 Shalok Shalom | you mentioned the database and the backend | 17:34:10 |
 edef | but building a system that can run two things in parallel is still building a fair bit of new system | 17:34:29 |
| edef | In reply to @shalokshalom:dendrite.matrix.org
but is it due to performance characteristics of Perl i think Perl's perf should nowhere be on the hot path | 17:34:44 |
| Shalok Shalom | nice | 17:34:55 |
| edef | for the cache itself, there isn't really any perl on the hot path | 17:35:09 |

but building a system that can run two things in parallel is still building a fair bit of new system should be decoupled as far as possible | 17:35:15 |
| edef | we can't decouple so far that we're running two entirely parallel build pipelines | 17:35:38 |
| edef | we literally can't afford to run two build farms side by side | 17:35:45 |
| Shalok Shalom | Why is Hydra running new builds for the packages new to unstable only every 2 days? | 17:35:48 |

we literally can't afford to run two build farms side by side yeah, that is understandable. I would be tempted to care for that for the testing period. | 17:36:07 |
| edef | that's more about build farm capacity than anything about perl, i think | 17:36:11 |
| edef | i don't have stats on the build farm utilisation, maybe the infra team does | 17:36:31 |
| Shalok Shalom | different opinions about that from different sides | 17:36:36 |
| Shalok Shalom | I heard the word 'clusterfuck' 😃 | 17:37:01 |
| edef | on priors i'd lean towards "we just don't have enough compute" rather than "we're leaving it idle", but talk is cheap, i'd love to see some data | 17:37:11 |
| edef | like, broadly it's not very complicated, we (hopefully) have a Prometheus somewhere and a Grafana dash somewhere that can tell us this | 17:37:39 |
