1495097 - [remote-settings] initial remote settings data for pocket personalization v2

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Cloud Services :: Server: Remote Settings, enhancement)

Description

[Scott [:thecount] Downe]

So I think I have the correct component for this?

I have some configs we're using for a patch that's in development.

Currently I've been using the dev server https://kinto.dev.mozaws.net/v1 to test things.

I've got it to the point where 1. I wanted to figure out the staging/prod process.

Also I'm super interested in this https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/main/latest/services/common/services/RemoteSettings.html#initial-data

And it is my understanding to get the initial data dump you need to get it from prod?

If true I think we'll need a bit of help getting that data in, and then getting the data dump out.

Also not sure how long this process takes so any ideas around that would be super helpful.

Hi Scott,

Good news! 

About the STAGE/PROD process, I wrote some docs lately! I wanted to centralize every piece of documentation in that single place: https://remote-settings.readthedocs.io 

If you have more questions, we can help you of course! But I'm also super interested in feedback about the docs :) 

About the initial data dump:

- it should come from PROD, since it contains records ids and timestamps from the server. You must first have your collection live in STAGE and PROD before being able to ship it in m-c.

- we have a scheduled task that regularly updates the dumps in ``services/settings/dumps/main/``. Hence, you can also put an empty list in your dump there (``{"data": []}``) and let this task update it for you once you will have some records published in PROD.

I think we can close this ticket.

We can't use the "initial data" for this use-case since the audience is not every user.
