Improve seeds.rb with more workshops
In db/seeds.rb we are creating a small amount of workshops.
Rails.logger.info "Creating a lot of old workshops..."
past_workshops_since_n_months = 5 * 12
past_workshops_one_per_n_months = 6
past_workshops_count = past_workshops_since_n_months/past_workshops_one_per_n_months
past_workshops = past_workshops_count.times.map do |n|
Fabricate(:workshop, title: 'Workshop',
chapter: chapters.sample,
date_and_time: Time.zone.now - past_workshops_since_n_months.months + (past_workshops_one_per_n_months * n).months)
end
The calculation is a bit tricky to follow, but I think that the example above creates 10 (5*12/6) workshops, spaced out 6 (past_workshops_one_per_n_months ) months apart. That's not "a lot of old workshops".
In order to be able to notice issues, such as the one that caused an outage on 2025-08-23 (fixed in #2301), we should be generating a lot more data in the local and staging environments.
We should generate at least double the current volume of workshops as there are in production. Let's say 10k workshops, just to be on the safe side.
