Disaster Recovery

This document describes a feature that allows to easily disable some important but computationally expensive parts of the application, in order to relieve stress on the database in an ongoing downtime.

ci_queueing_disaster_recovery

This feature flag, if enabled temporarily disables fair scheduling on shared runners. This can help reduce system resource usage on the jobs/request endpoint by significantly reducing computations being performed.

Side effects:

  • In case of a large backlog of jobs, the jobs will be processed in the order they were put in the system instead of balancing the jobs across many projects
  • Projects which are out of quota will be run. This affects only jobs that were created during the last hour, as prior jobs are canceled by a periodic background worker (StuckCiJobsWorker).
