chore/deps: upgrade grpc, prometheus/common (#63328)
This change extracts the unrelated transitive upgrades of
https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/pull/63171 (CORE-177) into a
separate PR. I'm making this because @unknwon ran into issues with the
exact same dependencies in
https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/pull/63171#issuecomment-2157694545.

The change consists of upgrades to:

- `google.golang.org/grpc` - there's a deprecation of `grpc.DialContext`
that we agreed in #63171 to keep for now.
- removing our `replace` directive on `github.com/prometheus/common` and
upgrading it. This is safe to do because our Alertmanager version is
already way ahead, and the reason this has a `replace` is outdated now.

## Test plan

CI, nothing blows up on `sg start` and I can click around and do a bit
of searching

Executor

The executor service polls the public frontend API for work to perform. The executor will pull a job from a particular queue (configured via the envvar EXECUTOR_QUEUE_NAME), then performs the job by running a sequence of docker and src-cli commands. This service is horizontally scalable.

Since executors and Sourcegraph are separate deployments, our agreement is to support 1 minor version divergence for now. See this example for more details:

Sourcegraph version Executor version Ok
3.43.0 3.43.*
3.43.3 3.43.*
3.43.0 3.44.*
3.43.0 3.42.*
3.43.0 3.41.* 🚫
3.43.0 3.45.* 🚫

See the executor queue for a complete list of queues.

Building and releasing

Building and releasing is handled automatically by the CI pipeline.

Binary

The executor binary is simply built with bazel build //cmd/executor:executor.

For publishing it, see bazel run //cmd/executor:binary.push:

  • In every scenario, the binary will be uploaded to gcs://sourcegraph-artifacts/executors/$GIT_COMMIT/.
  • If the current branch is main when this target is run, it will also be copied over to gcs://sourcegraph-artifacts/executors/latest.
  • If the env var EXECUTOR_IS_TAGGED_RELEASE is set to true, it will also be copied over to gcs://sourcegraph-artifacts/executors/$BUILDKITE_TAG.

VM image

The VM Image is built with packer, but it also uses an OCI image as a base for Firecracker, //docker-images/executor-vm:image_tarball which it depends on. That OCI image is a legacy image, see docker-images/executor-vm/README.md.

Because we're producing an AMI for both AWS and GCP, there are two steps involved:

  • bazel run //cmd/executor/vm-image:ami.build creates the AMI and names it according to the CI runtype.
  • bazel run //cmd/executor/vm-image:ami.push takes the AMIs from above and publish them (adjust perms, naming).

While gcloud is provided by Bazel, AWS cli is expected to be available on the host running Bazel.

Building AMIs on GCP is rather quick, but it's notoriously slow on AWS (about 20m) so we use target-determinator to detect when to rebuild the image. See ci-should-rebuild.sh, which is used by the pipeline generator to skip building it if we detect that nothing changed since the parent commit.

Docker Mirror

As with the VM image, we're producing an AMI for both AWS and GCP, there are two steps involved:

  • bazel run //cmd/executor/docker-mirror:ami.build creates the AMI and names it according to the CI runtype.
  • bazel run //cmd/executor/docker-mirror:ami.push takes the AMIs from above and publish them (adjust perms, naming).

While gcloud is provided by Bazel, AWS cli is expected to be available on the host running Bazel.
