Delete project events before the project

Vasilii Iakliushin requested to merge 346169_batch_delete_events into master

What does this MR do and why?

Contributes to #346169 (closed)

Problem

We delete events via cascade delete. But it leads to a higher chance of the statement timeout error for DELETE FROM project query.

Solution

Delete events before the project in a separate query to avoid a timeout.

Screenshots or screen recordings

Before

...
Project Destroy (154.9ms)  DELETE FROM "projects" WHERE "projects"."id" = 79 /*application:console,db_config_name:main,line:/app/services/projects/destroy_service.rb:136:in `destroy_project_related_records'*/
...

After

...
Event Destroy (64.6ms)  DELETE FROM "events" WHERE "events"."project_id" = 79 /*application:console,db_config_name:main,line:/app/services/events/destroy_service.rb:10:in `execute'*/
...
Project Destroy (94.5ms)  DELETE FROM "projects" WHERE "projects"."id" = 79 /*application:console,db_config_name:main,line:/app/services/projects/destroy_service.rb:149:in `destroy_project_related_records'*/

How to set up and validate locally

  1. Create a new project
  2. Generate events for this project (I used the Rails console to create them)
1_000.times { project.events.create(author: user, action: 1) }
  1. Try to delete the project
# Show SQL queries in console 
ActiveRecord::Base.logger = Logger.new(STDOUT)

# Choose project to delete and a user record
user = User.first
project = Project.last

# Execute project deletion process and roll it back (to avoid constant project recreation)
ActiveRecord::Base.transaction { Projects::DestroyService.new(project, user, {}).execute; raise ActiveRecord::Rollback; }
  1. Verify executed SQL queries. You should see DELETE FROM events before DELETE FROM projects query.
