QA

• Persona Beta train shipped in production 09/28 evening after a very long day. Many thanks to atoll, ozten, lloyd, gene and everyone who made all the code possible.

Five-stars:

• https://github.com/mozilla/browserid/issues/2515 - error when returnTo is empty or set to "/" - stomlinson has fix pending (and has been reviewed, ready to merge)
• https://github.com/mozilla/browserid/issues/2515 - post-mortem on overnight prod monitor email failures
  • jrgm worked with socketlabs api to see if I can get useful info, but the time of delivery numbers provided are way off reality
  • we should consider getting our own account with socketlabs or other to avoid shared queue
  • jedp has a system in place to constantly track times; increase interval?
  • next steps: toxborrow to coordinate; find out what SLA we have, etc.
• https://github.com/mozilla/browserid/issues/2515 - MySQL database doesn't re-connect during deployment w/o restart ★★★★★
