Boot production rails server in preflight stage
What does this MR do and why?
Closes gitlab-org/quality/engineering-productivity/team#178 (closed)
Boot the production rails server in the preflight stage, to help us detect pre-boot errors.
We run the rails server command in the background, then we do a few retries on http://0.0.0.0:3000. As soon as a retry passes, the job will succeed.
Note: The job took 2 minutes and 34 seconds. Since no important jobs will wait for them thanks to needs:, it shouldn't be a problem.
