Hi all,

As many of you know, there is a risk of Blazegraph, Wikidata Query Service’s backend, catastrophically failing before we are able to properly scale the service.

Thus, it is important for us to have a playbook for what actions we will take in the event of such a disaster, as well as making that playbook transparently available.

This Blazegraph failure playbook is now available, and we welcome you to take a look at it, though we hope to never use it.

Best,
Mike
