The performance platform is going away soon. The only stat that we do not have in our database is the processing time. Let me clarify the only statistic we don't have in our database that we can query efficiently is the processing time. Any queries on notification_history are too inefficient to use on a web page.
Processing time = the total number of normal/team emails and text messages plus the number of messages that have gone from created to sending within 10 seconds per whole day. We can then easily calculate the percentage of messages that were marked as sending under 10 seconds.
Assertions should only be used in tests - they can be disabled at
runtime by setting the python flag -O (though I don't believe we use
that flag under normal circumstances).
also clean up test asserts - mock_redis is the redis object, so its
`called` property will always be false, because we never say
`redis_store()`. Rather, we should use the `mock_calls` property to
see all calls to all of its children
