https://linear.app/tryghost/issue/ONC-217/implement-the-deliverytime-option-in-mailgun-api-calls
Ghost experiences its highest peak load immediately after sending out a
newsletter, as it recieves an influx of traffic from users clicking on
the links in the email, a burst of email analytics events to process
from mailgun, and an increase in organic traffic to the site's frontend
as well as the admin analytics pages. The `BatchSendingService`
currently sends all the batches to Mailgun as quickly as possible, which
may contribute to higher peak loads.
This commit adds a `deliverytime` parameter to our API calls to Mailgun,
which allows us to specify a time in the future when we want the email
to be delivered. This will allow us to moderate the rate at which emails
are delivered, and in turn that should moderate the peak traffic volume
that Ghost receives in the first 2-3 minutes after sending an email.
The `deliverytime` is calculated based on a configurable parameter:
`bulkEmail.targetDeliveryWindow`, which specifies the maximum allowable
time (in milliseconds) after the email is first sent for Ghost to
instruct Mailgun to deliver the emails. Ghost will attempt to space out
all the batches as evenly as possible throughout the specified window.
For example, if the targetDeliveryWindow is set to `300000` (5 minutes)
and there are 100 batches, Ghost will set the `deliveryTime` for each
batch ~3 seconds apart.
no issue
- These retries were added a while ago when these tests were flaking in
CI, but this only serves to cover up any potential problems with these
tests or the code they are testing
- Ran these tests in CI three times in a row without them failing, so I
don't think the retries are necessary
no issue
- One of the tests in this suite added a member and didn't clean it up
when it was finished.
- Because of this, the tests after this one depended on this test
running first, so running an individual test in isolation might fail,
despite passing when run in the whole test suite
- This commit removes the added member, so all the tests in this suite
should pass whether run independently or all together
ref https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/pull/20835
- reimplemented email analytics changes that prioritized opened events
over other events in order to speed up open analytics
- added db persistence to fetch missing job to ensure we re-fetch every
window of events, especially important if we restart following a large
email batch
We learned a few things with the previous trial run of this. Namely,
that event throughput is not as high as we initially saw in the data for
particularly large databases. This set of changes is more conservative,
while a touch more complicated, in ensuring we capture edge cases for
really large newsletter sends (100k+ members).
In general, we want to make sure we're fetching new open events at least
every 5 mins, and often much faster than that, unless it's a quiet
period (suggesting we haven't had a newsletter send or much outstanding
event data).

Our `stripe_prices.nickname` field had a length of 50 chars which meant we could error out trying to save a donation Stripe price with a generated product nickname containing a long site title.
- updated db schema and added a migration to change column length to 255
- added truncation to nickname generation to enforce a limit of 250 chars to match Stripe's limit

Give your audience a simple way to support your work with one-time payments, no membership required.
- cleaned up `tipsAndDonations` labs flag

- often when adding portal links to your own site pages the URLs are added as absolute on the site's homepage due to copy+paste from displayed URLs in Admin
- when clicking absolute portal URLs the homepage is first loaded before the Portal popup is shown resulting in a slower and flashier experience
- added a transform for all local portal URLs on the page when Portal is initialized so links open the Portal popup immediately on the current page

- this was previously causing duplicate builds of the TS projects
because Nx was building all projects with `build` targets, and we were
also calling `build:ts`
- this cuts 12 compilation jobs from the archive process, which should
help with container build times

- Given that all of the correct config is in place, output a tracking
script
- This allows us to send pageview events into tinybird
- All of the details (location of the script, destination etc) are kept
in config so that it's easy to change for different environments
ref DES-706
* After a user publishes or schedules a post, they are directed to the post list
* If a post is sent as an email, they are directed to the Analytics page
* In both cases, a confirmation modal is shown
* If a post is published, they can share it directly from the confirmation modal
* Added a "Share" button and some additional functions (view, edit, and delete post) to
published posts in post analytics
* Added a manual "Refresh" button to post analytics so that there is
no need to reload the whole app to update the data

This service can get rather noisy when doing local development with our
data generator, as we do not use real urls, and therefore generate a lot
of not found errors in the console.

- This checks if tinybird:stats is set, and if so passes through the
config that is set via the config API
- This is used by Ghost admin to configure where to pull charts from
- we added NestJS to Ghost as a way forwards for a new framework within
Ghost but we haven't added much to it
- requiring all the NestJS code adds about 6-9% to our boot time, so if
we're not using it, it's just time we're burning for no benefit
- for now, I've gated this behind an env var to prevent it from loading
- we can't use labs flags in the boot process, so I've gone for an env
var

This fix is done at the endpoint layer, which isn't ideal, but has the smallest
surface area for the change. I think we may want to move it up a layer though,
despite the extra complications. If we move the check _into_ the MembersAPI
class however, we start to run into issues with circular dependncies due to the
mess that is our dependency injection approach with the Members service
ref https://linear.app/tryghost/issue/ONC-274
This test checks that a welcome email is not sent when adding a member via the
Admin API if the site is in need of email verification, regardless of whether
or not the flag to send an email is set.
It is currently failing to demonstrate the whole in our logic.
All tests after this one were in a non-sending email state, which luckily
doesn't affect these tests, but it will affect future ones! This just cleans up
the settings so that they're back to a standard default.
- Swap the e2e config API test to use our newer framework, and match against a
snapshot for the default case
- Move the individual test cases to unit tests (new file) - there are more to add
here, but this is parity with what we had before
- We use unit tests for checking through various cases for how config
changes modify the output as this is faster and more explicit

- These items are never returned from the API as they've been removed
from the serializer
- The tests also check that they are not present
- They were removed by the referenced commits, which changed how these
things were built
ref PLG-160
- Refactored donation handling logic to be processed within the
`checkout.session.completed` webhook event.
- Added support for capturing and storing donation messages from Stripe
sessions.
- Integrated donation messages into the email notifications sent to
staff.
- Added database integration.
- Removed redundant donation logic from the invoice.payment_succeeded
webhook, since custom fields isn't supported.
- Updated and added new tests

no issue
- when redirecting from Stripe back to Ghost after making a donation the URL contained a double slash (`//#/portal/...`) which triggered browser security errors when Portal modified the browser history stack when navigating
- the above could prevent the donation success modal from closing

After releasing the analytics job improvements, it appears for large
sites we're awfully close to missing some Mailgun events because of an
unexpected behavior of the aggregateStats call for just the opened
events job. This is taking 2-5x(+) the amount of time that the aggregate
queries take for the other jobs, despite not being dependent on the
events.
To err on the side of caution, we're going to roll this back and look to
optimize the aggregation queries before re-implementing. And we may be a
bit more cautious in giving _some_ but not _all_ priority to the
`opened` events.
