## Summary - Customer opened a support ticket to request a feature proposal for the following: - Enhance the GitLab Import engine to provide automated notifications and detailed performance metrics for repository migrations from Bitbucket to GitLab, improving transparency and enabling better planning for large-scale migrations. ## Problem Statement Large-scale repository migrations are time-intensive and involve multiple stakeholders. Currently, the lack of granular status updates and post-migration performance data makes it difficult to: - Plan maintenance windows for large repositories - Baseline migration performance - Provide audit-ready metrics to leadership - Keep stakeholders informed during lengthy migration processes ## Requested Features ### 1. Lifecycle Alerts - **Automatic notifications** to the migration initiator when a migration: - Starts - Completes successfully - Fails - **Optional group notifications** to designated stakeholders - **Real-time status updates** throughout the migration process ### 2. Migration Summary Report Upon migration completion, provide a comprehensive summary including: - **Total Duration**: Complete start-to-finish migration time - **Object Migration Counts**: - Pull Requests migrated - Issues migrated - Commits migrated - **Success/failure status** for each object type ## Business Value - **Performance Baselining**: Enable Engineering Systems teams to establish migration performance benchmarks - **Improved Planning**: help plan a better maintenance window for large repository migrations - **Audit Compliance**: Provide leadership with audit-ready migration metrics - **Enhanced Transparency**: Keep all stakeholders informed throughout the migration process - **Workflow Optimisation**: Support continuous optimisation of DevOps workflows and migration paths ## Additional Context - There is an open feature proposal that partially overlaps ([#586471](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/work_items/586471)). Opening this new work item as this feature proposal requests for a wider time and status range - notifying the status of the entire migration lifecycle from start to end in real time. ## Acceptance Criteria - [ ] Migration initiator receives automated start notification - [ ] Migration initiator receives automated completion/failure notification - [ ] Optional group notification functionality is available - [ ] Migration summary report includes total duration - [ ] Migration summary report includes count of migrated objects (PRs, Issues, Commits) - [ ] Summary report is generated for both successful and failed migrations - [ ] Notifications and reports are audit-ready and suitable for leadership reporting
