Status Update

@Chongsun Ahn (Unlicensed)

Setup of v2, v3, and the v3 reporting stack
Created working pipeline for requisitions
- Currently just a proof of concept, but working well
  - Currently just supporting the requisition table
- Process:
  1. Changes in v2 get streamed into Kafka (housed in the reporting stack)
  2. Data Transformations
  3. Streamed into v3
- Near “realtime” data flow
- Very little coding involved, just using tools as designed
- Most of the work will be in transforming the v2 data to get streamed into v3
  - Patterns created now should help us if/when we need to extend this approach for other areas of the system
  - This should be an area that Ian can help out with, once those patterns are established
- Chongsun has pushed this work to a branch (casper-wip) of the refdistro repository
  - @Chongsun Ahn (Unlicensed) to add link to branch

Project Scope

@Chongsun Ahn (Unlicensed), @Alfred Mchau

Alfred: Keep the scope small, focusing on requisitions but implement so that it is easier to expand the scope in the future

Chongsun: Need to create automated deployment scripts as part of this work as well

Project Expectations and Timelines

@Alfred Mchau

Alfred needs to have something ready to showcase in early July alongside demos of v3

It would also be helpful to have an answer for how to handle a possible migration from v2 to v3

Would there be downtime?
What effect on the usage of the system during the migration?

Action items

@Alfred Mchau TZ data for testing. Just need a few requisitions, facilities and products to start

@Chongsun Ahn (Unlicensed) Create tickets for work with Ian (maybe use a specific label or other way to group this Casper-related tickets?)

@Wesley Brown Create meeting page

@Wesley Brown Add root page for Casper-related content on wiki

@Chongsun Ahn (Unlicensed) Discuss the possible involvement of Philip Garrison with Josh/Brandon/Philip (starting soon in Seattle, working through the summer). @Wesley Brown to help as needed

Decisions

@Chongsun Ahn (Unlicensed) To provide a system demo next week
