Tod Olson asked for some additional time for Goals and Objectives subgroup (5-10m)
Some perceived Technical pain points to start with, would like to know how to solicit feedback and input, especially whom should we talk to about this?
Conflation of gateway and discovery, having Okapi serving both roles What are the particulars here? Reliance on HTTP as primary communication Having a message queue be more central to communication model, embrace more thoroughly Dependency graph is complex JSONB storage: storing large objects in JSONB has a lot of CPU overhead to serialize/deserialize when one needs to update discrete fields. See: PostgreSQL JSONB is not for free Over-reliance on synchronous updates, FOLIO may benefit from identifying more operations that can be done in an asynchronous manner; alternately, by distinguishing clearly when synchronous is needed. FOLIO has fallen into "microservice = module", but microservice is "bounded context".
Suggestions:
talk to Raman Auramau and EPAM solution architects, SysOp SIG
explore why we are seeing these pain points and the underlying causes
Some other areas: Version upgrades and required downtime, Observability: need appropriate visibility into the code/operations
