Frontend: UI updates when max jobs limit is reached

Problem to solve

Users are creating really large pipelines with over 1000 jobs and GitLab does not handle these jobs very well.

Intended users

User experience goal

Proposal

Frontend + Docs

• Notify users when the pipeline creation fails
• In cases where the pipeline persists on database(git push), the alert should be shown on the pipeline overview page Design
• In cases where pipeline does not persist(UI button, API calls, pipeline schedules) - Users should be shown an alert immediately on the same page where the action is. In my understanding, for schedules the alert should stay on the schedules page. Design
• Add the limit to the documentation https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/instance_limits.html#gitlab-application-limits
• Not sure where it could appear for API calls🤔

Is this a cross-stage feature?
