  "textContent": "Over the last month at Tweag, we have been working on modernizing `hackage-server` in particular moving from the acid-state use to the relational database, see Migrating away from acid-state · Issue #1486 · haskell/hackage-server · GitHub .\n\nAs we dug deeper into the project, we realized that doing this properly requires significantly more effort than initially expected, and would involve a fairly large rewrite.\n\nAs a result of that research, we have prepared a community proposal for modernizing `hackage-server`. The proposal includes the rationale, the proposed architecture, and a migration plan that would allow an iterative, zero-downtime, controllable migration to the new architecture, without requiring disruptive changes to the existing codebase.\n\nWe would be very happy to hear feedback, concerns, and suggestions from the community.\n\nLink to a proposal: Propose modernising hackage-server project by qnikst · Pull Request #67 · haskellfoundation/tech-proposals · GitHub\nRendered version is available at tech-proposals/proposals/0000-modernising-hackage-server.md at tweag/proposal-modernising-hackage-server · tweag/tech-proposals · GitHub",
