[Logs UI][Metrics UI] Reduce infra bundle size

[afgomez]

Our bundle limit size is currently at 200KB. We would like to reduce that to increase the page load time. As a challenge we would like to cut that limit in half.

Questions

• What are the outliers in infra.bundle.js?
• Can they be loaded asyncronously?
• Can they be replaced with a light weight alternative?
• Is there any dead weight?

Related: what can we do to reduce the overall footprint of the infra plugin? Even if the entry point is around 200K, some of the other chunks are well above that.

I have noticed some things in our bundle:

Potentially unnecessary modules

• Inside node_modules there are two big boxes: URL and mustache. We can see where they are being used and potentially replace them with native alternatives or remove them completely.

Alerting components

• Inside public/alerting and common/alerting there are modules for log_threshold and metric_threshold. These can potentially be moved so the log modules are loaded only in logs, and the metrics only in metrics.

Not planning on making any specific changes here at this time.
