Track storage

[jorgemanrubia]

This tracks storage at the account and board level.

Comments, cards, boards will notify up storage changes, offering an opportunity to store the change to the ancestors in the containment hierarchy.

We only count the storage taken by Action Text attachments for now.

Thanks for @packagethief for feedback on the approach, based on our experience with Basecamp 🙏

• Move board update to job too
• Run migration in production

This extends ActionText objects to query for the used storage.

I think we can use attachable_filesize here which tries both byte_size and filesize:

Suggested change

	attachables.sum { |attachable| attachable.try(:byte_size) || 0 }
	attachables.sum { |attachable| attachable.attachable_filesize || 0 }

Oh nice TIL

Should we display "storage used" somewhere on the Account Settings page?

I was trying to get the internals here, but yeah that will be the next step once this gets merged (cc @jzimdars)

Here I think we'd just iterate over the cards and ask them to recalculate themselves, taking care of their own dependents.

Each class that includes ::StorageTracking is responsible for providing recalculate_bytes_used and having it return the new value. They can implement their own caching policy as they see fit. Cards and comments, for example, don't cache the value, but having them do so would be easy to add.

# Account::StorageTracking
def recalculate_bytes_used
  boards.find_each(&:recalculate_bytes_used).sum.tap do |value|
    update_column :bytes_used, value
  end
end

# Board::StorageTracking
def recalculate_bytes_used
  cards.find_each(&:recalculate_bytes_used).sum.tap do |value|
    update_column :bytes_used, value
  end
end

# Card::StorageTracking (doesn't cache the result)
def recalculate_bytes_used
  bytes_used = rich_text_associations.sum { # ... }
  bytes_used + comments.find_each(&:recalculate_bytes_used).sum
end

If we need to in the future, we could implement a more efficient calculate_bytes_used. It would use cached values where possible without performing a full recalculation.

Closing for now since @jeremy has a better approach in mind to try here ✨✨
