Abstract

Infrastructure change, and you have this lingering fear about testing tested quite enough for the only workload that matters, your production? You should use the good SCARY, a Wikimedia sponsored development that measures and mirrors production workloads and provides consumable facts. Its easy of use migrates you from fear to confidence, which is where all infrastructure changes should happen.
