tools/stats/README.md
We track various stats about each CI job.
workflow_run event triggers
upload-test-stats.yml.upload-test-stats downloads the raw stats from the intermediate data store
and uploads them as JSON to s3, which then uploads to our database backendgraph LR
J1[Job with AWS creds
e.g. linux, win] --raw stats--> S3[(AWS S3)]
J2[Job w/o AWS creds
e.g. mac] --raw stats--> GHA[(GH artifacts)]
S3 --> uts[upload-test-stats.yml]
GHA --> uts
uts --json--> s3[(s3)]
s3 --> DB[(database)]
Why this weird indirection? Because writing to the database requires special permissions which, for security reasons, we do not want to give to pull request CI. Instead, we implemented GitHub's recommended pattern for cases like this.
