Mike McNeil c6eb839481 www: Create script migration example (#21437)
moving away from calling people "leads", it's weird

this continues the effort of making it so that leads are more like a:
"dear fleeties, you have to do something"

Now, lead sources are effectively GA conversions, and will eventually
change to just be auto-created stage0 opportunities, and even then only
for booked meetings where there's work that a fleetie needs to do to
make sure and prepare a useful demo for the folks on the other end, so
they can present Fleet internally while spending as little time talking
to us as possible.

So that's the end of lead sources.

Whereas compare w/ user actions, which are now captured as either
contact creation (contact source), contact psychological progress (most
recent psystage change reason), or opportunity creation (opportunity
source).

Deploying the website

To deploy changes to the website to production, merge changes to the main branch. If the changes affect the website's code, or touch any files that the website relies on to build content, such as the query library, osquery schema, docs, handbook, articles, etc., then the website will be redeployed.

Wondering how this works? This is implemented in a GitHub action in this repo. Check out the code there to see how it works! For help understanding what sails run and npm run commands in there do, check the scripts in website/package.json and in website/scripts/.

Changing the database schema

To deploy new code to production that relies on changes to the database schema or other external systems (e.g. Stripe), first put the website in "maintenance mode" in Heroku. Then, make your changes in the database schema. Next, if you have a script to fix/migrate existing data, go ahead and run it now. (e.g. sails run fix-or-migrate-existing-data). Then, merge your changes and wait for the deploy to finish. Finally, switch off "maintenance mode" in Heroku.

Note that entering maintenance mode prevents visitors from using the website, so it should be used sparingly, and ideally at low-traffic times of day.

Warning: Doing an especially sensitive schema migration? There is a potential timing issue to consider, thanks to an infrastructure change that eliminated downtime during deploys by using Heroku's built-in support for hot-swapping.

Wiping the production database

I hope you know what you're doing. The "easiest" kind of database schema migration:

sails_datastores__default__url='REAL_DB_URI_HERE' sails run wipe

Then when you see the sailboat, hit CTRL+C to exit. All done!
