use the same clusters as WMF. After
all, there's a
reason the WMF clusters needed to be splitted.
Sure, but tools outside production probably don't need that
extra millisecond those clusters are aiming for. Take the
Analytics Team for example: They happily consider different
tools because they have different goals.
