Agenda

• Service state / Risk
• Techy Backlog

Notes

Service state / Risk: Liangxiong had a case in Risk where there are multiple API calls to the same service, and the question is if these could/should share state somehow. Basically there's one call to load rules to determine variables, and then another one to make a decision which also will load rules. We concluded that using a cache (like today) is ok, but otherwise it's best with no shared state.

Techy Backlog: We took a look at the Backend Thoughts document, specifically all the "High" importance items. After review, only one item that is directly backend is left (improve SP change script handling). The other high items were already started, deprioritized to medium/low or relates mainly to platform team. However, we during discussion a couple of new items came up (how to deploy DB with ArgoCD, rewrite locking to use SQL Server instead of Redis, make regression tests stable).
