<h3 dir="auto">Problem</h3>
<p dir="auto">It would be great to have a section in <a href="https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md">CONTRIBUTING.md</a> that gives a bird's eye view about servers and services of the OSM website.</p>
<p dir="auto">This came up for me recently when…</p>
<ul dir="auto">
<li>we talked about if there is a staging system to test out <a class="issue-link js-issue-link" data-error-text="Failed to load title" data-id="1887739077" data-permission-text="Title is private" data-url="https://github.com/osmfoundation/ewg_bidding/issues/8" data-hovercard-type="pull_request" data-hovercard-url="/osmfoundation/ewg_bidding/pull/8/hovercard" href="https://github.com/osmfoundation/ewg_bidding/pull/8">osmfoundation/ewg_bidding#8</a></li>
<li>I commented on <a class="issue-link js-issue-link" data-error-text="Failed to load title" data-id="1482565414" data-permission-text="Title is private" data-url="https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/issues/3831" data-hovercard-type="issue" data-hovercard-url="/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/issues/3831/hovercard?comment_id=1748010807&comment_type=issue_comment" href="https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/issues/3831#issuecomment-1748010807">#3831 (comment)</a> and was wondering if there is a queuing system</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">I am sure is information on this elsewhere, but I suggest to collect and link it as a section "Overview of deployment, server and services" at the end of <a href="https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md">CONTRIBUTING.md</a></p>
<p dir="auto">If we collect some links and info in comments here, I can create a draft for this section.</p>
<p dir="auto">A few questions I think this section could answer:</p>
<ul dir="auto">
<li>What is the production server architecture of the website (# of application server, deployment process)</li>
<li>Is there a queuing system / which and some relevant specs</li>
<li>Is there a system in place to use <a href="https://guides.rubyonrails.org/action_cable_overview.html" rel="nofollow">Action Cable</a>? AFAIK we don't but could we?</li>
<li>Relevant notes on the database server</li>
<li>Relevant notes on the staging / testing server</li>
<li>AFAIK there is not dev > staging > production deployment but the staging instances are used as needed, right?</li>
</ul>
<hr>
<p dir="auto">Site note: I first thought this would be something to put into an <code class="notranslate">ARCHITECTURE.md</code> <a href="https://matklad.github.io/2021/02/06/ARCHITECTURE.md.html" rel="nofollow">https://matklad.github.io/2021/02/06/ARCHITECTURE.md.html</a> which became a kind of standard for some projects. However, it looks like this doc would be more a of a code architecture overview which we IMO do not need due to rails standards. This issue is more about the system architecture and related processes.</p>
