Notes

Nurax : Max brought forward a proposal to facilitate an automatic deploy to Nurax (DEV) every time there is a commit to the main branch. The Tech Crew agrees that it would be a great idea.
After looking into the CircleCI issues around the two PR's above, it was proposed that we put our efforts into getting access to the Nurax servers for a few developers who could then assist and troubleshoot the deploys.
Tamsin will put together that list and Max will take up the idea with DCE.

Everyone thanked Max and expressed the importance and real world use of Nurax to confirm and troubleshoot bug. I find it very useful in differentiating between a local application error and a Hyrax error.
