2023-03-27 - Impact Assessment (Blast Radius) for Upstream Config¶

Problem¶

Changing a rule can affect other rules and have an unintended consequence.

Solution¶

Check and notify of the upstream impacts of rule changes to identify potential issues before the affected rules are run.

Leverage the Magic¶

Data Magicians get a notification.

A tag (update pending) is associated with rules that lets them see which rules have been marked for change.

ADI¶

Phenomenal!, Data Magicians are notified and marking impacted rules means we can check the rules before they are run and let Data Magicians know if there are going to be any down stream issues.

Customer¶

Hip-hip hooray!, it used to be very confusing when an existing rule suddenly failed because I had made a change else where. Now I get notified and can see which rules have been impacted.
