Request for Razor Product Input

[Scott McClellan]

Hello All,

I'd love to get some input from the community about Razor. Torquebox, one of Razor's key dependencies, has been abandoned for over a year now. As the maintenance burden is increasing, I'd like to see if our community has opinions on a product direction going forward.

The most immediate question at hand is, which tech stack seems best for us to replace Torquebox? I have looked into puma, and several message queues (RabbitMQ, Delayed::Job, Sidekiq, Resque), which seem feasible.

Longer term, I’m interested in seeing if we can reinvigorate the open-source community around the project. I care about the state of Razor, and want the project to continue serving real needs.

So, users of Razor: What would you like to see improved or changed?

Thanks!

Scott McClellan

This doesn't address your question about Torquebox, but I'd like to see
Razor support CentOS 8, since that's out now and we'd like to be able to
build CentOS 8 hosts. There's been a ticket/issue about this since
September of 2019:
