Distribution: 2020.11.03 - Amazing Otter

Plan

Support new and existing deployments

This is an ongoing expense, we anticipate this taking no more than 5d of work spread across the entire team.

Releases are created in a single day

We have a goal of reducing the time it takes to create releases, and this current several-day system has encouraged us to view releases as “baked” rather than “snapshots of the main branch”, leading to situations where main is broken and we have to retrospectively fix it or adding last minute features.

Market k8s.sgdev.org internally

Make k8s.sgdev.org a compelling destination for Sourcegraph engineers to encourage dogfood. Changes should mostly be surface-level improvements.

Implement 2+ sourcegraph.com services using dhall

sourcegraph.com sees the highest amount of Kubernetes changes out of all of our deployments + deploy-sourcegraph. Scoping a single component limits the customizations that we need to implement and allows for easier onboarding other engineers.

Availability

Period is from November 3rd to November 14th (9 working days). Please write the days you won't be working and the number of working days for the period. This is a shorter iteration to align sprints with weeks.
