Most of us are used to (and rely on) testing mediawiki itself, as well as components surrounding it (eg. memcached, envoy, etc) using the mwdebug servers. We want to replicate this functionality when we move mediawiki to kubernetes
Proposal
Create a separate kubernetes service or services
Requirements
- have its own metrics and logging where engineers can look when testing changes there
- probably by using its own servergroup
- engineers can deploy experimental code without impeding others
- do not alert on errors etc
- service needs to stay up to date with mediawiki images running on production
- route traffic through XWD
