DevOps

Items Completed

• Selenium was chosen as our browser-testing solution
• Logging decisions
  • Google Analytics, already used for metrics gathering on frontend, will
    also be used for error-reporting. Client JS logging is a ton of work,
    but has few benefits because of the difficulty distinguishing user
    termination from actual failure.
  • We will use Django’s built-in logging with CloudWatch via Elastic
    Beanstalk/EBS (a service that ties together our AWS products)
• Some brief discussion of having DevOps support some sort of form or service
  to automate media attribution

Action Items

• Add logging for Django
• Verify that Django logging integrates with EBS and CloudWatch the way
  we expect
• Ensure media-attribution service ends up on next week’s agenda
