Armin Ronacher @mitsuhiko Flask / Sentry / Lektor
̿ SENTRY ̀
None
None
None
̿ THE TWO PRODUCTS ̀
sentry vs ‘getsentry’
sentry open source repo on-premise monthly releases
‘getsentry’ billing & quotas depends on sentry hourly deploys
̿ THE GOALS ̀
deploy in seconds be unable to screw up and if
you do: instant rollbacks
tag a release once a month
̿ WORKFLOW ̀
commit review integration deploy
requires good test coverage requires good local setup makes it
easier for newcomers
̿ COMMITTING ̀
lint on commit!
1 Release / Month 5 Deployments / Day On Prem:
Hosted:
None
master is stable
1. branch off master 2. pull request 3. merge
all the pull requests
!! AVOID DOWNTIME !!
postgres <3 transactional ddl, concurrent indexes, cheap alter table add
nullable columns
bidirectional compatibility
separation of state and connections
̿ CONTINUOUS TESTING ̀
sentry travis-ci.org test all the code
‘getsentry’ travis-ci.com test code relevant for us
̿ CONTINUOUS DELIVERY ̀
FREIGHT wait for travis > build > ship
bidirectional communication with the main slack channel
dev never matches prod :(
thus: fast rollbacks! (backwards + forwards compatibility)
̿ CODE STRUCTURE ̀
large systems are organisms
not all things will run the same code at the
same time
data schema ~ code behavior
break up larger features
feature flag it! (we shipped some code to on-prem we
backed out)
̿ MOVING PARTS ̀
keep dev basic: fewer parts
do not diverge dev from prod too much
virtual machines and docker are not an acceptable dev environment
̿ REPRODUCIBLE BUILDS ̀
pip freeze / npm shrinkwrap
nothing is more frustrating than a failed deploy because a
dependency of a dependency of a dependency of a dependency pushed out a broken release
build once > ship to many
̿ MONITOR FAILURES ̀
associate failures to users
map support requests to failures
use sentry :-)
̿ FRIENDLY ROBOTS ̀
replace yourself!
bots and webhooks
github hooks
notify to communication hub
̿ BETTER CLIMATE ̀
the more robots, the better the integration, the smaller the
fear of doing damage
If you can launch a feature on your first day
of work that's motivating
also: happy customers
