Currently, build-tracker keeps track of consecutive build failures through an in-memory store of failed builds. As this gets deployed more frequently on MSP, we lose state more frequently which would result in incorrect results. Instead, we can use redis as our external store as well as for locking using redsync ## Test plan Unit tests have been updated, but proper testing will require live traffic ## Changelog <!-- OPTIONAL; info at https://www.notion.so/sourcegraph/Writing-a-changelog-entry-dd997f411d524caabf0d8d38a24a878c --> |

BUILD TRACKER
Build Tracker is a server that listens for build events from Buildkite, stores them in Redis and sends notifications about builds if they've failed.
The server currently listens for two events:
build.finishedjob.finished
For each job.finished event that is received, the corresponding build is updated with the job that has finished. On receipt of a build.finished event, the server will determine if the build has failed by going through all the contained jobs of the build. If one or more jobs have indeed failed, a notification will be sent over slack. As well as this, the server will trigger a Buildkite job to process CI and Bazel data for the build for analytics purposes.
Deployment infrastructure
Build Tracker is deployed in MSP. See the auto-generated Notion doc for details around accessing the environment and observability systems.
It is fine to wipe Redis if there are any issues stemming from data inconsistencies, redsync lock problems etc.
Notification testing
To test the notifications that get sent over slack you can pass the flag -RunSlackIntegrationTest as part of your test invocation, with some required configuration:
export SLACK_TOKEN='my valid token'
export BUILDKITE_WEBHOOK_TOKEN='optional'
export GITHUB_TOKEN='optional'
go test . -RunSlackIntegrationTest
You can enable Slack client debugging by exporting the following environment variable BUILD_TRACKER_SLACK_DEBUG=1
