Service Ping: Deprecate promoted_issues metric
As part of the effort to move Service Ping for gitlab.com to the data warehouse, the data team needs to load all tables that Service Ping uses into Snowflake. In the slack thread below, there is some discussion about product_analytics_events_experimental
being used by Service Ping.
There is one metric, named promoted_issues
, that was added last year as part of a POC. This metric is behind a feature flag that was only enabled for gitlab.com. The POC is no longer relevant since we are taking a different approach to Snowplow on self-managed.
In order to remove the need to load product_analytics_events_experimental
into the data warehouse, we should remove promoted_issues
from Service Ping, along with the related feature flag.
