Backend: Improve CI Linter performance through parallelizing HTTP calls
Summary
Some users have been receiving a timeout error when using remote includes. In an effort to help the CI linter perform better, research has suggested that the problem could be resolved by requesting HTTP external resources in a sequential way.
Solution
By parallelizing the HTTP calls when using remote includes, it will improve the performance of running a pipeline, and having the calls done in parallel should decrease these occurrences of timeout errors. Leveraging the MAX_INCLUDES attribute could also be considered.
