Operations Updates

• idling, waiting for the Vault/Atlas stuff to change how we do configuration
• "more stable test environment"
  • should we allow writes from local devs???
  • Terraform maybe to the rescue
  • Clone stage DBs
    • we think we need ES *and* PG
  • "relatively light lift [to get done]"
  • lars: get a flow of prod crashes directed to your own thing important
  • Might be hard to build for a specific feature branch (e.g. terraform deploy per PR)

Project Updates

• In two weeks we switch TCBS and Crashes per User, by default, to be the SuperSearch based ones.
  • old and new equivalents will have links back and forth
  • mbrandt has already switched his tests to run on the reports
• the great poison pill crash of October
  • guarding against this in the future?
    • not infinite re-attempts
    • fallback storage should redirect to another rabbitmq or S3
      • let's file a bug!
    • lonnen: should be use ulimit to cap stackwalker from bloating? lars: yes, and time timeout (subprocess)
      • let's file a bug!
  • symbols was probably the cause of the memory bloat

• crash-analysis
  • peterbe: still waiting for graphics to ack the new report
  • lars? correlation scripts

other business

• Python 3? [adrian]
  • webapp, yeah, maybe
  • leeroy, well, probably hard
  • configman, far away still
• what is our bus factor for AWS? [adrian]
  • low risk because lonnen and rhelmer and phrawtzy are still "around"
• extract out socorro-collector and socorro-processors
  • Terraform work, earlier this year, planned for this
  • common-socorro library and connecting distinct repos by PyPI alike
  • breaking out the collector would be "25 lines of code" --lars
  • lars is not convinced :)
