From YouTube: GitLab 14.1 Kickoff - Enablement:Memory
Description
Kickoff for the 14.1 release for the Memory team.
Planning issue: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/memory-team/team-tasks/-/issues/95
A
Hello
friends
of
well-performing
endpoints
and
application
performance
aficionados,
my
name
is
fabian
simmer
and
I'm
a
group
product
manager
for
the
enablement
stage.
I'm
going
to
walk
you
through
our
plans
for
the
memory
team
for
the
14.1
release,
so
the
first
minor
release
after
our
major
release
in
june
2021.
A
A
To
give
you
the
context
here,
we
run
a
postgres
postgresql
backend
for
gitlab
and
sidekick
for
job
processing,
and
so
in
order
to
to
improve
the
overall
performance
of
that
system,
we
are
focusing
on
enabling
sidekick
to
use
read-only
database
replicas
for
some
of
their
workers
to
reduce
the
load
on
the
primary
postgres
instance.
So
this
should
essentially
spread
the
load
among
different
postgres
instances
and
help
with
overall
system
performance.
So
we've
done
already
a
lot
of
work
here,
and
this
is
specifically
about
sort
of
some
follow-up
work
for
a
subset
of
these.
A
A
A
It
was
just
released
at
the
end
of
december
2020
and
you
know,
you've
maybe
seen
some
of
the
highlights
in
terms
of
performance
increases.
Obviously
this
is
a
complex
area,
so
it's
not
going
to
be.
We
upgrade
to
ruby
3
and
then
everything
will
magically
be
super
fast,
but
ruby
3
has
many
interesting
performance
improvements
and
we
hope
to
be
able
to
take
advantage
of
some
of
them,
so
we've
recently
completed
a
an
upgrade
to
rail
6.1
and
that
actually
unblocks
the
effort
of
moving
to
ruby
3..
A
As
you
can
see,
this
is
actually
a
rather
sizable
chunk
of
work,
just
because
gitlab
is
a
complex
application
and
moving
the
ruby
version
to
three
will
also
entail
updating
many
of
the
gems
and
other
parts
of
the
system
to
support
it.
So
we're
quite
excited
about
it,
because
we
do
hope
that
you
know.
Staying
close
to
the
latest
group
releases
ensures
that
you
know
we
can
benefit
from
some
of
the
new
features
and
overall
performance
improvements.
