The SDK discovers an external deployment id at runtime (explicit TRIGGER_EXTERNAL_DEPLOYMENT_ID always; platform commit-SHA variables and generic fallbacks when TRIGGER_AUTOMATIC_SKEW_VERSION_PROTECTION=1) and sends it alongside lockToVersion; the server resolves precedence (version > external id > current). An id held by a deployed deployment pins the run to that worker; an in-flight or unknown id parks the run in PENDING_VERSION with the id in TaskRun.annotations, wakes it pinned when a deployment carrying the id finalizes (ClickHouse candidates, Postgres authoritative), and expires it after a deadline that re-checks Postgres before acting. Parking outranks delaying and preserves delayUntil. The id is projected to ClickHouse task_runs_v2.external_deployment_id during replication. Redis cache for id-to-worker resolution, guarded version-aware writes. Ids are not unique. Several deployments can hold one id - a --force rebuild is the ordinary way to get there - so resolution always picks the highest version among the candidates, never the newest by timestamp. The rule is applied identically on both paths that can bind a run to a worker: resolveExternalDeployment at trigger time, and PendingVersionSystem when a landing deployment wakes a parked run. Version comparison is numeric on the counter half, so 20260807.10 outranks 20260807.9. A run whose id never lands expires at the deadline with EXTERNAL_DEPLOYMENT_NOT_FOUND and an error naming the id it waited for, which is what a failed build or a typo looks like from the caller. Default deadline is one hour (EXTERNAL_DEPLOYMENT_PARK_DEADLINE_MS). Debounce registration happens in both the parked and the delayed branch through one helper, so a debounced run that parks still binds its debounce key; without it every later trigger for the same key created another parked run, and all of them executed when the deployment landed. The two DELAYED-only status checks in DebounceSystem also accept PENDING_VERSION, without which the lock-contention fallback would rethrow a 5xx the SDK retries and amplifies, and the fast path would push every trigger on a parked key through the redlock. Resolution is skipped in development. A dev environment cannot hold a WorkerDeployment - trigger dev registers a BackgroundWorker with nothing behind it, and deploy --env refuses dev - so an external deployment id there could only ever park, and the parked run then expired against the dev TTL while a connected dev worker sat idle. The id is still annotated so the dashboard shows what the app sent (TRI-13000).
ClickHouse Table Naming Conventions
The following document is heavily inspired by the Unkey ClickHouse naming conventions.
This document outlines the naming conventions for tables and materialized views in our ClickHouse setup. Adhering to these conventions ensures consistency, clarity, and ease of management across our data infrastructure.
General Rules
- Use lowercase letters and separate words with underscores.
- Avoid ClickHouse reserved words and special characters in names.
- Be descriptive but concise.
Table Naming Convention
Format: [prefix]_[domain]_[description]_[version]
Prefixes
raw_: Input data tablestmp_{yourname}_: Temporary tables for experiments, add your name, so it's easy to identify ownership.
Versioning
- Version numbers:
_v1,_v2, etc.
Aggregation Suffixes
For aggregated or summary tables, use suffixes like:
_per_day_per_month_summary
Materialized View Naming Convention
Format: [description]_[aggregation]_mv_[version]
- Always suffix with
mv_[version] - Include a description of the view's purpose
- Add aggregation level if applicable
Examples
-
Raw Data Table:
raw_sales_transactions_v1 -
Materialized View:
active_users_per_day_mv_v2 -
Temporary Table:
tmp_eric_user_analysis_v1 -
Aggregated Table:
sales_summary_per_hour_mv_v1
Consistency Across Related Objects
Maintain consistent naming across related tables, views, and other objects:
raw_user_activity_v1user_activity_per_day_v1user_activity_per_day_mv_v1
By following these conventions, we ensure a clear, consistent, and scalable naming structure for our ClickHouse setup.
