Scalability + A scalable service should be able to process increases in load without +obvious degradation of latency or availability. For Zaqar, "load" can refer to +various dimensions of usage: + 1) number of queues + 2) number of publishers + 3) number of subscribers + 4) number of messages + 5) size of messages + 6) rate of messages published or consumed +We have merged the OSProfiler patch in Ocata, so it would be nice to leverage +it to do more benchmarks to improve above metrics. + +2. Availability + Fortunately, Zaqar has a simple architecture which makes keeping its +availability relatively easy. That said, we need to improve the behaviours of +Zaqar so that it can gracefully failing over in a way that is unnoticeable to +end users. + +3. Latency + Latency is a typical time-based measure for the performance of a system. +Obvious, Zaqar would like to minimize latency wherever possible. There are two +most important latency metrics I would like to improve in Pike are: + 1) The amount of time to claim a message + 2) The amount of time to deliver a message from publisher zaqar server + 3) The amount of time to deliver a message from zaqar to subscriber + +4. Encourage diversity in our Community + We are still a small team needs to grow. I would like to encourage more +people, organizations to join Zaqar community to make sure we have a good +coverage. + +It's a fantastic experience working with this amazing team and I know without +the dedication and hard work of everyone who has contributed to Zaqar we can't +make those success stories of Ocata happen. I would be pleased to serve +as PTL for another cycle and I'd appreciate your vote. + +Thanks for your consideration!
