Developer Portal Migration to Drupal 8Ian Lessing (Unlicensed)

Motes: Drupal 8 Migration Notes

Links:

 Ian and Denise met yesterday. Radix -  the theme with the kickstarter module. We can use it as our base theme. Denise had concerns with how complicated it is. We need to pick a theme to use. Ian will ask Brian Wolf if he has a ucsb theme that is easy to use. The Public affairs theme is very complicated and it utilizes outdated version of Bootstrap (3).

  •  Diana will ask Alex Sokolov what is he using. 

 Denise will be pulling out of the project starting in January due to other priorities in ARIT

Steven Maglio


 Database that collects weekly statistics was moved to a SIST dev server. Will move it to AWS when we get an account, possibly using Lambda functions. For now, the code (powershell) will be put in Github Apigee team.

 Steven heard we can create AWS accounts now in Gateway. Diana will ask Matt Hall for financial support. Steven will ask James for documentation from Cloud champions group.


Uptime monitor check on API system updatesDiana Antova
  • Currently when we deploy a change to the gateway, the uptime monitor reports APIs down if the time coincides with the monitor check.
  • Do we want to be able to pause the monitor?
  • Do we prefer to receive notifications that APIs are down and up?
  •  Steven and Christian met to talk about the process of pushing code
