Improving LinkedIn Auto-Sync with Staggered Posts

The devlog-ist/landing project focuses on enhancing the landing page experience. We've recently addressed an issue with our LinkedIn auto-sync feature to prevent bot detection. Previously, auto-generated posts were published simultaneously, which risked triggering bot detection mechanisms on LinkedIn.

To mitigate this, we've implemented a staggering mechanism. Now, posts are scheduled with approximately 30-minute intervals, with a small random variation to avoid predictable patterns. This approach distributes the posting activity over time, making it appear more natural and less likely to be flagged as automated.

A per-tenant cache lock ensures that concurrent batch jobs don't collapse onto the same time slot, maintaining the staggered schedule. Manual publishing remains unaffected and continues to be immediate. This change improves the reliability and effectiveness of our LinkedIn auto-sync feature.
