2023-12-15 - Cloud Function Deployment - Rate Limiting
=================================================================================

Release
==================
*Status: Available*

*Type: Bug-Squash*

*Date: 2023-12-15*

Problem
==================
There is a rate limit for how many cloud functions we can deploy simultaneously. 

We started to hit the rate limit a few months back now that we are refreshing 32 cloud functions each release.

Solution
==================
Create a series of 'batch groups' with a short delay associated with them, then randomly assign all the cloud functions to a group at deployment time. This means that each batch is started at a different time and contains a subset of all the functions, meaning we can deploy all of them and keep within the rate limits.

Leverage the Magic
====================================
We leverage (and extend) our pattern that automatically creates a deployment manifest for all the cloud functions, and tweak it slightly to create micro batches within the manifest.
