Currently, the exporter exposes the same LFC metrics that are exposed by
the "autoscaling" sql_exporter in the docker image. With this, we can
remove the dedicated sql_exporter instance. (Actually doing the removal
is left as a TODO until this is rolled out to production and we have
changed autoscaling-agent to fetch the metrics from this new endpoint.)
The exporter runs as a Postgres background worker process. This is
extracted from the Rust communicator rewrite project, which will use the
same worker process for much more, to handle the communications with the
pageservers. For now, though, it merely handles the metrics requests.
In the future, we will add more metrics, and perhaps even APIs to
control the running Postgres instance.
The exporter listens on a Unix Domain socket within the Postgres data
directory. A Unix Domain socket is a bit unconventional, but it has some
advantages:
- Permissions are taken care of. Only processes that can access the data
directory, and therefore already have full access to the running
Postgres instance, can connect to it.
- No need to allocate and manage a new port number for the listener
It has some downsides too: it's not immediately accessible from the
outside world, and the functions to work with Unix Domain sockets are
more low-level than TCP sockets (see the symlink hack in
`postgres_metrics_client.rs`, for example).
To expose the metrics from the local Unix Domain Socket to the
autoscaling agent, introduce a new '/autoscaling_metrics' endpoint in
the compute_ctl's HTTP server. Currently it merely forwards the request
to the Postgres instance, but we could add rate limiting and access
control there in the future.

## Problem
We switched `h2` from 4.1.0 to a git commit to fix stubgen (in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10491). `h2` 4.2.0 was
released soon after that, so we can switch back to a pinned version.
Expected no changes, as 4.2.0 is the right next commit after the commit
we currently use:
dacd614fed%5E
## Summary of changes
- Bump `h2` to 4.2.0
## Problem
`TYPE_CHECKING` is used inconsistently across Python tests.
## Summary of changes
- Update `ruff`: 0.7.0 -> 0.11.2
- Enable TC (flake8-type-checking):
https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/rules/#flake8-type-checking-tc
- (auto)fix all new issues
## Problem
Python's `jsonnet` 0.20.0 doesn't support Python 3.13, so we have a
couple of tests xfailed because of that.
## Summary of changes
- Bump `jsonnet` to `0.21.0rc2` which supports Python 3.13
- Unxfail `test_sql_exporter_metrics_e2e` and
`test_sql_exporter_metrics_smoke` on Python 3.13
## Problem
There are a bunch of minor improvements that are too small and
insignificant as is, so collecting them in one PR.
## Summary of changes
- Add runner arch to artifact name to make it easier to distinguish
files on S3
([ref](https://neondb.slack.com/archives/C059ZC138NR/p1739365938371149))
- Use `github.event.pull_request.number` instead of parsing
`$GITHUB_EVENT_PATH` file
- Update Allure CLI and `allure-pytest`
## Problem
Sometimes, a regression test run gets stuck (taking more than 60
minutes) and is killed by GitHub's `timeout-minutes` without leaving any
traces in the test results database.
I find no correlation between this and either the build type, the
architecture, or the Postgres version.
See: https://neonprod.grafana.net/goto/nM7ih7cHR?orgId=1
## Summary of changes
- Bump `pytest-timeout` to the version that supports `--session-timeout`
- Set `--session-timeout` to (timeout-minutes - 10 minutes) * 60 seconds
in Attempt to stop tests gracefully to generate test reports until they
are forcibly stopped by the stricter `timeout-minutes` limit.
## Problem
It's impossible to run regression tests with Python 3.13 as some
dependencies don't support it (some of them are outdated, and `jsonnet`
doesn't support it at all yet)
## Summary of changes
- Update dependencies for Python 3.13
- Install `jsonnet` only on Python < 3.13 and skip relevant tests on
Python 3.13
Closes#10237
## Problem
Currently, we rerun only known flaky tests. This approach was chosen to
reduce the number of tests that go unnoticed (by forcing people to take
a look at failed tests and rerun the job manually), but it has some
drawbacks:
- In PRs, people tend to push new changes without checking failed tests
(that's ok)
- In the main, tests are just restarted without checking
(understandable)
- Parametrised tests become flaky one by one, i.e. if `test[1]` is flaky
`, test[2]` is not marked as flaky automatically (which may or may not
be the case).
I suggest rerunning all failed tests to increase the stability of GitHub
jobs and using the Grafana Dashboard with flaky tests for deeper
analysis.
## Summary of changes
- Rerun all failed tests twice at max
## Problem
We use a pretty old version of `mypy` 1.3 (released 1.5 years ago), it
produces false positives for `typing.Self`.
## Summary of changes
- Bump `mypy` from 1.3 to 1.13
- Fix new warnings and errors
- Use `typing.Self` whenever we `return self`
## Problem
On Debian 12 (Bookworm), Python 3.11 is the latest available version.
## Summary of changes
- Update Python to 3.11 in build-tools
- Fix ruff check / format
- Fix mypy
- Use `StrEnum` instead of pair `str`, `Enum`
- Update docs
python based regression test setup for auth_broker. This uses a http
mock for cplane as well as the JWKs url.
complications:
1. We cannot just use local_proxy binary, as that requires the
pg_session_jwt extension which we don't have available in the current
test suite
2. We cannot use just any old http mock for local_proxy, as auth_broker
requires http2 to local_proxy
as such, I used the h2 library to implement an echo server - copied from
the examples in the h2 docs.
## Problem
```
Warning: The file chosen for install of requests 2.32.0 (requests-2.32.0-py3-none-any.whl) is yanked. Reason for being yanked: Yanked due to conflicts with CVE-2024-35195 mitigation
```
## Summary of changes
- Update `requests` to fix the warning
- Update `psycopg2-binary`
## Problem
We need to test the logical replication with some external consumers.
## Summary of changes
A test of the logical replication with Debezium as a consumer was added.

We don't use it for packaging, and 'poetry install' will soon error
otherwise. Also remove name and version fields as these are not required for
non-packaging mode.
## Problem
We need to test logical replication with 3rd-party tools regularly.
## Summary of changes
Added a test using ClickHouse as a client

## Problem
We want to regularly verify the performance of pgvector HNSW parallel
index builds and parallel similarity search using HNSW indexes.
The first release that considerably improved the index-build parallelism
was pgvector 0.7.0 and we want to make sure that we do not regress by
our neon compute VM settings (swap, memory over commit, pg conf etc.)
## Summary of changes
Prepare a Neon project with 1 million openAI vector embeddings (vector
size 1536).
Run HNSW indexing operations in the regression test for the various
distance metrics.
Run similarity queries using pgbench with 100 concurrent clients.
I have also added the relevant metrics to the grafana dashboards pgbench
and olape

## Problem
We have no regression tests for websocket flow
## Summary of changes
Add a hacky implementation of the postgres protocol over websockets just
to verify the protocol behaviour does not regress over time.
## Problem
A set of small changes that are too small to open a separate for each.
A notable change is adding `pytest-repeat` plugin, which can help to
ensure that a flaky test is fixed by running such a test several times.
## Summary of changes
- Update Allure from 2.24.0 to 2.27.0
- Update Ruff from 0.1.11 to 0.2.2 (update `[tool.ruff]` section of
`pyproject.toml` for it)
- Install pytest-repeat plugin
## Problem
Proxy already supported HTTP2, but I expect no one is using it because
we don't advertise it in the TLS handshake.
## Summary of changes
#6335 without the websocket changes.
## Problem
`black` is slow sometimes, we can replace it with `ruff format` (a new
feature in 0.1.2 [0]), which produces pretty similar to black style [1].
On my local machine (MacBook M1 Pro 16GB):
```
# `black` on main
$ hyperfine "BLACK_CACHE_DIR=/dev/null poetry run black ."
Benchmark 1: BLACK_CACHE_DIR=/dev/null poetry run black .
Time (mean ± σ): 3.131 s ± 0.090 s [User: 5.194 s, System: 0.859 s]
Range (min … max): 3.047 s … 3.354 s 10 runs
```
```
# `ruff format` on the current PR
$ hyperfine "RUFF_NO_CACHE=true poetry run ruff format"
Benchmark 1: RUFF_NO_CACHE=true poetry run ruff format
Time (mean ± σ): 300.7 ms ± 50.2 ms [User: 259.5 ms, System: 76.1 ms]
Range (min … max): 267.5 ms … 420.2 ms 10 runs
```
## Summary of changes
- Replace `black` with `ruff format` everywhere

- [1] https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/formatter/#black-compatibility
## Problem
The version of pytest we were using emits a number of
DeprecationWarnings on latest python: these are fixed in latest release.
boto3 and python-dateutil also have deprecation warnings, but
unfortunately these aren't fixed upstream yet.
## Summary of changes
- Update pytest
- Update boto3 (this doesn't fix deprecation warnings, but by the time I
figured that out I had already done the update, and it's good hygiene
anyway)
## Problem
While investigating https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/5854, we
hypothesised that logs/repo-dir from the initial failure might leak into
reruns. Use different directories for each run to avoid such a
possibility.
## Summary of changes
- make each test rerun use different directories
- update `pytest-rerunfailure` plugin from 11.1.2 to 13.0
## Problem
- Because we compress artifacts file by file, we don't need to put them
into `tar` containers (ie instead of `tar.gz` we can use just `gz`).
- Pythons gz single-threaded and pretty slow.
A benchmark has shown ~20 times speedup (19.876176291 vs
0.8748335830000009) on my laptop (for a pageserver.log size is 1.3M)
## Summary of changes
- Replace tarfile with zstandart
- Update allure to 2.24.0
