Papercuts priorization before we consider v2

[heitorlessa]

UPDATE Apr '22: We are not looking for external contributions to address these.

Original: #857. Locked to ensure we don't lose focus a second time.

List of papercuts we're currently prioritizing based on their impact. Once these are completed, we will start drafting what v2 looks like as we aim towards modularization.

NOTE: Any item missing link means we must create an issue yet. This is in anticipation of moving the central roadmap back to each respective repository - just haven't had the bandwidth to do any of that.

High impact

• Code quality: Integ test with external dependencies RFC: Mechanism for end2end testing #1226
• Docs: Move code snippets into dedicated python files so they can be linted/formatted then embedded in the docs. It makes highlighting slightly harder but we can achieve consistency and prevent mistakes we keep on making. See docs: fix syntax errors and line highlights #1004, docs(parser): APIGatewayProxyEvent to APIGatewayProxyEventModel #1061 -- @heitorlessa
• Idempotency: Remove data record lock in case of timeout -- @rubenfonseca

Low impact

• Logger: Provide autocomplete custom date formats (ISO8601) for datefmt field
• Tracer: Typing SubSegment and Context Manager
• Batch: Improve maintainability of batch processing functional tests
• Idempotency: Consider refactoring test setup, potentially DynamoDB Local for functional (not integration)
• Contributions: Pre-configure GitPod and update Contributing guidelines (Poetry didn't work previously; it works now)

Maintenance automation

• Actions: React to labels size/XL, size/XXL by adding triage label for maintainers attention, and suggest breaking the PR to reduce the chances of bugs being introduced due to cognitive load
• PR verbatim enforcement: Ensure CI fails if PR content doesn't have required acknowledgements
• Actions: Add conditional to catch for a potential futurenull on release workflow. Idea: have an automated mechanism to ensure +1 person reviewed release notes and version

Completed

• Docs: API Gateway sample layout
• Parser: Typing on model subclassing
• Parser: Typing when using envelope
• Event Handler: BaseProxyEvent missing overload to match Proxy Type Request Context
• Tracer: Typing provider when none is passed
• Metrics: Typing SingleMetric context manager
• Tracer: Add method to ignore certain hostname/URLs to be traced
• Docs: Update public Slack invite with new link as the previous one expired
• Event Handler: Do not throw exception if json_body doesn't have JSON but return None
• MyPy: Address all MyPy errors and enable MyPy at CI level
• Legacy Batch: Delete > 10 messages async
• Layers: Migrate internal CI/CD pipeline dedicated to Lambda Layers to AWS Code*. This will operational effort in maintaining two release processes, and allow us to add additional AWS regions - @am29d owning it
• Project Management: Migrate Powertools Roadmap tasks back to this repository with the new GitHub Projects Beta. This will best represent items we're currently prioritizing, plus automation - @heitorlessa owning it
• Project Management: Refresh our Contributing guide with GitPod.io, more details on what circumstances a PR can be closed/reopened, and expand what behaviors we will not tolerate beyond the general code of conduct - @heitorlessa owning it
• Logger: Lambda Context and state not being explicitly cleared when bringing custom formatters Lambda context data is excluded when using custom formatter and flag clear_state on inject_lambda_context #1042
• End-to-end tests mechanics: Create RFC for mechanism to run e2e tests on merge - @mploski owning it
  • This will give us confidence to remove boto3 (>90% of package size) for Lambda Layers/SAR App
• Tests: Experiment with pytest-benchmark and flaky plugin to retry performance tests that fail due to GitHub Actions CI shared hardware being overutilized at times
• PR linkage: Link PRs to related issue, add status/staged-next-release label upon merge - linked PRs will close issues, need to have a second thought on whether this is okay
• Changelog append: As PR titles are now consistently good, we need to revisit how Git-chlog might be modified to append to the existing changelog upon PR merge
• Review release process: As mechanisms have been stable, it's time we revisit whether we can automate some manual steps without losing the human communication aspect of a release
• Code quality: End-to-end test RFC: Mechanism for end2end testing #1226
• Docs: Change Testing your code docs section to reflect how customers would have to test their code (Batch and Event Handler being good examples to follow) - @cakepietoast owning it
• Actions: Lockdown untrusted/3rd party GH Actions to use immutable git sha
• Parser: Defensively pop dict keys in case event has been tampered. SnsSqsEnvelope - [ERROR] KeyError: 'SigningCertURL' #1228
