[Wikitech-l] Re: 🚀 TK-999 receives Web Perf Hero award!

Hi, I'm happy to share that the next Web Perf Hero award (for 2023 Q4) goes to TK-999, in recognition of their contributions, which made a huge positive impact on the performance of Wikimedia software. TK-999 worked on improving MediaWiki’s autoloading mechanism < https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/853972> ( https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T274041) specifically for classes which have been namespaced, by including them in the classmap. This means our autoloader will not spend significant amounts of time searching for files in directories, but rather just do a direct lookup. This approach is particularly optimized for speed and as a result, Wikipedia’s backend response time gained a 20% increase in the portion of requests that complete within 50ms. This award is given once a quarter, and manifests as a Phabricator badge.
