Development Instructions

Set up

- brew install node (or brew equivalent)
- brew install heroku/brew/heroku
- heroku login
- optional but helpful: heroku autocomplete (and follow instructions)
- setup staging and production remote, run these commands in this order
1. heroku git:remote -a replicache-license-staging
2. git remote rename heroku staging
3. heroku git:remote -a replicache-license
- verify your remotes are correct

git remote -v

output should look like this:

``
heroku https://git.heroku.com/replicache-license.git (fetch)
heroku https://git.heroku.com/replicache-license.git (push)
origin git@github.com:rocicorp/licensing.git (fetch)
origin git@github.com:rocicorp/licensing.git (push)
staging https://git.heroku.com/replicache-license-staging.git (fetch)
staging https://git.heroku.com/replicache-license-staging.git (push)
`

- install Docker, run it, and configure
Settings to start when you log in (if you'd like)
- install postgres (for the psql cli, we use docker to actually
run postgres) eg brew install postgresql
- create a .env file in the root directory of the project with contents:
`
DATABASE_URL="postgresql://testuser:testpw@localhost:5433/test"
`
Note: currently the same db is used by tests and when you run the server
locally. It's wiped each start/test but still, that's lame. See note in
docker-compose.yml and feel free to fix this.

Common tasks

- IMPORTANT: npm run start is for production. The prod db is persistently
running so doesn't need to be started. When running locally we need to start a local,
dockerized db; use npm run start_local to start up locally.

$3

- connect to local db:
- npm run start_test_db
- npx prisma migrate dev
- source ./.env && psql $DATABASE_URL
- generate a migration:
- npx prisma migrate dev --name foo generates the new migration
- npx prisma generate generates the new client
- dev migration compaction: to compact several new, locally applied migrations (do not do this in production, or if they have been applied in prod, unless you are resetting the prod db, which you probably should not be)
1. bring up the local db eg npm run start_test_db && npm run migrate_test_db
2. remove the migration rows in the db from the _prisma_migrations table
3. remove the migration dirs from primsa/migrations
4. run npx prisma migrate dev which will generate a new migration AND RESET THE LOCAL DB
- BACKUPS
- automatic physical backups happen continuously and are saved for a week and can be restored using rollbacks
- logical backups happen every 24h at 2am pacific time and are kept for ~30 days (heroku pg:backups:schedule --at '02:00 America/Los_Angeles' --app replicache-license)
- capture a manual logical backup:
- heroku pg:backups:capture --app replicache-license
- list logical backups:
- heroku pg:backups --app replicache-license
- restore from a logical backup:
- heroku pg:backups:restore --app replicache-license

$3

We have two environments:

1. staging: app replicache-license-staging remote name 'staging'
2. production: app replicache-license remote name 'heroku'

Env vars, resources, etc. are NOT automatically reflected from prod to staging, you need to remember to add them both places eg:

`
heroku config:set --a replicache-license-staging FOO=bar
heroku config:set --a replicache-license FOO=bar
`

$3

- to push from main: git push heroku main or git push staging main
- to push from someother branch: git push someother:main

To deploy to staging:

`


Copy prod db to the staging db:

heroku pg:copy replicache-license::DATABASE_URL DATABASE_URL -a replicache-license-staging --verbose

TODO: should probably be pushing from a release branch

Push the code, assuming you want to push from main. This should

happen after copying the prod db because it will run migrations.

git push staging main

Create a license on staging (using the licensing package get-license)

rm $(which get-license-cmd)
npm run build && npm link
npx get-license-cmd -s
`

To deploy to production:

`
heroku maintenance:on -a replicache-license
git push heroku main



heroku maintenance:off -a replicache-license
`

$3

It's often more convenient to just roll forward, but here are the useful commands:

`
heroku releases -a
heroku releases:info vXX -a
heroku rollback vXX -a
`

More info.

$3

- to tail logs: heroku logs --tail -a `
- view logs in Datadog: https://app.datadoghq.com/logs?query=service%3Alicensing
- view logs in heroku: https://dashboard.heroku.com/apps/replicache-license/logs
- how it works:
- heroku works out of the box with an https log drain to datadog which we enabled for prod
- added a custom datadog attribute for our log levels (INF, DBG, etc) and added a status remapper to a new pipeline. instructions
