i was hoping no one would notice until i got my banger memes ready
y'all noticed this a bit earlier than we had anticipated, so the Learn More link is broken on the page. coming soon. promise!
we'll have a more official post coming soon as well. like i said, we weren't expecting it to be noticed, but y'all are observant
hey dan i am ready for your memes
Cool. I assume you all are caching quite a bit locally then. I understand if you can't go into too much detail, but do you run your CI/CD on static agents or do you cache those builds on another service and then pull them back onto the agents at run time? I've been playing around with the later on my work's CI/CD system but I haven't had the chance to implement it yet. I'd be interested to hear how Riot is doing that if thats the case.
Our repo is gigantic (tens of gigs) so we mostly use persistent build nodes with persistent workspaces with a ton of locally cached data. We do also cache a lot of stuff in artifact repos (such as Artifactory) and download/reuse as much as possible. We've also been using our internal patcher tech (described in https://technology.riotgames.com/news/supercharging-data-delivery-new-league-patcher) as internal artifact storage/caching more and more, such as for caching Unity's Library folder. Part of how all this works is that at the start of each build, after syncing source code, we ...
Read moreHello Rioters,
Really glad you take time to present your jobs to us. I'm actually into performance testing and i would love to know if you have this type of job in your organization. If yes, where can i apply to the job ?
https://technology.riotgames.com/news/down-rabbit-hole-performance-monitoring I think this is relevant to your interests :)
Does it provide more stats than morellonomicon?
yeah, +20 to pen testing
How big of a role does automated vs manual testing play in your CI/deployment process? Which bits of the company’s software are difficult to test? Which are easier? If you can disclose, what kind of 3rd party tools do you rely on? (P.S. one day I want to come work with you all)
I can answer part of this question. On LoR we have extensive test automation. There are unit tests that run using xunit, functional tests that run using pytest, load tests that use locust, and more. They all run in Jenkins and use a bunch of off-the-shelf tech like ADB, docker, various python and dotnet libraries, etc. Besides all the automation, there's a ton of manual testing, but I can't really speak to the details of the manual testing.
Printers are the bane of my existence.
what about DNS blips?
Hey, do you have jobs for programmers that are not working primarily in Java?
Languages I've seen in use at Riot: C++, C#, Java, Javascript, Python, Groovy, Go, and a bunch more. So yeah, we need people with experience in all sorts of different languages :)
Thanks, that sounds quite standard :) Do you also practice no-release-Fridays? :D
LoR release engineer here :) on Fridays at 5 pm we have a slack reminder that says:
devtrackers.gg
PLZ DO NOT MERGE INTO MASTER
ITS AFTER 5 ON FRIDAY
PLZ DONT DO IT
ITS NOT WORTH
u/RiotReleaseMan ever had to pull a release before it went out? How does riot handle that with bi-weekly releases?
Also, how long does it take to run a full CI/CD process for a game like LoR or League?
I can answer your second question, I work on LoR's CI/CD system. Our build pipeline does a lot of clever tricks to reuse stuff that hasn't changed. As a result, build times vary depending on how much stuff you've changed. Typical time from pushing a commit to being able to test it on a local patchline varies between 40 minutes to 80 minutes, including building everything, running a bunch of automated tests, and deploys.
Imma get u for this

sadly, this bot is banned from the subreddit, as I found out whenever i tried to tag it in response to every single one of cactopus’s posts for a day. however, i will do it myself, since i aspire to be the most player focused memer in the world:

Can confirm this is actually how it works. Additionally most champs will run faster if you click harder.
Let's create a gofundme page for this guy.
