# RFC 019: Platform Reliability

## Purpose

This RFC proposes a set of actions to improve the reliability of the Wellcome Collection platform, based on a review of current issues and discussions with the team.

**Last modified:** 2020-03-20T15:57:38+00:00

## Context

Following on from a review of current reliability issues, here is aggregated what was discussed into some proposals for action.

The discussion split into 3 major areas:

* [Continuous Integration / Continuous deployment](/request-for-comments-rfcs/019-platform_reliability/ci_cd.md) : Handling automated testing & deployment.
* [Observability](/request-for-comments-rfcs/019-platform_reliability/observability.md): Logging, metrics, tracing, alerting.
* [Reliability](/request-for-comments-rfcs/019-platform_reliability/reliability.md): Acceptance/Integration testing in the catalogue pipeline and the front-end.
