We had a meeting today with Giuseppe and Andrew from Ops, and clarified our path toward getting WDQS deployed in production (as a test service). Here are the takeaways/action items I'm aware of:
1. We need to specify our hardware needs ASAP ---> I think this means we should unstall https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T86561 and assign it to Stas. 2. Most likely the service will run on existing hardware (and ops will want to deploy it in both data centers) 3. Debian packaging is not required--we'll use maven+archiva+git deploy (?) 4. Andrew can help Stas with archiva (which Stas and Nik have already used) 5. Giuseppe can help Stas with puppet, which should be pretty easy 6. The puppet work should include basic health and performance monitoring 7. Stas will consider using jmx for additional logging
