Infrastructure

@flixos90

GitHub project

  • @flixos90: Matt’s request will be a major Infrastructure topic. Will leave some thoughts on https://github.com/WordPress/performance/issues/618 so we can begin to discuss, but a real discussion should occur in next week’s chat since it’s more synchronous. See also @tweetythierry‘s reply to Matt here which mentions some potential options for us to think about.
    • @olliejones: Is there any prospect of getting core to add a new drop-in slot to avoid overloading object-cache.php with the monitoring stuff?
      • @flixos90: Adding a new slot will be challenging; defining the scope and whether it’s justified will likely take quite a while. That said, worth exploring in a Trac ticket, but should probably come up with a solid proposal first.
      • @manuilov: If we need to split the plugin, seems like the most appropriate option is the second approach suggested by Thierry. Will need to extract modules as individual plugins and keep PL as a wrapper focused on central infrastructure and recommending individual plugins. Otherwise, if we deprecate PL, people will be less able to find new modules/plugins.

Open floor

  • @olliejones: Is there a load-testing/performance benchmarking setup? Maybe a sample big site with a bunch of jmeter scripts or something similar?
