## About the changes
We have many aggregation queries that run on a schedule:
f63496d47f/src/lib/metrics.ts (L714-L719)
These staticCounters are usually doing db query aggregations that
traverse tables and we run all of them in parallel:
f63496d47f/src/lib/metrics.ts (L410-L412)
This can add strain to the db. This PR suggests a way of handling these
queries in a more structured way, allowing us to run them sequentially
(therefore spreading the load):
f02fe87835/src/lib/metrics-gauge.ts (L38-L40)
As an additional benefit, we get both the gauge definition and the
queries in a single place:
f02fe87835/src/lib/metrics.ts (L131-L141)
This PR only tackles 1 metric, and it only focuses on gauges to gather
initial feedback. The plan is to migrate these metrics and eventually
incorporate more types (e.g. counters)
