"Our offices are closed, please call back between 9AM and 9PM" :disappointed:

[rohitpaulk]

There is an international number, but I'm sure that charges are going to be pretty steep...

[chadwhitacre]

Groan.

[chadwhitacre]

Um ...

[chadwhitacre]

So the 888 number I guess routes to PayPal India, ya? Like, you could call there tomorrow and hopefully sort this out? In that case I guess we punt for now and try again next week. Sound right?

[rohitpaulk]

Yep.

How do you want to proceed with this one?

[chadwhitacre]

Wellllllllll, bin/masspay is idempotent, so I should be able to just pick right up over here, right?

[rohitpaulk]

Yh, and it hits Heroku directly - so that's perfect

[chadwhitacre]

Okay, running MassPay ...

[rohitpaulk]

I'll call Paypal tomorrow and see if I can get this sorted out :)

MassPay logs in https://github.com/gratipay/logs/commit/9f5d87dbcf056b484e968ee22365e63d6737a3c7.

[rohitpaulk]

Oh I forgot my logs... On it

[chadwhitacre]

Used Github's commit UI for the first time :dancer:

[chadwhitacre]

Ah, nice! :-)

Okay! Where are we? I shuffled escrow a bit, so I think we're done with PayPal ...

[chadwhitacre]

/me goes back to eating popcorn. :]

11% decline rate (6/54)

[rohitpaulk]

Post mortem.. @whit537 Why are we using backups at all?

[rohitpaulk]

AFAICT - All of our commands hit Heroku directly

[rohitpaulk]

I don't have the time right now, but I'll edit the scripts soon to add -a gratipay to all the heroku commands.

[chadwhitacre]

Why are we using backups at all?

I guess we don't have our backup policies documented anywhere, but it seems like a good idea to me to have a backup somewhere outside of Heroku. Payday seems like a natural time to take said backup. No?

[chadwhitacre]

The practice was also more relevant earlier on, when payday errors would sometimes corrupt the database.

[rohitpaulk]

It makes sense if the backups are stored somewhere (like S3), yes. For now, I think triggering a backup on Heroku just before running the script should suffice :)

when payday errors would sometimes corrupt the database.

Ah, yes.

[chadwhitacre]

@rohitpaulk I've been storing the backups on an external hard drive.

[chadwhitacre]

But we could desync that from payday.

[rohitpaulk]

Sneaky!

[chadwhitacre]

I'm caught! :-)

[chadwhitacre]

Maybe that deserves a reticket? Reviewing and formalizing our backup policies?

[chadwhitacre]

Or data management more broadly?

[chadwhitacre]

11% decline rate (6/54)

It's actually 10% (6 / 60).

[chadwhitacre]

I believe we missed https://gratipay.com/dashboard/1.0-payouts and probably https://gratipay.com/dashboard/ (hard to tell on that one ;-).

[chadwhitacre]

Going to use honcho instead.. Since I have multiple heroku remotes in the same directory, I had to change -a gratipay to the heroku config command

Tweaked in 65ceb75b1cdc9ab4f93828c401dc0cda38a99be5.

[mattbk]

That script spent 5 minutes and we migrated 0 tips :P
