Hi everyone,

This is an information only message. There is no action required.

We're excited to announce that Catalyst is now available in public beta on
Patchdemo!

Catalyst is an API that wraps a purpose-built CI Kubernetes cluster.
Patchdemo uses Catalyst to deploy demos in their own pods, separated from
other deployments. Catalyst adds isolation and an easier path forward to
scale as more people use it. In the future, Catalyst will enable more
complex testing topologies where, for instance, a service is needed
alongside MediaWiki to test an extension that relies on that service.

To kick the tires of the new Catalyst backend, you can visit
https://patchdemo.wmcloud.org and check the "Use experimental Kubernetes
backend" checkbox. The experience is mostly the same as the non-Catalyst
use-case, except you'll see that logs are streamed from Kubernetes.

During the public beta, this checkbox will default to being unchecked. We
are eagerly accepting feedback on our Phabricator board:
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/catalyst/ . You can also reach out on
IRC to kindrobot or thcipriani on #wikimedia-cloud. You can read more about
Catalyst at https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Catalyst .

Best,

Stef Dunlap and the Catalyst team
