Arch Forum 2024-09-12

Participants: Backend devs, Magnuz, Zak, Andy and Victor

Agenda

  • Enable Autodeploy to stage?
  • Full request/response logging?
  • DataDog overview

Notes

Enable Autodeploy to stage? It started with a basic question, do we need the manual approval for deploying to stage? The answer was unanimously no.

Afterwards a discussion around why we have both dev and stage followed with a number of questions:
- Do we need dev at all?
- We can disable the dev regression tests, at least since we don't use them?
- Should it be possible to skip some step in the pipeline?
- Would it be good with a "pre-prod" type of environment between stage and prod, maybe connected to prod 3rd party accounts?
- Since we don't use dev for "normal" testing, would it be good to use it for deploying PR branches to instead?

Victor will follow up on this, both with QA and platform team and likely in a coming Arch Forum.

Full request/response logging?: A short discussion around "raw"/full request/response logging and push to data warehouse. Not much new, but we can agree that this feature would be nice to have.

DataDog overview: Second half of the meeting was a demo/overview of what we have in DataDog, and showing some minor features (like rollup and top). More or less an in-depth of our wiki page on Metrics/DataDog
