I have an idea of how we could deal with extreme slowness of calling collectstatic when using object storage:

We could hash the output of pip freeze in the dashboard container
Before calling collectstatic we check in redis to see if the current pip freeze hash is different from the one saved there
If it's different we call collectstatic and then save the new hash in redis

@pandafy @atb00ker what do you think?

I think this would work! 😄

I agree, this will surely reduce the time for bringing up new container.
