Cache epics count in sidebar at the group level [RUN ALL RSPEC] [RUN AS-IF-FOSS]
What does this MR do?
Related to #299540 (closed)
Similarly to the work done for issues and MRs, and for performance reasons, in this MR we implement caching the epic count in the sidebar at a group level. This value will be cached with the following conditions:
- The total count will be cached only if it's over the threshold value (currently
1000
). - The cache will expire after
24 hours
. - To reflect that any count over the threshold value is "imprecise" they will be truncated by thousands. For example,
2350
->2.3k
,14300
->14.3k
,112560
->112.6k
.
This change is behind the FF cached_sidebar_open_epics_count
, enabled by default.
