Want to see how adopting the MDQ metadata service affects your system's performance?
Here is an in-use memory graph at the moment a university switched to using MDQ in its production IDP servers:
Great results from a Service Provider:
"We were able to switch to using MDQ. The service restarts in 5 seconds now versus 15 minutes."
Service Level Objectives
The production endpoints of this service are designed to meet the following requirements on a best-effort basis:
- 99.9% availability
- <= 200ms per request from clients on the Internet2 network
- Metadata validity window of no less than 5 business days (metadata is valid for 14 days, but may be signed infrequently over extended holiday periods)
- You can see the status of InCommon services on our status dashboard
It's worth noting that since launch, both the technology preview and production environments have had 100% availability.
