Creating a Startup Support Crew

Hey! Got some feedback, in my third week in the startup process. I narrowed it down to 3 points, but if there are some other questions to consider I’d be happy to answer :slight_smile:

v0.27.1 → new upgrade policy

Due to past experiences w/ RW I decided that we should wait at least a week before applying an upgrade, wich we did with v0.27.0.
When I launched the upgrade v0.27.1 was out there. It broke our tests ( issue already documented ) and did not ship what I was expecting from prisma 2.17, the fix on the shadow database bug.
This one pulls a full stop on some of our developments, any that need model update actually, so it’s a problem.
It prompted us to seek another framework upgrade policy, which should be until v1 to apply upgrades to latest version -1, in hope it will helps us stabilize the upgrade process.
Sad since RW ships a lot of cool new stuff each version, but we don’t have much of a choice.

Storybook

I’ve tried using the @storybook/addons essentials, such as Docs, with no success. According to this thread Storybook v6 is not supported yet though plans are here for v1 support. Storybook is very useful for fast developing of our web components but it also is relevant as application documentation - basically in a startup context, if setting up a preprod env takes more time ( our case ), a product owner could use some storybook to see how some things are going and try out some things on their own. As of today Rw’s implementation of Storybook is not as supportive as it could be expected.

Schema modelisation showcase

The folks at the origin of the concept for the startup are rather serious about their data structure, they could be interested in reading a prisma schema but ideally if they could work w/ a graph they’d be happy. There’s a thread on prisma’s github about the issue, this is not coming any time soon. That would be a really nice addition to RW if anything ever happens on that side.

@keith.t.elliott I’d love to have you call my baby ugly! ( seems weird written all out… )
I’ll see if the founders of the project are ok with this, but maybe it could be feasible to have some sort of private demo env for RW’s people :).
