* Dashboard doesn't timeout anymore when Amazon S3 is used for backups
* Storage stats are now a proper report with the same caching rules
* Changing the backup_location, s3_backup_bucket or creating and deleting backups removes the report from the cache
* It shows the number of backups and the backup location
* It shows the used space for the correct backup location instead of always showing used space on local storage
* It shows the date of the last backup as relative date
* Logs exceptions during the cleanup phase, but doesn't stop executing subsequent cleanup tasks.
* Notifies the user at the end of the cleanup phase, so that the log contains possible errors during that phase.
Introduce new patterns for direct sql that are safe and fast.
MiniSql is not prone to memory bloat that can happen with direct PG usage.
It also has an extremely fast materializer and very a convenient API
- DB.exec(sql, *params) => runs sql returns row count
- DB.query(sql, *params) => runs sql returns usable objects (not a hash)
- DB.query_hash(sql, *params) => runs sql returns an array of hashes
- DB.query_single(sql, *params) => runs sql and returns a flat one dimensional array
- DB.build(sql) => returns a sql builder

* `rescue nil` is a really bad pattern to use in our code base.
We should rescue errors that we expect the code to throw and
not rescue everything because we're unsure of what errors the
code would throw. This would reduce the amount of pain we face
when debugging why something isn't working as expexted. I've
been bitten countless of times by errors being swallowed as a
result during debugging sessions.
* Since we can no longer restore into a different schema,
we will move tables in the public schema into the backup schema
first before restoring the dump file which goes into the public
schema. The downside to this approach is that we will increase
the downtime experienced during the restore process. Downtime
would equal the duration of restoring the dump file.
* In `pg_dump` 10.3+ and 9.5.12+, in
it does a `SELECT pg_catalog.set_config('search_path', '', false)`
which changes the state of the current connection. This is known
to be problematic with Pgbouncer which reuses connections. As such,
we'll always try to connect directly to PG directly during
the backup/restore process.
