Enable new database load balancer in staging
Details
Point of contact for this request: @brodock
In gitlab-org/gitlab!53147 (merged) we've introduced a change in how our database load balancer query works. As part of validation we've introduced it behind a sort of feature-flag. Because our feature flags rely on the database itself, the only way we could do here is by using and relying on an ENV variable: USE_NEW_LOAD_BALANCER_QUERY
. It is disabled by default.
The plan is to enable it in staging to test it out and switch it to enabled by default before end of the release, if nothing goes wrong.
We should then remove it in next release.
SRE Support Needed
- Set ENV variable on staging environment to
USE_NEW_LOAD_BALANCER_QUERY
totrue
