Summer 2023 Project:

Week 1 (05/30/23 - 06/02/23)

Tuesday (5/30) My initial thoughts are that documentation is relatively sparse for Abacus from what I have read and been given (have not looked at github yet). I'm a little confused on some of the terms used such as Kubernetes cluster and how scalability is currently implemented. Further I'm currently unsure of the actual structure of abacus right now as the documentation provided to me is from before we made the switch from amazon services and so in the diagram as well as in several of the other documents it shows we are still using S3, Elastic Beanstalk, DynamoDB, and Lambda which I have been lead to believe has changed so I will be looking for clarification as well as delving deeper both before the meeting tomorrow as well as following the meeting tomorrow. Based off of Diagram I am lead to believe that the functon of DynamoDB was wholly replaced with MongoDB and should function as intended, I'm unsure if we have replaced Lambda with something that works in the same capacity to communicate between the DB and Piston. I'm currently unfamiliar with Docker however following tomorrows meeting I plan to begin reading the documentation on docker to better understand its importance to the system outside of the short paragraph that has been provided in the User Guide.
