Project Migrator

Requirements

• You must have Deno installed. If you use Homebrew, run brew install deno.

Considerations

• These scripts, migrate.ts and source.ts, are provided strictly as-is. LaunchDarkly Support cannot help run this.

Known issues

• Importing LD API TypeScript types causes an import error, so they are commented out in various spots.
• Types in general are very loose, which Deno is not happy about. The scripts run as JavaScript overall instead of validating the TypeScript first.
• Due to the current API configuration, you cannot have more than 20 environments in a single project.
• Due to considerations around many API requests at once, monitor 400 errors for flag configurations that may not be up to date.

Things you Should Consider when migrating flags?

• What can you scope down? Do all the flags need to moved over or can we use this as a way to clean up the environment?
• Do all my environments need to go? or maybe just a few?
• Am I able to stop edits in the destination project? This script does not keep them in sync, so if changes need to be made they should be prior
• Who is going to run it and how? The calls can take a while, with rate limits, so should I run it on an EC2 or the like?
• If I have thousands or even hundreds of updates: what is critical, how will I verify the changes are correct?

Instructions for use

1. Sourcing data

First, export your source data. The source.ts script writes the data to a newly created source/project/<source-project-key> directory.

Here's how to export your source data:

deno run --allow-env --allow-read --allow-net --allow-write source.ts -p <SOURCE PROJECT KEY> -k <SOURCE LD API KEY>

2. Migrating data

Then, migrate the source data to the destination project. The migrate.ts script reads the source data out of the previously created source/project/<source-project-key> directory. Then it uses the DESTINATION PROJECT as the project key, and updates the destination project using a series of POSTs and PATCHs.

Here's how to migrate the source data to your destination project:

deno run --allow-env --allow-read --allow-net --allow-write migrate.ts -p <SOURCE PROJECT KEY> -k <DESTINATION LD API KEY> -d <DESTINATION PROJECT KEY>

Important note The script currently doesn't support merging two already existing projects - make sure the destination project doesn't exist before executing the migrate.ts script. If you have already created the destination project manually, delete the project before proceeding.

Resources migrated by the script

• Environments
• Flags
  • Flag variations
  • Flag prerequisites
  • Flag individual targets
  • Flag attribute-based targeting rules
• Standard User Segments (no Big Segments)

Pointing to a different instance

Pass in the -u argument with the domain of the other instance. By default, these scripts apply to your projects on app.launchdarkly.com.
