ecommerce: Django 3.2 upgrade deployment plan

Prerequisites for upgrade deployment

• Review upgrade PR (https://github.com/edx/ecommerce/pull/3576 )

• Identify the exact commands to fake auth migration on stage and prod.

  • Also identify the person who is going to run these commands while deployment (from the owning squad or SRE)

  • Actual command to fake that certain migration: python manage.py migrate --fake auth 0066

  • Prerequisites are need to be identified to run this command

  • Also we need to make sure if a rollback is required then what would be effect of that on this migration (whether this migration also needs to be rollbacked)

• Announce code freeze for two days, so upgrade can be tested on stage.

Deployment

• Merge the upgrade PR (https://github.com/edx/ecommerce/pull/3576 )

• Fake auth migration on stage.

• Perform some smoke testing on stage instance to look for issues (if any).

• If there is no error on stage then we should go for prod deployment.

• Similarly fake the auth migration on prod too.
