AP Persistent Server - Document Needs and Requirements

[gracekretschmer-metrostar]

User Story or Problem Statement

OCTO needs to understand what is needed to implement a persistent server for Next Build to achieve the goal of on demand publishing of new content to VA.gov.

Description or Additional Context

The AP team is planning on implementing the first phase of the Next Build implementation in the next few sprints and will be finishing their task order in early October. Before their task order is completed, we want to brainstorm and capture what is needed for next steps in the Accelerated Publishing work, specifically how and where to implement a persistent server to achieve the goal of on demand publishing, so that VA OCTO understands what is needed to move this work forward.

Steps for Implementation

• Transform the brainstorming page into a first draft of a scope of work
• Find the gaps in the existing documentation to determine where and how to fill those gaps.
• Partner with Platform leadership to understand what is needed for security and uptime considerations.
• Partner with VA Product Owners and Tech Leads to determine what else is needed for the documentation.
• Fold findings into a final document.

Acceptance Criteria

• [x] Documentation is created that allows VA OCTO stakeholders to understand what is needed to implement the persistent server

Next steps: review existing software approved by the TRM would be ideal.
