Proposed changes
What changed
Pre-render all pages on startup, to ensure they are cached before serving requests
Why did it change
We see a high rate of 503s when spinning up new containers during a load test, suggesting that new containers are seeing a high event loop latency.
One possible explanation is that this is occurring when loading uncached templates from disk (as Nunjucks does this synchronously). By preloading the templates, we should be able to keep the event loop latency low once serving requests.
