So today I discovered that there’s a cron job that holds non-reproducible state that died, and now our system is fucked.
The cron job doesn’t live inside any source control. This morning it entered a terminal state, and because it overwrites its state there’s no way to revert it.
I’m currently waiting for the database rollback and have rewritten it in a reproducible/idempotent way.
For us it’s a task that no one is even aware of and the first issue is the customer saying their data export doesn’t work. You had a data export?
