Notes:

Both Wayne and John were on the meeting going over server speeds and stats. Wayne was showing some logs and pages. Steve and Wayne were looking at logs and server availability and usage. Some of the clients keep growing and are putting more and more demands on the servers. Looking at pure traffic. They got into comparing usage, stats, CPU's, RAM memory, connections, data bandwidth, for some of the bigger boxes. We decided to upgrade a few of the boxes with more specs and options.

Servers can only go so far. If we can streamline the code, it helps way more than just adding new CPU's and more server memory (RAM). That also takes time though. We may have to come up with a balance.

Switching to Emerald Fields and their custom data dumps. They have tons of data but not knowing all of the data relationships. Too much data and they want us to help minimize those technical and almost back-end level needs. Steve and Cory met with Josh on 7/8 and discussed what he needs. As we talked about it, we came up with some thoughts. See below:

- Lots of our API sockets deal with simple data calls and showing that data. The Emerald Fields API sockets are more of deeper look into the database as a whole vs just simple pointed API sockets.

- We need to plan, quote it, break it into pieces, and then follow-up on the smaller pieces. Sometime, too big of a bite is harmful.

- Wayne said - it is like they need a custom report, but instead of giving them a finished report, we are building them new database customer report tables - where they can then pull and filter data from a more raw type source. Interesting view. We build custom reports all the time. This one just happens to be a custom view or custom dataset, in database mode or version, vs a normal custom report.
