Week 906

This was another short week due to the late May bank holiday. James returned from his travels to the Isles of Scilly while Chris headed off to the Wye valley for a week with the family. It’s half term so I’ve only worked part time while juggling childcare.

James and I have continued working on the performance improvements that Chris and I started last week. We’re working to break apart some long running Sidekiq jobs into much smaller jobs that can benefit from horizontal scaling. We’re making progress but it’s been a bit slow going as we found a few other things that needed fixing along the way, and are still dealing with a flakey end to end test suite.

Today has been about catching up on email, messages and GFR admin that I’ve been neglecting for a while. I’m hoping that by the end of today I’ll feel a bit more on top of things…

Until next time.
