Dataland Release Notes Overview - d-fine/Dataland GitHub Wiki

The current deployment cycle of Dataland, which started at the end of sprint 95, is as follows:

• Our sprints take two weeks each and start on Tuesdays. In sprint number n, Dataland version n.0 is developed.
• Each version of Dataland is available for roughly two weeks on our Test server (https://test.dataland.com) for stakeholders to try out. Version n.0 gets deployed there near the end of sprint n, before the sprint review on Tuesday morning at 10am. Moreover, it is scheduled to be deployed to our productive server (https://dataland.com) on Friday evening near the end of the following sprint (number n+1).
• If any issues are discovered with version n.0 on the Test server, then as part of sprint n+1, we fix those issues via hotfixes, which lead to updates of the version deployed to Test (version n.1, n.2, etc.). The goal is still to deploy the latest Dataland version of the form n.x to the productive server on Friday evening of the end of sprint n+1.
• Our stakeholders are informed by e-mail on the occasion of each deployment to the test and productive servers.
  • The e-mail sent on the initial Test deployment of version n.0 lists the merged tickets together with a short description for each. All API-breaking changes as well as changes to our Data Exporter are especially highlighted. If they are already available at that point, the Wiki page with detailed release notes for version n.0 is also linked in that e-mail; otherwise, this is done in the later productive deployment e-mail.
  • The e-mail sent on productive deployment recaps the contents of the Test deployment e-mail and briefly describes the hotfixes (if any) including links to their release notes.
