Bug: Investigate cause of slow issue creation times

[bhuelsman]

Describe the bug
It takes a good 5+ seconds for an issue to be created from the time of submission. Investigate causes and ways to decrease times. Including potentially changing the flow, storing the data differently, or decreasing number of photos allowed to be uploaded, maybe compressing files before they are uploaded

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Run the application (backend, mobile, get token)
2. On the app, create an issue
3. Submit the issue
4. See how long it takes for it to submit correctly

Expected behavior
We want this functionality to be lightning fast, this is the core feature of the app and if it takes too long, people won't want to use it.

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

• Device: [e.g. iPhone12]
• OS: [iOS8.1]
