Echo: Cassandra to In-Memory

Echo’s scheduler can be run completely in-memory. On startup or redeploy, echo will check cron schedules to see if it needs to retroactively execute any missed triggers. This migration only requires configuration changes.

1. Disable Cassandra in echo.yml

spinnaker:
  cassandra:
    enabled: false

2. Enable in-memory backend in echo.yml

spinnaker:
  inMemory:
    enabled: true

3. Enable the scheduler compensation job in echo.yml

scheduler:
  compensationJob:
    enabled: true
    windowMs: 1800000 # optional

The windowMs property dictates how far in the past echo will look to find missed schedules. By default this is 30 minutes.

4. Deploy new Echo
