2 years ago In general I am in favor of it but I wonder What would be the deprecation procedure
- When do you expect the deprecation to happen?
- What is the scope of the deprecation beyond the service itself: documentation, tutorials, blogs/videos that need amendment, etc?
- Will there be a grace period for users during which they can migrate and during which they would receive security fixes?
- Do we plan to remove artifacts after the end of the grace period?

This issue serves as an announcement that we will be deprecating this service soon - details below
We plan to deprecate and archive generic-executor-service in favour of job-executor-service - if you're interested in learning more about job-executor, please have a look at https://medium.com/dynatrace-engineering/a-tool-to-execute-them-all-the-job-executor-service-ae0e33bedb3b .
The reason behind this deprecation is very simple: We want to ensure the best quality of experience for our end-users, and drive new users towards the well maintained and tested job-executor-service.
To start with, we will provide a simple migration guide. In the future we plan to provide a more detailed migration guide covering multiple use-cases of generic-executor-service.
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns below, thanks!
FAQ
What does it look like when it's deprecated?
The repo will be archived on GitHub and we will add a note on top of the README - see https://github.com/keptn-contrib/dynatrace-sli-service for example
When is this going to happen?
Unless any major blockers come up, it will be done roughly at first half of March 2022.
Will I still be able to use the service / download artifacts / install it?
Yes, we are not removing any of these. However, we are not actively maintaining those artifacts, there are no security updates, bug fixes, etc... to it. We strongly advise to migrate to job-executor-service.
I am currently using generic-executor-service, can you help me migrate to job-executor-service?
We will be creating a migration guide in the future. For now, there is no immediate need to switch to job-executor-service. Nevertheless, we strongly advise to take a look at the documents linked above and try out job-executor-service. Also, please let us know via a comment that you are interested in a migration guide, and which kind of setup you are using (this will help us to identify the level of detail of migration guides).
