Release and Dependency Management

Joe Ferguson

This is not a Code Talk

What’s “Scale”?

“At Scale”

http://www.pcmag.com/encyclopedia/term/68176/at-scale

“…at the required size to solve the problem…”

What’s “Enterprise”?

http://www.pcmag.com/encyclopedia/term/42637/enterprise

Any undertaking or project, with the implication that it is of reasonable size

and complexity.

Everyone is at “Enterprise” “Scale”

Brands

Enterprise === A lot

We’re a small(ish) team

2 Front End Devs

6 Back end Devs

1 Architect / Product Manager

1 Manager

Foundation of our Applications

Modern*

Well Tested

Semantic Versioning

Peer Approval

Continuous Integration

Client Focused Solutions

Our CMS Application

Start with a strong version control process/strategy

New Feature Git Workflow

Pull master branch

checkout new branch named feature/new-feature-description

Pull master branch

change code <where the magic happens>

Pull master branch

Commit changes and open pull request against the develop branch

Pull master branch

Wait for two peers to approve changes <jeopardy theme plays>

Merge pull request into the develop branch

Commit & Versioning Tools

Emoji in your commits!

Commit tool to automate messages

Identify What Changed

https://github.com/jakeasmith/bump

$ bump major|minor|patch

Wait for package repo to index new version

Deployment Cycles, Waterfalls, Sprints, Kanban, and bears oh my!

Find what works for you

Kanban

Two Week Release Cycle

Code Freeze and Release Branches

Wednesday before release is a Release Candidate Code Freeze

Release branches are created from develop branch

Release branches deployed to staging servers

Testing on Staging Servers

Developers & Clients test changes on staging servers & sign off

From Wednesday to Tuesday is testing time

Production DeploymentTwo Week Release Cycle

Tuesday following the RC freeze is production deploy

Release branches are Merged into master via same 2 peer approval pull request process

Production DeploymentTwo Week Release Cycle

Release branches are Merged into master via same 2 peer approval pull request process

Code is deployed to production

When something breaks…

Hotfixes and Bugfixes

Hotfixes are branches named hotfix/description that are opened against master

Hotfixes are how we patch production

Hotfixes and Bugfixes

Hotfixes are branches named hotfix/description that are opened against master

Hotfixes are how we patch production

Bug fixes are when we find issues after the RC freeze but before RC branch merging to master

Bug fix branches are named bugfix/description that are opened against the release branch

That’s how we deploy features to our CMS

Our CI/CD Hero

Jenkins Automation

Build & Run Tests

Build Docker Images & Test

Build & Deploy Applications

Sound the alarms when something breaks

Slack Notifications in a CI/CD Channel

That’s how we deploy features to our CMS, API,

That’s how we deploy features to our CMS, API, Design Tool,

That’s how we deploy features to our CMS, API, Design Tool, and other standalone applications

Architecture

Design Tool

A lot of shared logic

Enter: “Core”

Architecture

Design Tool

composer require aol/core

*not the actual package name

Control Version Constraints

{ "require": { "aol/core": "^17", }}

Lock To A Minor Version

{ "require": { "aol/core": “^17.10", }}

We now have access to all of the logic in Core in all of our applications

Core Git Workflow

No develop branch

No Hotfixes, or Bugfix branches

All changes are via pull request against master

After PRs are approved and merged version tags are bumped

Semantic versioning is your friend

Individual applications update their own core versions at their own pace (During normal deployment cycles)

Architecture

Design Tool

Version 15.1.3

Version 17.6.13

Version 17.0.0

Remember Scale?

Core is just another application…

“Compromise is essential because there are no ideal solutions, only

trade-offs”

Thomas Sowell - “A Conflict of Vision”
