Originally, this was sorta a cache warmup script: we wanted to fill in manifests that we hadn't checked for yet.
But now, I want to _also_ check previous cache misses, that we stored in the db as an empty string. Maybe it's been converted now!
We download the schema from prod, and omit real data, but I didn't notice that we were still pulling the metadata of the auto increment counter for IDs! Now, we scrub that from the schema file we save.
Boom, now we can also run a clean MySQL test db on each test that wants it :)
the test I wrote as a sample is currently marked `it.skip` because it's not passing yet!
This is in preparation for hiding bio zone restrictions but showing item zone restrictions!
I also refactor the build-cached-data script substantially, to run GraphQL against the server instead of a custom query.
In this change, we cache the zones table as part of the JS build process. This keeps the database as our source of truth, while aggressively caching the data at deploy time.
See the new README for some rationale!
I tested this by pulling up dev Honeycomb, and observing that we no longer run db queries to `zones` in the new traces for the wardrobe page. (It's a good thing we did it this way, because I noticed some code in the server that was still loading the zone anyway, and fixed it here!)
I was finding the script too slow running on my local machine, because the SQL RTTs were too slow - and with one connection, they were essentially a serial bottleneck, not taking much advantage of our concurrency.
Here, I instead add a `--dump` option, which outputs SQL to stdout. I then uploaded the resulting SQL to the DTI box, and ran it up there. Doing the network part fast on my machine, and the SQL part fast on the cloud machine!
I first considered uploading this script to the cloud machine, but it's an old Ubuntu and I couldn't figure out how to install a recent NodeJS onto it 🙃
This reverts commit 0f7ab9d10e.
The Production Vercel deploys don't seem to like how I did this build trick, even though the Preview deploys seem fine with it 🤔 Reverting for now, sent a message to Vercel support.
Just gonna bulk load all those manifests into the db, and then that should make most loads notably faster by removing the net request! 🤞
We'll still load manifests inline sometimes, but only the first time anyone pulls up the layer in impress-2020. After that, it should be cached forever!
