	1.2 Create a "smoke-test" for the service, a quick test that verifies it’s up and running.	50%	50%						Smoketest to verify Push is up and running Issue 40: New smoke-tester for autopush Issue 73: Rebuild testing python script for webpush	Work has begun. Created push-test, but will fork ap-loadtest to create far better version.
	1.3 Github/Jenkins API call integration with Ardere	50%	50%						Github/Jenkins API call integration with Ardere Issue 41: Jenkins API integration with Ardere	Dependent upon 1.1
2. Better understanding of production run environment	2.1 Detailed heap memory consumption report as the OS sees memory under load.	60%	65%						Detailed heap memory consumption report Issue 42: Detailed heap memory consumption Issue 76: Detail autopush heap's memory under load Issue 802: determine cause of memory leak on pypy (especially connection) nodes	Have done some planning.

	2.3 Create a graph showing the delta for memory consumption over time on a per-release basis.	80%	90%						Memory Consumption Per Release Graph Issue 44: Dashboard for memory use over time	Have a dashboard that provides this information.

Issue 48: Relax VAPID checks for Partner Endpoints Issue 938: Don't check Vapid sig value for partner endpoint users	Rolled out on stage for testing purposes but haven’t done it for any partners yet.
