| 4/5/2019 | Site is now managed via Composer and no longer uses Public Affairs' custom upstream | APIGEE-216 | ||
| Found that Apigee has a Kickstarter Drupal Distro. This distro may have enough advantages to cause us to reverse our decision of managing the developer portal Drupal instance with Composer. | Denise Saludares (Unlicensed), Ian Lessing (Unlicensed), Steven Maglio | 7/18/2019 | ||
| Ian had a call with Pantheon people who manage the Pantheon's partnership with Apigee | Ian Lessing Cara Kalnow Matt Paladino matt.paladino@pantheon.io | 2019-08-15 | What I learned on my call with Pantheon Apigee people today. 2019-08-15 1.) Because Apigee will discontinue paying for Developer Portal hosting in June 2020 (next year) Pantheon has a new service offering for Apigee customers who want to continue using Pantheon to host their developer portals. This new service offering has 2 tiers. $12k per year and $28k per year. 2.) If we were to purchase this service before Dec 31, 2019 there are some discounts we could get through the end of our agreement/contract with Apigee. 3.) Their Apigee dev portal service would not be part of our existing UCSB Organizational hosting unless someone at ETS could negotiate such a deal with Pantheon. This is why Shea Lovan can't easily create a site for us with the Apigee upstream. 4.) Pantheon gave access to their Git repo of the Apigee Distro which we could set as a custom upsteam to get our Drupal 8 Apigee developer portal up and running now. URL: https://github.com/mpaladino/kickstarter_portal.git I think this is our best option at this point and provides us with an Apigee upstream at a DIY price. 5.)
