My Notes

Automate restoring deleted migrations?
- https://github.com/edgedb/edgedb-cli/issues/1115
Document Postgres version support?
- https://edgedb.slack.com/archives/CNECHA9EW/p1693306508247509
- Aljaz gave me a partial table showing 3.x and 4.x
- Add field for Postgres version to the bug report template?
  - If so, on which repos?
  - Dev instance or custom deployment?
  - edgedb repo only
Notifications on build failures?
- Do they go out? Can they be more effective?

Meeting Notes

Official stance on rolling back migrations
- Elvis: Ideally, we generate forward and down migrations simultaneously
  - Reuse guidance when we ask questions to allow for simultaneous generation
  - Down migration needs a reverse of statement to generate values when going from required to optional
- Elvis: alternatively, make DDL reversible
  - more fundamental change
  - Sully: more work but more likely to work
- Now, in development, just make a migration that reverts the previous one
  - In production… don’t deploy to production if you haven’t tested
  - Maybe supports bad practices
  - Could hide some implications
    - If you delete a column, you can’t undo because the data is gone
    - If you add a column and revert, whatever data you wrote to it is gone
- Maybe side-by-side migrations are more interesting if we want to devote time to that.
Find a plugin that will notify in Slack on nightly build failures Todo
- Tie to git blame and pester the person who added a test
- Sully: automate a retry first?
  - Elvis: fix flake instead of just retrying
- Check nightly builds periodically Todo
