804225 - Bedrock should pickup changes to product-details without requiring a server restart

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(www.mozilla.org :: Bedrock, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Paul [:pmac] McLanahan]

manage.py update_product_details is run via cron every 15 min in production. This is ineffectual however because the new values are only picked up on server restart. This should be fixed in bedrock so that these values are as fresh as possible, and fewer apache restarts are required.

I've submitted a PR to django-mozilla-product-details to allow reload from disk based on file mtimes.

This will solve it if I can get it merged.

Is this still needed?

It is, but it will be solved with the new product-details API that should be coming from release management. I think we can close this and open a new bug when that lands.
