Hi all, I'm not sure where the best place to post this request would be, so I figured I'd start here. If there is a better place, or someone I should contact directly, please let me know.
So, I haven't found much in my research about best practices for running multiple large, busy wikis across multiple servers. As such, I am very interested in discussing architectural considerations at the various layers (e.g. web server, database, caching, operating system, hardware, deployment, config management) with someone with first-hand experience in running larger, busier wikis, especially Wikipedia itself. :) I originally posted a thread on this list back in mid-November titled "Troubleshooting stuck Apache requests". I did get some feedback from a few people, for which I am thankful, and fortunately the problem seems to have disappeared, at least for the moment, despite not having done anything. (It's possible our community members may have acted upon a couple of emails we'd sent them regarding certain kinds of pages and templates.) I followed up that list thread with a /r/mediawiki post <https://redd.it/3t2apu> discussing my hardware and software architecture in much more depth, but didn't receive a single reply. Thus, I'm really hoping to find people with the appropriate knowledge and experience who would be willing to have an in-depth conversation on these topics. I'd be happy to have such a discussion on this list, but if you prefer to email me directly for whatever reason, that would be great as well. Thanks!
