Deployer possibly triggering excessive downstream pipelines
Here's a full Staging through Production pipeline: https://ops.gitlab.net/gitlab-com/gl-infra/deployer/-/pipelines/275695
In the period between Canary finishing and promoting to Production, I took this screenshot:
And asked on Slack:
Why does a currently-running Canary deploy seemingly have downstream production QA pipelines?
Why are there multiple for each environment (3x production, 4x staging)?
There appears to be 2 QA smoke pipelines for Staging:
- https://ops.gitlab.net/gitlab-org/quality/staging/-/pipelines/275767
- https://ops.gitlab.net/gitlab-org/quality/staging/-/pipelines/275782
And then This is by design, see #1224 (comment 417820300)gprd-cny-gitlab-qa-smoke-main
looks to have triggered Production QA pipelines:
