Architecture Overview

• Talos creates build
• Talos runs a test
• Sends data from test to:
  • bulk.cgi - for multiple data points
  • collect.cgi - for 1 data point
• bulk.cgi or collect.cgi input into mysql db
• graphs.mozilla.org/graphs.html
  • displays a line graph of the data over time
• Single point on graph is an average(ish) of the tests on that day

Rearchitecture

The current implementation of the graph server database is becoming the bottleneck for improvements. We have created a new database and API for retrieving data.

We are planning on migrating to the new architecture early in Q1.

• Staging server up at: http://graphs-stage2.mozilla.org
• 1.0 Branch on Mercurial
• New Architecture Notes
• New DB Schema
• API
• Morgamic's Proposed Architecture
• Reworking how data to sent to the graph server
• Will require FF 3.1. We are using the new JSON features for parsing and stringifying.

Backdrop

The perfomatic is the Mozilla graph server, and is used to understand how multiple performance metrics change over time. Grasping these relationships is important to understanding how the addition of multiple features affects all facets of speed and performance -- not just the bubbly marketing interpetation of performance -- the real "stuff that matters" kind of performance.
