Summary

Depends on D3691

As suggested in https://phabricator.ashoat.com/D3498#98870 we want to avoid using compile-time flags and replace them with reading environment variables in the runtime.

Test Plan
cd services
yarn test-backup-service
yarn test-backup-service-dev-mode
yarn run-backup-service
yarn run-backup-service-dev-mode
yarn test-blob-service
yarn test-blob-service-dev-mode
yarn run-blob-service
yarn run-blob-service-dev-mode

They all should work as before.

This looks really messy... can we pull the ternary out of the conditional to make it cleaner?

Yeah, this seems to be overly complicated. What do you think about something like this.

Also, creating a function that returns a bool would be really useful.

I think a helper function is a way to go here!

add helper function isDevMode()

Please use the new function in decorateTableName functions before landing

isDevMode checks against COMM_SERVICES_DEV_MODE, here we have COMM_TEST_SERVICES. These are 2 different flags.

We could create a similar function isTesting but std::getenv("COMM_TEST_SERVICES") is really used only in one place so there's no point I guess.

as above

Please do not land this diff with this messy ternary inside a conditional. It is very difficult to read

We've landed this, but one possible option here was to introduce a new function e.g. hasEnvFlag that would contain the if with two conditions and could be used here and in isDevMode function.

This is true, we can have hasEnvFlag. Creating a follow up as this is landed already https://linear.app/comm/issue/ENG-1104/consider-creating-hasenvflag-function
