Since Discourse will be migrated over to the new infra, does this involve switching over to Auth0 as well? If not, when is that planned?

Switching Discourse to the new infra is a preparation step for the Persona-to-Auth0 migration (IAM Package B). Depending on how things go we will decommission Persona on Discourse either this week or at the latest on Monday. Fingers crossed!

Thank you Henrik for keeping us in the picture. Fascinating to see how much work is going on in the background!
Many thanks for taking time out from what is obviously a busy and stressful schedule to document progress and keep us updated.

Hi @Spike1, thanks for the recognition. Really cool!!

No problem at all - it is all too easy to forget all the work that goes to keep out technical infrastructure working. Most people only notice when it is broken :frowning:
Best regards
