Objective	Key Result	Confidence	Features	Notes
July 19	Aug 2	Aug 16	Aug 30	Sep 13	Sep 27	Score
1. Provide a more useful testing environment for WebPush.	1.1 Create an API Layer for Ardere.	50%							API Layer for Ardere Issue TBD	Currently used through AWS interface. Want more of a command line interface (CLI). 1.1 is a prereq. for 1.3
	1.2 Create a "smoke-test" for the service, a quick test that verifies it’s up and running.								Smoketest to verify Push is up and running Issue # TBD	Need to circle back on assessing confidence level for this one when JR is available, as he is the owner/champion.
	1.3 Github/Jenkins API call integration with Ardere	50%							Github/Jenkins API call integration with Ardere Issue # TBD
2. Better understanding of production run environment	2.1 Detailed heap memory consumption report as the OS sees memory under load.	60%							Detailed heap memory consumption report Issue # TBD	Already began this work
	2.2 Code in PyPy that allows us to dump detailed object graphs of allocated Python objects. Note: Contractor is expected to help with this work. This involves a breakdown of what PyPy is doing.	50%							Detailed object graphs of allocated Python objects Issue # TBD	External dependency on the contractor is a risk. Contractor has been identified and a request submitted via CASA.
	2.3 Create a graph showing the delta for memory consumption over time on a per-release basis.	80%							Memory Consumption Per Release Graph Issue # TBD	A lot of this work is already done. First prototype latest release Next step is to create a dashboard will be datadog or quicksite. Need to run code to extract data metrics.
3. Reduce costs	3.1 Create and implement a Rust PoC plan.	80%							Rust PoC Plan Issue # TBD	Needs full spec from 3.2 so it can do the final binding. Should map out what steps are necessary to bring it up to a production level deploy.
	3.2 Spec a Rust <-> Python API of Rust PoC.	80%							Rust <-> Python API of Rust PoC Issue # TBD	Not spec’d out yet. Documenting how the web socket client interacts with the service. Need for it to undergo Adere load testing.
	3.3 Kill Simplepush.	60%							Retirement of Simplepush Issue 47: Retire SimplePush Issue 799: End Server Support for Simplepush	Will need to remove the code needed to connect to simplepush.
	3.4 Relax VAPID checks for partner endpoints.	60%							Relaxing of VAPID checks for partner endpoints. Issue # TBD	A lot of this work might already be done. Need to check with jr.
