> > On the flip side changes in the Helm Chart should not affect Airflow's CI. In this case, the default of disabling API should just be a change in Airflow and should not be a change in the Helm chart version until a new Airflow version is released. > > _Should_. This is a nice idea, but until we are really stable and have all the details worked out for helm chart and dockerfile there will be hiden couplings - even beyond that. IMHO this is the same fallacy as with micro-services hype. With Micro-services in theory you have decoupled services that can be developed in isolation but in fact a lot of micro-services have hidden couplings and what you gain with separation, you loose on coordination. A lot of teams (especially those not huge ones) withdraw from micro-services approach (I'd say hype) recently, precisely because it is not full-filing the promises (i.e. for smaller teams costs of coordination are far bigger than benefits of isolation). It's never 0-1, it's always cost-gain game. > > I believe we are still far to small (both code-wise and people-wise) and the "chart" and "dockerfile" are not big enough on it's own to get enough isolation gains to cover the separation cost. > > > Btw I am not against the Kubernetes way, I will look into the details and let you'll know on the thread.

We can fulfill all your expectations (separate releases, issues for users in separate repos) while keeping much lower complexity of the development process. I would say we should not use the Helm Chart for test until it gets stable then. WDYT? Let's work on getting the Helm Chart to the ideal stable before using it for tests. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
