Deployment Pipeline

Source: http://www.aoemedia.com/us/full-service/quality-assurance/continuous-deployment.html

Varnish

· Cache everything · including Ajax responses · send proper cache-control headers · use smart purges

· EXT:cacheinfo / EXT:purge

Background Jobs

· Use the TYPO3 scheduler · Introduce queue processing · Frequency relates to the server load · ~20 background jobs running

Search

· Systems included in the indexing process: · TYPO3 · TER · Redmine (a.k.a Forge) · Documentation · Forum (disabled)

· forge.typo3.org/projects/show/extension-solr

TER

· Existing TER migrated BUT: · Rewritten TER frontent · Asynchron manual rendering

· 10GB files + · 10GB extension manuals

Upcoming Challenges

· Bugfixing · Migrate towards a Git deployment workflow · Migrate documentation to dedicated server · Upgrade to TYPO3 CMS 6.0 · Migrate TER towards composer support · More automated testing · Enable Workspaces

Get the community involved Contribution

Maintenance Concept (FOR)

· Most of the work will still be done by volunteers

· If a volunteer needs to step back - the agency will take over

· Agencies will backup the voluntary work · Each FOR has an contact person

published at the FOR page at typo3.org · http://typo3.org/projects/typo3-org/themaintenanceconcept/

The FORs

· Login and Registration · Extension Repository TER · Professional Services Listing · News, Events, Articles, Security Bulletins · Documentation · Server, Deployment · Search · Video Integration · Markup · Donation

Goals

· Sub-pages (e.g. topic and team pages) · Migrate other pages such as

· association.typo3.org · shop.typo3.org · buzz.typo3.org · forum.typo3.org

Participation

· What to do when someone wants to help out?

· What skillset is needed? · What are possible takeaways for

newcomers? · When could you support the team?
