Integration settings not propagated to projects under a large group tree

Summary

Enabling integrations for a group with a large number of sub-groups / projects will not complete propagation to the projects.

Steps to reproduce

Note: I could only reproduce this in gitlab.com

  1. Create a lot of sub-groups / projects.
    1. I used this script to generate 7 levels of subgroups with varying numbers of groups / projects. In total, there were 5000 projects and ~2200 subgroups.
  2. In the parent group, enable an integration.
    1. I reproduced with both Microsoft Teams Notifications and Bugzilla.

Result:

Subgroups will show the integration and inherited settings from the parent group.

Projects will not show any inherited settings for the integration.

Example Project

https://gitlab.com/irisb_premium_group/655796

What is the current bug behavior?

The query to update integration settings for projects under the group times out

What is the expected correct behavior?

Projects would inherit the integration settings.

Postgres logs report that the query is cancelled due to timeout, which seems to be 15 seconds.
