RE: https://hachyderm.io/@freexian/116555001831661560
It was certainly an interesting cooperation between developers and sysadmin to get rid of the performance issues we faced! debusine.debian.net is becoming a non-trivial deployment where scaling issues can create real usability issues for end-users.

In the latest in a series of articles about Debusine, our developers and sysadmins do a deep dive on how they managed to investigate and fix #Debusine workflow performance issues caused by complex interactions between a series of database concurrency and worker communication issues.
It involved delicate work to avoid system deadlocks, optimizing our workflow orchestration, scheduling fixes, worker refactoring and reducing the high database write volume.

"We are looking for candidates who are mission- and values-aligned and specifically care about free and open source software (ideally Debian in particular). The Freexian team is global and fully remote, and this role is open to applicants worldwide."
"If you or someone you know, personally or professionally, would be a good fit, please reach out. Referrals from Debian members will be highly valued."

#Debusine aims to be an integrated solution to build, distribute and maintain a Debian-based distribution. The lower-level pieces of its workflows are called tasks. A few examples are Sbuild, Lintian and Debdiff worker tasks.
Adding a new worker task can help you extend the capabilities of a Debusine instance.
Our new blogpost - https://www.freexian.com/blog/debusine-write-task/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social covers how to write one with a detailed example of adding a worker task that runs reprotest.

We bid adieu to 2025 with a post detailing how files are stored by Debusine.
Read about how abstractions for low-level file storage and object collections in Debusine allows storage to be scalable beyond a single filesystem and be highly available. It also goes into detail about how data duplication is minimized using content-addressed storage.

Ever thought about APT compatible add-on package repositories for Debian? Like PPAs but having proper compatibility with #Debian, QA tests and automatic built-in snapshot capabilities?
Glad to announce #Debusine repositories are now in public beta for Debian developers and maintainers.
