3. Issue Roundup

   1. https://github.com/Islandora/documentation/issues/1886 - Seth to review this! May need to cut a minor release if this needs to be addressed.

4. Feature Parity Document - Melissa suggested that we can update this document in the tech calls few rows at a time.

5. Performance issues creeping in with larger number of nodes and permissions (and who knows what else) (Willow).

   • There are two sites with similar infrastructure needs. One site is slow, which has the workflow module enabled. Eli is suspecting the performance issue maybe due to permissions or workflow module! The issue is at the Drupal layer. Workflow module is required to meet local use cases.
   • Seth suggested that he ran into similar issues. He used web profiler to analyze this issue. More notes here: https://seth-shaw-unlv.github.io/2021-02-19/content_access_control
   • Not able to download file more than 2G. Able to download it directly from Fedora, but not able to do it from the Drupal frontend. Maybe an issue related to Flysystem.
   • Seth suggested that to enable private file system, and put a big file, and try to replicate the issue. If the issue is reproducible with private file system, then the issue is probably in Drupal core. If not, it is probably in the Flysystem.
   • Danny suggested that another to look into Apache/Tomcat timeout issue, as well as php-fpm timeout issues.
