Notes
App caching:
- PoC implemented
- Good performance improvement for supervisory node retrieval (4.5s to 0.1s)
- Next steps?
- Worth looking into build-in caching support for Spring Boot
- Still need to investigate db caching
- This was implemented on the controller layer (caching DTOs)
Angola contributions:
- We will probably be getting way more contributions to core than we used to in Malawi
- We will work on many core tickets
- Josh: we should always get a sign-off from core to implement something; by default go through the tech committee; pull requests just for small changes/tweaks
- Wes: consider talking about how we treat external contributions in general
- What about testing changes from the external team?
- We certainly might have a gap here
- Rely on close collaboration with the teams to ensure we have the software properly tested (agree with Angola who is testing the change and how)
- Consider having a separate call about this (maybe with the Angola team?)
Feature flags:
- Approach to removing feature flags (when?)
Package lock files concerns:
- dev-ui was updated to support the package-lock files
- some of the services are not using them and package-lock files are ignored
- why do we have package-lock file in .gitignore?
- the file changed with each build
Action Items
- Sebastian Brudziński to schedule a call with Josh Zamor and Paulina Buzderewicz to talk about the concerns and next steps for App caching
- Mateusz Kwiatkowski to schedule another call with Josh Zamor or move it to the next tech committee to talk about feature flags more
- Chongsun Ahn (Unlicensed) to create a ticket to unignore the package-lock
