[infra] Bugzilla DB migration, performance improvements. We migrated bugzilla to a newer database cluster (mysql galera) and ported bugzilla from CGI to mod_perl, resulting in a large performance improvement (sometimes as much as 800ms faster per request.) [infra] CFEngine migration 90% complete. Infra remains on an older version of cfengine. We have deleted about 5000 lines of config with 2 major services to migrate off of. We began using cfengine in 2002; and started using puppet in 2010. In 2021 we will be free of cfengine. [infra] Capacity shuffle. We turned down 3 machines this year (grebe, grouse, brambling) and have at least 5 machines to replace in 2021 (gannet, godwit, nightjar, nightheron, noddie) Most infra machines are around 10 years old. We onboarded some new machines as well (pardalote, petrel, vanga) and have additional machines coming online in 2021. In 2020 we renewed our OSS credits with Amazon Web Services and we signed a contract with Fastly to provide OSS credits that we are using for CDN services to make our offerings faster for our users. -A > > I think we'll publish this on the website, so please use Markdown > and possibly link to the relevant projects.
