Group Vulnerability Report CSV Export fails to respond for very large groups
Very large groups, such as https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org itself are unable to export their Group level Vulnerability Report as CSV as the request times out after waiting quite a long time.
This is likely caused by the same underlying performance issues that are breaking the report itself, which we are currently working to resolve in Group-level vulnerability report page performan... (&12372).
If the bug is not implicitly resolved by our optimisation efforts, we may need to pay specific attention to this feature so that it can appropriately benefit.
Workarounds
Attempt to distribute projects to sub groups and use those sub group Group Vulnerability Report pages and their csv export functionality.
Implementation Plan
-
backend Implement a segmented export protocol that exports data in separate sidekiq jobs before knitting the final products into a single file to avoid various export failures.
