tl;dr: We have open data on Wikimedia production deployments. Read Diving into Deployment Data to learn more (or read on, I guess).

If you’ve ever experienced the pride of seeing your name on MediaWiki's contributor list, you've been involved in our deployment process.

This realization inspires questions – we have 📈 data to answer those questions!

We wrote a blog (Research folks did the hard parts): ⚙️Phabricator: Diving Into Our Deployment Data
The data is open: 🦊 GitLab train-stats
Play with the live data (if you'd rather dive into SQL): 💾 data.releng.team

Thanks!
