907513 - Build individual server components ala persona.org

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(Cloud Services :: Server: Firefox Accounts, defect)

Description

[James Bonacci [:jbonacci]]

Taken from this github issue:
https://github.com/mozilla/picl-idp/issues/106





persona.org organises itself into several distinct services, e.g. the "router" and "dbwriter" and "keysigner". This tends to be useful for security and operational reasons:

I think we should do the same here unless there are compelling arguments otherwise, since the shape of the service is quite similar to persona.org.

(No rush to implement it, just want to put it on the radar)

I think we have this now for Stage:
auth
content
scrypt
db

:rfkelly, if you agree, please mark this as fixed.
Thanks.

Nope, this bug is about something different.  It's a code-level restructuring of the server into distinct processes, so I think the original github issue is a more appropriate place to track it at this stage.

we decided to de-prioritize this and we'll track it in github, closing this one out

Fine with me.
