Remove Metrics Data Page

[avivkeller]

This PR removes the old generation files for the metrics data, as they are no longer used. Current metric generation files are in /ansible/roles/metrics/.

I'm for adding a redesigned metrics page (context) but I think it should stay as-is on nodejs.org until that page is ready to be deployed. Since the release worker is serving /metrics, this pr won't change that behavior.

I'm not sure if it'd make more sense to serve a redesigned metrics page from the release worker still or move it to the website repo though. I think it'd be preferrable to have it in the latter? cc @ovflowd

That's probably a good idea, (hence this is a draft)

If the setup here is effectively unused, we can remove it regardless of the new page being ready or not.

The setup is unused, but exists for historical reasons. The historical data is not up to date, or in the same format as the current data.

+1

[avivkeller]

Seeing as both of you agree that this data is effectively unused, I've marked this as ready for review, so that it can be merged when ready

I don't think we should land this until a replacement is in place and https://nodejs.org/metrics/ redirected to the replacement page.

There is value in the current https://nodejs.org/metrics/ being a placeholder page that says "this is historical data, for current data see this publicly accessible GCP bucket".

[richardlau]

To clarify a bit, perhaps some of the behind-the-scenes generation/processing stuff could be removed now, but we'd want to keep whatever is serving the current https://nodejs.org/metrics/ until it is replaced.

A replacement is already in place. https://nodejs.org/metrics/ is served from Cloudflare and doesn't reach the www server.

Where is the html it is serving coming from?

The dist-prod R2 bucket on the Node.js cf account, same with the actual log files. Served by the release worker

Outdated

[MattIPv4]

I would be +1 for removing metrics-related stuff from this repo as this PR is doing, given the scripts aren't running and NGINX isn't serving the content.

nodejs/release-cloudflare-worker#120 can then act as the discussion for building an actual replacement within https://github.com/nodejs/nodejs.org/ before https://nodejs.org/metrics/ is removed from the internet itself.

[avivkeller]

BTW some scripts still exist in this repo. /ansible/roles/metrics/ has scripts, but I'm unsure whether they are in use

this issue seems relevant to discussion here, but i only had a glance nodejs/nodejs.org#6822
