Sprint 12/16 to 12/23 (short week)

[dmarticus]

Team Flags

Support

• 12-16 to 12-23 @dmarticus
• Let's talk about how to do support for the holidays

Retro

Things we got done

• testing/productionizing new /flags service @dmarticus
  • fixing P0 bugs along /flags hotpath
  • functional testing via django-compat integration tests
• Figure out how to cut off the flags bit of /decide (and, in future /flags) when folks go over – right now we don't stop serving flags when overage happens @dmarticus
  • going to do this in the new /flags endpoint

Things we didn't get done and why

• "real" testing via mirroring traffic to new service
  • still cleaning up results of local/integration tests, not ready for prod traffic just yet
• Continue to look at growth metrics and see what other properties we can add to better understand our growth @dmarticus
  • didn't prioritize
• Feature mgmt progress, support work took over majority of time

Sprint

High priority

• testing/productionizing new /flags service @dmarticus
  • integrate error spans with new error tracking service
  • implement holdout group targeting
  • add more metrics for production testing
  • "real" testing via mirroring traffic to new service
• Feature mgmt crud working end to end, get feedback @havenbarnes

Side Quests

• enforce singleton requirements for the python SDK @dmarticus
• Continue to make sentry more actionable and useful @havenbarnes
• Continue to look at growth metrics and see what other properties we can add to better understand our growth @dmarticus
• Fix team_id label on feature flags grafana dashboard @havenbarnes
• (Look into) adding /decide trx id to $feature_flag_called event @havenbarnes

Things to chew on

• Can we know when people are starting to make new features?

OKRs

1. Ship new feature flags in production and accomplish the 10x scale + 2x speed boost performance targets (ideally decreases infra spend by N% as well, will try to figure out a more specific target going forward)
2. Maintain current /decide service and make optimizations.
