Observation¶

The spike solution generates PNG previews with unique names (to workaround client preview image caching). The drawback is that every pipeline run will also remove the previous preview hence making the old links linking a non-existing image. This may result in previews not being correct if we have notifications in Slack (or Matrix, or elsewhere).

Acceptance Criteria¶

• AC1: URL previews for the backlog status work consistently
• AC2: Preview images are updated on a regular basis

Suggestions¶

• Preview images are generated in GitHub CI
  • GitHub deletes old results, and by extension images
  • Research if there's a different way to use different URL parameters instead of an image with a different name to avoid the issue with previews being removed (/foo/bar.png?d3adb33f)
  • Find another way to store the preview image?
  • See if certain headers or meta data can be used to address caching
