Motes: Drupal 8 Migration Notes

26 Apr 2019 Ian and Denise meeting on 4/30 to continue to work on the migration. In the last session they separated the site from the UCSB managed upstream. Will continue to update it thru composer.

02 May 2019 Denise had to reschedule due to UCTech commitment. Will meet on 5/8.

16 May 2019 Denise S. & Ian L. had a working session on 5/14 and have another scheduled for 5/17.  Got setup with development environments utilizing Lando which utilizes Docker underneath.

30 May 2019 Ian and Denise met on Tuesday. Next meeting is next week on the 5th. Setup is similar as the UC Tech site where multiple developers are contributing to the development. 

21 Jun 2019 Using Lando (Dev with Lando - using Docker to create the same setup as Pantheon) to do local development. Will give others access. Ian and Denise will document it as well.

08 Jul 2019 Denise S. & Ian L. had working sessions on 7/8, 7/9, and 7/12. Next week they will be at UCTech. APIGEE-216

19 Jul 2019 Denise S. & Ian L. meet last Friday, 12 Jul 2019, to look at some new information from Apigee. They have documentation on their site showing support for Drupal 8.

• https://docs.apigee.com/api-platform/publish/drupal/open-source-drupal-8
• https://www.drupal.org/project/apigee_devportal_kickstart
• https://github.com/apigee/devportal-kickstart-project-composer

The way it reads, they have a template Drupal 8 site with the Apigee modules pre-installed. It is also based around Composer.

But, Steven and Ian are concerned about Composer being more work than we can take on. There is a conversation going on with Denise about this.

26 Jul 2019 Have not met with Denise during this last week. Started making a matrix comparing the different options.

02 Aug 2019 Researched more about Apigee/Pantheon partnership. Will email both Apigee and Pantheon at what exactly the partnership means, with specific emphasis asking if Apigee's Pantheon distribution is linked to an Apigee maintained custom upstream. He hopes to report back on their responses next week.

• christian.montecino (Unlicensed) Google analytics api usage reports - there is an issue with recording API usage. it does not match the gateway data. (APIGEE-189) Christian will start logging into a text file the API execution to compare with google analytics. 

• Christian asked the Loggly cloud service provider rep to create a report for us to compare with the Google analytics report. 

• The free account is expiring and Christian requested and extension. 

• First we will compare Loggly usage to Google analytics. Then we will move the functionality to Splunk. 

• 26 Jul 2019 The apigee portal reports more requests than what we see in analytics. But, loggly events show a matching number to what apigee is showing. Christian will continue to look into why it isn't recording the information.

25 Jul 2019 Graduate Division has put in a API Publishing Request. We've added Melanie Hoven as the Business Approver and she should be able sign-off the request pretty soon. The Graduate Division API is going to need to go through some development iterations before it will be posted.

• Library looking to get Employee/Staff information so that they can get employee information when a user logs into the ALMA system.
  • Currently, they are getting a dump of employees that they upload into this system. Getting this info in real-time would be a big improvement.
• Kevin Wu and Adam Sottosanti have been developing this and they are currently testing it through the API Gateway
  
  • Steven Maglio Will work with Kevin on naming conventions in the creation of the proxy et al.
• Jeremy Hobbs (from CalPoly) is the replacement for Ana Fiddler, and he will be potentially driving this project from the Library side. Angela Chikowero is probably also driving this too.

25 Jul 2019 Kevin is continuing to work with Kam Kunimoto/Adam Sottosanti on developing the endpoint. A new endpoint is being asked for; one that returns all the employees/jobs.
