[DOCS] - add an "events" guide #200

Closed choldgraf closed 3 years ago

choldgraf commented 4 years ago

In a recent incident, we noticed some sub-optimal behavior around a bunch of events that happened at the same time. In particular:

  1. A lot of changes were made to the repository just before the event, which resulted in a lot of image pulling that slowed launches
  2. A lot of users clicked all at the same time, which required a new node and this slowed launches, which the users interpreted as broken sessions

We should provide some recommendations to users who are using Binder in a time-sensitive way such as an event or a workshop.
