Kappakayala added a comment to T403559: Add CommunityRequests tables to production.

Hi @MusikAnimal, Thanks for opening this task. We will certainly will take care of this task. Just wanted to call out that currently Data persistence team is understaffed and some being on-call this week. We already have planned prioritized work for this week and next. We will evaluate if there is any of the planned work can be paused to take on this early next week. For prioritization purposes. it would be really helpful if you can share some details on the hard timeline of 8th September in the task.

Hi @daniel , as the Svc Ops team is figuring out what needs to be done, I would like to understand the priority of this task. The reason I am asking this is looks like there needs to be some ground work done and then implemented. Next week most of the team members are out for Easter. Is it possible for team members to pick this as soon as team members are back after easter week?
