Hi! If I read the code correctly, pgadmin will (unless turned off) hit the website to check the version.json file for updates *every time it starts*.
Wouldn't it make sense to rate limit that to checking say once per 24 hours maximum? Or even 48? It seems nobody needs the update *that* quickly, and AFAICT it does call out to make that check synchronously on startup which means the user is waiting. And if/when doing that, it would be useful to include an If-Modified-Since header on the request, so the server can just respond with a tiny 304 reply when there is no update, which is going to be the majority of the time. Or possibly even more efficiently, create a custom etag and use If-None-Matches. If you make that etag be say the version that the client has, it becomes very cheap to check and you don't need to track any extra data. -- Magnus Hagander Me: https://www.hagander.net/ Work: https://www.redpill-linpro.com/
