Explore performance improvements to the pipeline page/graph
Problem
We're getting lots of feedback from our users about poor performance of the pipeline graph/page. Slow loading times and general bugginess when dealing with large pipelines leads to decreased perceived usability and negatively affects the day-to-day GitLab experience for CI/CD users.
Feedback received from the System Usability Survey:
The pages take a long time to load
Pipelines user interface or often slow to appear
I hate it having to refresh pipeline pages 4 times before the tail starts.
If i have alot of jobs and steps in pipeline, the pipeline gets to much buggy.
Proposal
We need to explore ways to improve the performance of the pipeline.
