Deprecate old usage ping
Problem
Our current Product usage data tracking "tool" is unreliable and not very robust.
Proposal
If we are moving forward to use Snowplow in the near future, we should deprecate "usage ping" as it is no longer needed and the continued use of it may confuse people.
Next steps
-
Replace all usage of it with Snowplow tracking -
Archive version.gitlab.com once we are able to pull that data (counts, version check) using Snowplow -
Train and enable GitLabbers to use the term Telemetry data, rather than "usage ping" or Snowplow -
Ensure documentation for current Telemetry data solution is clear and easy to understand and use
