+## New PR & Testing Process Proposal
+
+
+### Goals
+
+Design a development process and write related automation that:
+
+1. Allows for rapid parallel development
+1. Prevents cross-developer collisions
+1. Creates a full audit trail of all changes, tests, and deployments
+1. Tests small changes (features and bug fixes) individually
+1. Can be enabled on most repos with little to no modification
+1. Provides multiple test/check points througout the development process including:
+    - Build tests that are created at the beginning of the code review (PR) process _pre_-merge
+    - Images that can be tested both before and after merges to the `develop` branch
+    - Release candidate images that can be tested prior to production releases (aka merges to `master`)
+1. Reduces excessive or redundant build testing through the use of Draft/WIP pull requests
+1. Enables manual build triggering as needed through the Draft/WIP vs. "Ready for Review" pull requests
+1. Allows for easy ad-hoc deployment of images to any environment (assuming above safeguards are in place)
+1. Provides a basis for potential future continuous deployment
+
+### Process
+
+(Will start at the end of the cycle, as it oddly makes things more clear)
+
+#### Release Cycle Pt. 1:
+
+- An official "release" (version bump) is merged from develop to master.
+- The production Docker image `<appname>:latest` is then updated and pushed to GitHub Packages.
+- After this release update is complete, a new Draft/WIP PR for the next release is created (again a merge from develop to master). 
+
+#### Development Cycle:
+
+- Once development on a new release begins, developers create their short-lived feature branches off of develop.
+- Once their feature is complete, they create a new PR to merge from their feature branch to develop.
+- When the PR is created, an `<appname>:pr#` image is autodamically built uploaded to GitHub Packages.
+    - Note that this image is intentionally separate from the prod `<appname>` image.
+- (Optional) - After the `<appname>-develop:pr#` image build & upload is complete, some process (PR labeling or a PR comment) "enables" this image to be tested in appdev, ci, and/or next.
+- Through some process, we test the image in these environments.
+    - Note that if we simply use the `<appname>-develop:pr#` nomenclature, the above "test environment enabling" may not be needed. 
+    - Simply specifying which PR# tag you want to pull in each environment would suffice.
+- Once all testing is complete, the code is merged to develop.
+
+#### Release Cycle Pt. 2
+
+- Once all development for a release is complete, the aforementioned "Release PR" (aka the long-running Draft/WIP PR that will merge from develop to master) is taken out of WIP/Draft mode.
+- Taking the Release PR out of Draft/WIP will trigger one final build test from the develop branch.
+- Once this image has passed the initial build test, the repo owner can merge the Release PR to master.
+- Once merged, the final build image will be uploaded to the prod `<appname>:latest` image.
+- Process starts again by creating a new Draft/WIP Release PR for the next release.
+
+### Discussion
+
+#### Process Advantages
+
+- Using the `<appname>-develop:pr#` naming scheme allows us to test multiple feature improvements at will, allowing for higher velocity development.
+- Separating features in this way allows us to run build tests on smaller changes, reducing errors.
+- The final Release PR build ensures that the final production image still builds correctly without error.
+- Keeping separate prod & `-develop` images allows us to pull development, pre-release (release candidate), and production images at will.
+- Note that although the `-develop` image will have a fair number of tags (one per PR), it's extremely easy to pull the correct test image by simply specifying the `:pr-#` tag.
+
+
+#### Image Naming
+
+
+| Environment      | Image  | Contains | Note      |
+| ----------- | ----------- |----------- |----------- |
+| Dev      | _appname_-develop:pr-## | Pre-merge dev PR build| \*See `Improvements` section|
+| Pre-Stage   | _appname_-develop:latest | Latest post-mere dev PR build | |
+| Stage      | _appname_:pr-##       | Pre-merge dev -> master release candidate | |
+| Prod   | _appname_:latest        | Production (post-merge master) build | |
+
+#### Deployment
+
+Our current process of deploying to active environmets (appdev, ci, next, & prod) utilizes Docker image tags.
+
+To implement this tagging in the new process, a workflow script is being developed to trigger retags of the above images (typically just the `:latest` test and prod images) manually via an web hook. This hook can be triggered by an internal (behind the firewall):
+
+- CI tool like Jenkins
+- Chatops bot connected to Slack
+- Other tool such as Postman
+
+#### Improvements
+
+This builds on the Deployment section above...
+
+- \*Currently pulling a specific `development` build (pre-merge) woul require going into the Rancher UI and updating the `_appname_-develop:pr-##` number to reflect the PR you wish to test.
+  - This is fine as an MVP, given the core devs have access to our Appdev Rancher cluster.
+  - For future Rancher environments, it is possible that fewer devs will have direct access, neccessitating some improvements to the process.
+- A potential improvement might be to implement a bit of "chat-ops":
+  - When a new PR build completes, a notification is posted in the related Slack channel (e.g. \#narrative-build).
+  - _Only_ devs who can update the dev enviroment are members of this locked channel.
+  - Once a PR build notification is posted, one of the devs/devops members can deploy with something like `.appdev deploy pr-##`.
+  - A chat bot in _our_ infrastructure would listen for these chatops commands and use Rancher's API to update the image url (`_appname_-develop:pr-##`) and reload the service in question.
+- Depending on the difficulty of deploying multiple frontends (in the case of `narrative`) to connect to the same appdev backend, it could be possible to test multiple PRs simultaneously, using URLs like `pr##.appdev.kbase.us`. :shrug:
