Enable Topology Service client for production GitLab application
# Production Change
## Change Summary
Enable the Topology Service client for GitLab.com (cell-1) in production. This allows the Rails application to communicate with the Topology Service via mTLS certificates for cell routing functionality.
### Change impact
As a consequence of this change, the GitLab Rails application running on gitlab.com infrastructure will be treated as one isolated `legacy cell` (cell-1). All authenticated and unauthenticated requests will have a `cell-1` prefix added to the `_gitlab_session` cookie. HTTP Router will start classifying the requests against Topology Service. HTTP Router will initiate classification by sending a payload of the `_gitlab_session` cookie to the Topology Service (Runway) `/v1/classify` endpoint and receive a classification response. Most of the requests will be cached on the HTTP Router worker side, which will reduce the load on Topology Service.
By enabling this configuration, Topology Service will be part of the critical path for gitlab.com request flow.
**Risk: High** — The Topology Service client is on the critical path for user request flow, as it leverages the `/v1/classify` route for all web requests.
### Epic
This Change Request is part of: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-infra/tenant-scale/cells-infrastructure/team/-/work_items/553
### Escalation path
HTTP Router and Topology service are managed and maintained by ~"group::cells infrastructure" and ~"group::tenant services", in case of emergency contact the following slack channels:
* `#g_tenant_services` Engineering manager: @jarv
* `#g_cells_infrastructure` Engineering manager @daveyleach
### Failure story
Previous attempt to enable this configuration led to production [incident](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-infra/production/-/work_items/21146)
FCL Epic: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/feature-change-locks/-/work_items/77
All FCL follow ups have been resolved.
### Prerequisites
Here is the list of all prerequisites has been made to make sure this configuration change is smooth and transparent.
* Topology service has been configured to enable legacy cell configuration: https://ops.gitlab.net/gitlab-com/gl-infra/cells/topology-service-deployer/-/merge_requests/144
* Topology service health check has been deployed and tested on [`gprd-cny`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-infra/k8s-workloads/gitlab-com/-/merge_requests/5253)

## Rollback
### Rollback steps - steps to be taken in the event of a need to rollback this change
*Estimated Time to Complete (mins)* - 30 minutes
- [ ] In case issues found during rolling out to `gprd-cny` environment, the fastest way to mitigate it is to drain the canary (stop all production traffic to canary stage)
- [ ] run in `#production` Slack channel: `/chatops gitlab run canary --disable --gprd`
- [ ] In case issues is widespread and affecting most of production traffic, as immediate mitigation, we should disable Cloudflare routing rule for `gitlab.com/*` and exclude HTTP Router from the requests flow.
- [ ] Remove `gitlab.com/*` routing rule from [CloudFlare configuration](https://dash.cloudflare.com/852e9d53d0f8adbd9205389356f2303d/workers/services/view/production-gitlab-com-cells-http-router/production/settings)
- [ ] **Note**: If routing rule removed from CloudFlare manually, it will be reenabled on the next Terraform run per this [code](https://ops.gitlab.net/gitlab-com/gl-infra/config-mgmt/-/blob/cef7158f9e92fae0e8aaa93f7ea78f74f9440dc5/environments/gprd/cloudflare-workers.tf#L9). Create MR to disable this, in case we need to remove this rule permanently.
- [ ] Rollback `gprd` [MR](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-infra/k8s-workloads/gitlab-com/-/merge_requests/5271)
- [ ] Rollback `gprd-cny` [MR](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-infra/k8s-workloads/gitlab-com/-/merge_requests/5270)
- [ ] Set label ~"change::aborted" `/label ~change::aborted`
## Monitoring
### Key metrics to observe
<!--
* Describe which dashboards and which specific metrics we should be monitoring related to this change using the format below.
-->
- Metric: topology-rest Service RPS
- Location: [topology-rest Service RPS](https://dashboards.gitlab.net/d/topology-rest-main/topology-rest3a-overview?from=now-1h&orgId=1&timezone=utc&to=now&var-PROMETHEUS_DS=mimir-runway&var-environment=gprd&viewPanel=panel-1625573293)
