Description

The frontend loads pretty slow, especially because a lot of data needs to be fetched from the github api.

Instead of fetching and calculating the data on each request, the data can be easily cached in the database backend. On webhooks and the regular worker this cache can be updated.

Research direction

Start by tracing the frontend requests that fetch and calculate pull request data from the GitHub API, then inspect the webhook and regular worker paths mentioned in the issue. Done means pull request data is served from a database cache and that cache is updated by both webhooks and the regular worker.
