Howdy,
Mikhail from Wikimedia Readers here. In June I shared an update[1] that we
wrapped up work on puppetizing our R/Shiny-based dashboards[2].
I'm now happy to share a blog post[3] that explains Puppet and includes
some tips & resources for learning Puppet as a non-Ops person. If you've
been curious about that technology, I recommend checking out the post.
Cheers,
Mikhail on behalf of Discovery Analysts
