Description

the update job still fetches repositories from github one at a time. after DB writes are batched, github/network latency will likely become the next major bottleneck.

  • add a small worker pool for github repository reads, likely 5-10 workers
  • preserve existing 404 delete handling and error counts
  • handle primary and secondary github rate limits with backoff
  • keep database writes batched after results are collected
  • verify update duration and github error behavior in ecs logs

Research direction

Locate the update job and the existing GitHub repository reads, 404 deletion handling, error counting, and batched database writes. Review current ECS logs for update duration and GitHub errors before changing concurrency; done means reads use a small worker pool, rate limits back off, writes remain batched, and logs show preserved error behavior.
