The Architecture of Open Source Applications (Volume 2): Firefox Release Engineering

http://aosabook.org/en/ffreleng.html

And Armen Zambrano Gasparian. We'll look at some of the decisions that have been made to improve this process; for example, our sanity-checking script that helps eliminate much of what used to be vulnerable to human error; our automated signing script; our integration of mobile releases into the desktop release process; patcher, where updates are created; and AUS (Application Update Service), where updates are served to our users across multiple versions of the software. Ways Before You Start a Release.

GoFaster: deeper data analysis | JGriffin's Blog

https://jagriffin.wordpress.com/2011/09/06/gofaster-deeper-data-analysis

Is this thing on? GoFaster: deeper data analysis. On September 6, 2011. For the GoFaster project. Releng and the A-team have been working on various tasks which we hope will result in getting the total commit to all-tests-done time down to 2 hours for the main branches (try excluded). This total turnaround time was 6-8 hours a couple of months ago when we began this project. Removing packed.js from mochitest. And streamlining individual slow tests (see bug 674738. For instance), and you’ll see the ...

Using DNS to query AWS | Rail's Blog

https://rail.merail.ca/posts/using-dns-to-query-aws.html

Skip to main content. Using DNS to query AWS. DNS is hard. Twisted is hard. AWS is easy. :). At Mozilla Releng we use EC2 a lot. DNS has always been one of the issues - one always wants to ssh/vnc to a specific VM to debug issues. Our Puppet. Infrastructure requires proper forward and reverse DNS entries to generate an SSL certificate. Before we switched to PuppetAgain. We weren't bothering ourselves to add VMs to DNS, and used to use a script. During one my the 1x1s with catlee. Contents 2016 Rail Aliiev.

The Architecture of Open Source Applications (Volume 2): $TITLE

http://aosabook.org/en/intro2.html

In the introduction to Volume 1 of this series, we wrote:. Building architecture and software architecture have a lot in common, but there is one crucial difference. While architects study thousands of buildings in their training and during their careers, most software developers only ever get to know a handful of large programs well… As a result, they repeat one another's mistakes rather than building on one another's successes… This book is our attempt to change that. Mdash; Amy Brown and Greg Wilson.

John O'Duinn's blog. Joining the U.S. Digital Service. I’ve never worked in government before – or even considered it until I read Dan Portillo’s blog post. Building Release Engineering infrastructure at scale, in all sorts of different environments, has always been interesting to me. The more unique the situation, the more interesting. The possibility of doing this work, at scale, while also making a difference to the lives of many real people made me stop, ask a bunch of questions and then apply. 1) Re...

Ian Connolly - 4 Weeks At Mozilla

http://connolly.io/posts/4-weeks-at-mozilla

Vim cats. brunch. June 17, 2014. 4 Weeks At Mozilla. I’m mid-way through my 4th week interning on Mozilla’s Release Engineering team in San Francisco. I’ll save all of the. Oh my god San Francisco. And more personal Mozilla-related flailing for another blog post - probably nearer to when I’m headed home. But I wanted to begin making a stab at documenting what I’m doing work-wise while I’m out here, in the spirit of the Mozilla mission. Talk is the best thing you’ll see this week.
