Hey, there. I'm Simon from Southeast University. Now I'm on a research about scheduling web request and experiments for the research need web request data from Wikimedia. This research may also help Wikimedia to improve site performance, especially in enhancing user experience with shortening response time. There are similar goals with Wikimedia, according to: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Annual_Plan/2016-2017/Final#Program_4:_Improve_site_performance
Till now, I have launched a research project and I'd like to set up a formal collaboration with WMF. The project is at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Scheduling_Service_Request_for_Improving_User_Experience_and_Balancing_Resource_Consumption

RobH updated the task description. (Show Details)

Sorry but you have to request a formal collaboration with research team for us to grant access to data. In your case looking at the very brief description of your project it does not seem like a good fit for our research team as their main areas of research are not related to performance. Also you seem to assume we run in a containerized fleet which is not the case. Not sure, I might be misinterpreting your statements but probably you want to look a little bit into our achitecture.

I am closing this ticket, you can reopen if/when your formal collaboration is stablished. Please see: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Research/Formal_collaborations

@Simonjoylet Please be so kind to communicate via this ticket rather than on prior requests for access that are not closed, it is confusing cause it makes it appear as if the original request was not granted.
