Ability to schedule deployments / jobs / tasks #2313

Open agilgur5 opened 7 years ago

agilgur5 commented 7 years ago

Was looking for a way to schedule a deployment of a stage, i.e. a way to say "deploy master to stage-x at 3 am each day".

Saw here https://github.com/zendesk/samson/pull/1522#issuecomment-265631900 that background jobs may be "too tedious" to support, but it seemed like this could be as easy as running a cron job at a specified interval to call the code to make a deployment of a revision on a stage. Monitoring it would just be through the regular monitoring for that stage then.

Correct me if I'm missing something because that was my understanding after reading docs and a bunch of PRs and issues.

Periodic deploys might be helpful see https://github.com/zendesk/samson/pull/2175

this will deploy selected stages once a day (you can chose the interval but not the start time)

/fyi @yizhang-zen

As far as I can tell, the interval is also only chosen once globally . Customizing it per deploy would be much more useful. Right now I'm just running a CronJob to hit the deploy webhook as a workaround

using cron sounds like a decent solution ... keeping track of timers etc inside of samson sounds like a lot of work that won't be used by many users and I'd prefer to avoid :)

I would think that the same timers that are used for Locks can be used here, no? Alternatively, if cron is already being used inside of Samson, this could just create / delete cron files

grosser commented 6 years ago

Yeah ... Could create deploys with scheduled at field ... Then make sure to never start them ... And have a timer check/start them every minute or so
