Deployments currently leave little analytical trace. This PR makes every
deployment emit two analytics events to enable useful queries. It also
enables comparing deployments across build paths, CLI versions,
runtimes, and orgs.
### Where the events come from
```
trigger deploy
│
▼
initialize ─────────────────────────────▶ ✨ deployment.initialized
│ createdAt
▼
PENDING waiting for a build slot ┐
│ startedAt │ queue time
▼ ┘
INSTALLING build server installs deps ┐
│ installedAt (native paths only) │ install time
▼ ┘
BUILDING the image is built ┐
│ builtAt │ building time
▼ ┘
DEPLOYING indexing + registry push ┐
│ deployedAt / failedAt / canceledAt │ deploying time
▼ ┘
DEPLOYED · FAILED · TIMED_OUT · CANCELED
│
└───────────────────────────────────▶ ✨ deployment.finished
```
`deployment.finished` fires exactly once, whichever way the deployment
ends, and is backdated to cover the deployment's real lifetime. Not
every path visits every state (Depot deploys skip PENDING/INSTALLING,
for example) — a phase duration is simply omitted when its state was
never entered.
### What each event carries
- **Which path built it**: `depot`, `native`, or `native_local_bundle`
- **How it ended**: status, plus an error class and message when it
failed
- **How long each phase took**: queue, install, building, deploying, and
total — derived from the timestamps above
- **Who and with what**: org, project, environment, runtime, CLI
version, and how the deploy was triggered (CLI, GitHub, Vercel)
With that, one query gives failure rate per build path, duration
percentiles per phase, adoption per CLI version, or a per-org health
table.
### Fixes that ride along
- The old `deployment.outcome` span was silently dropped ~95% of the
time (it was subject to trace sampling). The new events opt out of
sampling explicitly, so every deployment is counted.
- The fail/timeout/finalize transitions were racy: a late timeout could
overwrite a successful deployment. They now use guarded writes, so
exactly one caller wins the terminal transition — and exactly one event
is emitted.
- Canceled deployments previously recorded nothing; they do now.
- The deployment's CLI version is now stored at initialization (new
nullable column), so even deploys that fail early are attributable to a
CLI release.
- Telemetry is flushed on shutdown (the last batch used to be lost on
every webapp deploy), and an optional second exporter can mirror just
these events into a dedicated dataset.
@trigger.dev/database
This is the internal database package for the Trigger.dev project. It exports a generated prisma client that can be instantiated with a connection string.
How to switch branches when you've done migrations
Sometimes you've applied migrations and then want to switch branches without wiping out your local database.
To do this you can run the following command:
DB_VOLUME=database-data-alt pnpm run docker
This will switch to the alt volume for your local database. This database will be blank if you haven't switched to this volume before, so you'll need to follow the normal steps (in the Contributing guide) to get setup, e.g. apply migrations and seed.
To switch back to the original volume, run the following command:
pnpm run docker
How to add a new index on a large table
- Modify the Prisma.schema with a single index change (no other changes, just one index at a time)
- Create a Prisma migration using
cd internal-packages/database && pnpm run db:migrate:dev:create - Modify the SQL file: add IF NOT EXISTS to it and CONCURRENTLY:
CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY IF NOT EXISTS "JobRun_eventId_idx" ON "JobRun" ("eventId");
- Don’t apply the Prisma migration locally yet. This is a good opportunity to test the flow.
- Manually apply the index to your database, by running the index command.
- Then locally run
pnpm run db:migrate:deploy
Before deploying
Run the index creation before deploying
CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY IF NOT EXISTS "JobRun_eventId_idx" ON "JobRun" ("eventId");
These commands are useful:
-- creates an index safely, this can take a long time (2 mins maybe)
CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY IF NOT EXISTS "JobRun_eventId_idx" ON "JobRun" ("eventId");
-- checks the status of an index
SELECT * FROM pg_stat_progress_create_index WHERE relid = '"JobRun"'::regclass;
-- checks if the index is there
SELECT * FROM pg_indexes WHERE tablename = 'JobRun' AND indexname = 'JobRun_eventId_idx';
Now, when you deploy and prisma runs the migration, it will skip the index creation because it already exists. If you don't do this, there will be pain.
