App page save compaction

Available on Retool Cloud and in self-hosted Retool 3.178 or later.

Retool made internal improvements that streamline the way we save and store your app saves, resulting in quicker app load times for users.

These improvements are automatically applied to customers on Retool Cloud. If your organization is self-hosted, run the following shell command in your backend container to remove old entries for apps that have been deleted and compact data from app edits older than a month:

./retool_backend --run-pagesave-compaction

Run this command as often as necssary to clean up your database.

You can also pass in an optional --concurrency parameter to specify the number of concurrent connections to the database in order to speed up the process. For example, --concurrency 4 opens 4 connections. The default value is 1.
