From #882, current approach to thumbnails is problematic because:

1. Requires loading and rendering thumbnail on cache misses for projects that could have runaway rendering.
2. Problem is exacerbated as the no. of projects increases.

### Possible solution

Don't lazy load thumbnails. Instead, render the thumbnail immediately after a project is successfully saved and the response is sent.
