RIPEstat Quarterly Planning
We have three objectives in publishing our quarterly planning:
- We want to be transparent about the work we are doing
- We want your input on that work and our planning, and we want to document that input, and let you know if and when we can add your suggestions to our planning
- We want an open dialogue with members and community on developments around RIPEstat
We launched this initiative in Q2 2022, and we are open to improving what we publish here and how we do that. So let us know if there are ways we can better present our plans.
If you have any suggestions on how we can improve RIPEstat, you can share them through the RIPEstat Feature Tracker.
We will update this page as our activities progress and continue to share updates on RIPE Labs, on the RIPE NCC Membership Discussion and MAT Working Group (WG) mailing lists, and at RIPE Meetings and other events.
Q3 2022 Plans
Last Updated: 24 June 2022
| Item | Activity | Description | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Migration to the cloud | We are moving parts of RIPEstat to the cloud to make our infrastructure more efficient, resilient and reduce latency for our global user base. We have started with small, low-impact backends and plan to move to more complex parts of the service later. First results are expected to be available in Q3 2022. |
In progress Work continues from Q2 2022. |
| 2 | Service quality monitoring |
We want to improve the monitoring of service quality to provide a more reliable service. |
In progress Work continues from Q2 2022. |
| 3 | Data API revamp |
We are revamping the Data API to make the growing number of data calls more consistent and easier to use. |
In progress Work continues from Q2 2022. |
| 4 | Open-sourcing the RIPEstat widgets |
We will make the source code of RIPEstat widgets available for the community. We plan to open-source the RIPEstat widgets as part of a sustainable long-term maintenance of the old RIPEstat UI. |
In progress Work continues from Q2 2022. |
| 5 | Improved UI testing |
We want to implement automatic UI testing to create a more reliable UI. |
In progress Work continues from Q2 2022. |
| 6 | Improve the blocklist feature |
Triggered by input from the Anti-Abuse WG we are improving the blocklist feature on RIPEstat. |
In progress Work continues from Q2 2022. |
| 7 | ROAs in Routing Consistency |
Based on a feature request, we want to show RPKI ROAs in the Routing Consistency UI (UI2020). The feature is now available and in Q3 we will be focusing on developing the widget. |
In progress Work continues from Q2 2022. |
Community Input on Planning
We want the community to contribute to our plans and suggest additional work items. Please share your comments with us via the RIPEstat Feature Tracker or post them on the RIPE NCC Membership Discussion and MAT WG mailing lists. And we'll be monitoring all the other channels where people talk about these services.
When we receive feedback that can significantly impact our planning or that needs a further response, we will add it to the table below.
| Reference | Input | RIPE NCC Reaction |
|---|---|---|
| RS-2022-#01 | Request to improve the blocklist feature. For more information, check the Anti-abuse WG mailing list archives. |
The work has already started and has been added to the planning (item 6). We first recorded this request in Q2 2022. |
