Imagine this: Slack message on a Friday afternoon. Coworker just let me know that we're essentially in the 'generating traffic for DownDetector' business for 20 minutes now. New release broke everything and the one who made the changes is on holiday now. Status page: red, like my face when it hits me I'm going to have to deal with this instead of leaving to buy the railroads in Monopoly and eating pizza with pineapple (my favorite) to end the week. Finding which component it is, which environment, how is it built and deployed, then finding my way to the infrastructure is already a decent todo list to tackle. As I am not accessing this resource often, I have to request access to workload, though automatized, still an additional step. Entering the VM, scraping logs and try to restart the service on the server, praying that it is fairy powder that was missing, of course not. Checking logs, the output is written in alien language to me but it's fine, I'm missing the context completely, no problem. What now? Let's see recent changes in VCS. New feature it is, with configuration changes. Cool, think I found the problem. Edit configuration on the server, because I know how to exit vim. Restarting again 🤞. Well, what now? I don't know, I'm just a guy working with JavaScript frameworks, I barely know containers & infrastructure. Google "why my site is still down", enter, StackOverFlow, ChatGPT. It's been 67 minutes now since I received the message and it's still down. The guy who can help me out will be out of meeting in 30+ minutes. So, it is going to be fine, at least I keep telling this to myself.
Way to kick off the weekend, right?
