    • Refresh project authorizations using a Redis lease · 92b2c74c

      When I proposed using serializable transactions I was hoping we would be
      able to refresh data of individual users concurrently. Unfortunately
      upon closer inspection it was revealed this was not the case. This could
      result in a lot of queries failing due to serialization errors,
      overloading the database in the process (given enough workers trying to
      update the target table).
      
      To work around this we're now using a Redis lease that is cancelled upon
      completion. This ensures we can update the data of different users
      concurrently without overloading the database.
      
      The code will try to obtain the lease until it succeeds, waiting at
      least 1 second between retries. This is necessary as we may otherwise
      end up _not_ updating the data which is not an option.
