+## How housekeeping handles pool repositories
+
+Housekeeping for pool repositories is handled differently from standard repositories.
+It is ultimately performed by the Gitaly RPC `FetchIntoObjectPool`.
+
+This is the current call stack by which it is invoked:
+
+1. `Projects::HousekeepingService#execute_gitlab_shell_gc`
+1. `GitGarbageCollectWorker#perform`
+1. `Projects::GitDeduplicationService#fetch_from_source`
+1. `ObjectPool#fetch`
+1. `ObjectPoolService#fetch`
+1. `Gitaly::FetchIntoObjectPoolRequest`
+
+To manually invoke it from a Rails console, if needed, you can call `project.pool_repository.object_pool.fetch`.
+This is a potentially long-running task, though Gitaly will timeout in about 8 hours.

+## Protect production secrets
+
+Production secrets are needed to deploy successfully. For example, when deploying to the cloud,
+cloud providers require these secrets to connect to their services. In the project settings, you can
+define and protect environment variables for these secrets. [Protected variables](../variables/README.md#protect-a-custom-variable)
+are only passed to pipelines running on [protected branches](../../user/project/protected_branches.md)
+or [protected tags](../../user/project/protected_tags.md).
+The other pipelines don't get the protected variable. You can also
+[scope variables to specific environments](../variables/where_variables_can_be_used.md#variables-with-an-environment-scope).
+We recommend that you use protected variables on protected environments to make sure that the
+secrets aren't exposed unintentionally. You can also define production secrets on the
+[runner side](../runners/README.md#prevent-runners-from-revealing-sensitive-information).
+This prevents other maintainers from reading the secrets and makes sure that the runner only runs on
+protected branches.
+
+For more information, see [pipeline security](../pipelines/index.md#pipeline-security-on-protected-branches).
+
+## Separate project for deployments
+
+All project maintainers have access to production secrets. If you need to limit the number of users
+that can deploy to a production environment, you can create a separate project and configure a new
+permission model that isolates the CD permissions from the original project and prevents the
+original project's maintainers from accessing the production secret and CD configuration. You can
+connect the CD project to your development projects by using [multi-project pipelines](../multi_project_pipelines.md).
+
+## Protect `gitlab-ci.yml` from change
+
+A `.gitlab-ci.yml` may contain rules to deploy an application to the production server. This
+deployment usually runs automatically after pushing a merge request. To prevent developers from
+changing the `gitlab-ci.yml`, you can define it in a different repository. The configuration can
+reference a file in another project with a completely different set of permissions (similar to
+[separating a project for deployments](#separate-project-for-deployments)).
+In this scenario, the `gitlab-ci.yml` is publicly accessible, but can only be edited by users with
+appropriate permissions in the other project.
+
+For more information, see [Custom CI configuration path](../pipelines/settings.md#custom-ci-configuration-path).

+### Estimated Batch Counters
+
+> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/48233) in GitLab 13.7.
+
+Estimated batch counter functionality handles `ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid` errors
+when used through the provided `estimate_batch_distinct_count` method.
+Errors return a value of `-1`.
+
+WARNING:
+This functionality estimates a distinct count of a specific ActiveRecord_Relation in a given column,
+which uses the [HyperLogLog](http://algo.inria.fr/flajolet/Publications/FlFuGaMe07.pdf) algorithm.
+As the HyperLogLog algorithm is probabilistic, the **results always include error**.
+The highest encountered error rate is 4.9%.
+
+When correctly used, the `estimate_batch_distinct_count` method enables efficient counting over
+columns that contain non-unique values, which can not be assured by other counters.
+
+Method: [`estimate_batch_distinct_count(relation, column = nil, batch_size: nil, start: nil, finish: nil)`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/lib/gitlab/utils/usage_data.rb#L63)
+
+The method includes the following arguments:
+
+- `relation`: The ActiveRecord_Relation to perform the count.
+- `column`: The column to perform the distinct count. The default is the primary key.
+- `batch_size`: The default is 10,000, from `Gitlab::Database::PostgresHll::BatchDistinctCounter::DEFAULT_BATCH_SIZE`.
+- `start`: The custom start of the batch count, to avoid complex minimum calculations.
+- `finish`: The custom end of the batch count in order to avoid complex maximum calculations.
+
+The method includes the following prerequisites:
+
+1. The supplied `relation` must include the primary key defined as the numeric column.
+ For example: `id bigint NOT NULL`.
+1. The `estimate_batch_distinct_count` can handle a joined relation. To use its ability to
+ count non-unique columns, the joined relation **must NOT** have a one-to-many relationship,
+ such as `has_many :boards`.
+1. Both `start` and `finish` arguments should always represent primary key relationship values,
+ even if the estimated count refers to another column, for example:
+
+ ```ruby
+ estimate_batch_distinct_count(::Note, :author_id, start: ::Note.minimum(:id), finish: ::Note.maximum(:id))
+ ```
+
