Add environment support to Feature services

Emiliano Balbuena requested to merge goal/unleash-sync-namespaces into master

Summary

Add environment namespaces support to feature services

Setup

New schema:

CREATE TABLE minds.feature_toggles_cache_ns (
    environment text,
    feature_name text,
    data text,
    created_at timestamp,
    stale_at timestamp,
    PRIMARY KEY (environment, feature_name)
);

Updated CLI command:

php cli.php features sync --environment=production,canary,staging

Updated Forever runner:

php cli.php features sync --forever --environment=production,canary,staging

Steps to test

  • Get pods using kubectl get pods | grep 'goal-unleash-sync-namespaces'
  • SSH into php-fpm one with kubectl exec -ti goal-unleash-sync-namespaces-app-<RANDOM ID> sh
  • Execute cd /var/www/Minds/engine && php cli.php features sync --environment=development,sandbox
  • The above command will sync two environments. Ensure there are no Exceptions outputted
  • On another terminal, get into Cassandra shell with kubectl exec -ti cassandra-0 cqlsh
  • Execute expand on; SELECT * from minds.feature_toggles_cache_ns;
  • Ensure there are feature flag objects listed twice (one for development, other for sandbox) and that the dates are in the range of sync operation (watch out the timezone!)
  • Go to https://goal-unleash-sync-namespaces.minds.io/, log in with an administrator
  • Open menu > Admin > Features
  • Ensure Environment is correct and compare the GitLab columns with what's on the Enabled tab on https://gitlab.com/minds/infrastructure/feature-flags/-/feature_flags/ for the corresponding environment spec.
  • You can also use https://goal-unleash-sync-namespaces.minds.io/admin/features;for=0xemi to check feature for %pro and %admin groups, per example.

Note: As the previous MR, the database check part of might be tricky for @xander-miller to test. The main concern is that critical features are turned on (media modals, etc).

Estimated Regression Scope

Everything related to feature flags.
