Investigate Import/Export excessive memory consumption issues
We received several reports on customer being unable to export projects:
- https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/dev-sub-department/section-dev-request-for-help/-/issues/112+
- https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/dev-sub-department/section-dev-request-for-help/-/issues/122+
- https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/dev-sub-department/section-dev-request-for-help/-/issues/125+
From what we've seen, exports started to not complete due to excessive memory consumption starting in GitLab 16.0.4
. Prior to that, customers have been able to successfully export projects.
We investigate this further by trying to reproduce the problem in two runs/migrations (before 16.0.4 and after).
