## Problem
There are some places in the code where we create `reqwest::Client`
without providing SSL CA certs from `ssl_ca_file`. These will break
after we enable TLS everywhere.
- Part of https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/22686
## Summary of changes
- Support `ssl_ca_file` in storage scrubber.
- Add `use_https_safekeeper_api` option to safekeeper to use https for
peer requests.
- Propagate SSL CA certs to storage_controller/client, storcon's
ComputeHook, PeerClient and maybe_forward.
Adds a test `test_storcon_create_delete_sk_down` which tests the
reconciler and pending op persistence if faced with a temporary
safekeeper downtime during timeline creation or deletion. This is in
contrast to `test_explicit_timeline_creation_storcon`, which tests the
happy path.
We also do some fixes:
* timeline and tenant deletion http requests didn't expect a body, but
`()` sent one.
* we got the tenant deletion http request's return type wrong: it's
supposed to be a hash map
* we add some logging to improve observability
* We fix `list_pending_ops` which had broken code meant to make it
possible to restrict oneself to a single pageserver. But diesel doesn't
support that sadly, or at least I couldn't figure out a way to make it
work. We don't need that functionality, so remove it.
* We add an info span to the heartbeater futures with the node id, so
that there is no context-free msgs like "Backoff: waiting 1.1 seconds
before processing with the task" in the storcon logs. we could also add
the full base url of the node but don't do it as most other log lines
contain that information already, and if we do duplication it should at
least not be verbose. One can always find out the base url from the node
id.

The leadership transfer protocol between storage controller instances is
as follows, listing the steps for the new pod:
The new pod does these things:
1. new pod comes online. looks in database if there is a leader. if
there is, it asks that leader to step down.
2. the new pod does some operations to come online. they should be
fairly short timed, but it's not zero.
3. the new pod updates the leader entry in the database.
The old pod, once it gets the step down request, changes its internal
state to stepped down. It treats all incoming requests specially now:
instead of processing, it wants to forward them to the new pod. The
forwarding however only works if the new pod is online already, so
before forwarding it reads from the db for a leader (also to get the
address to forward to in the first place).
If the new pod is not online yet, i.e. during step 2 above, the old pod
might legitimately land in the branch which this patch is editing: the
leader in the database is a stepped down instance.
Before, we've returned a `ApiError::InternalServerError`, but that would
print the full backtrace plus an error log. With this patch, we cut down
on the noise, as it's an expected situation to have a short storcon
downtime while we are cutting over to the new instance. A
`ResourceUnavailable` error is not just more fitting, it also doesn't
print a backtrace once encountered, and only prints on the INFO log
level (see `api_error_handler` function).
Fixes#11320
cc #8954
## Problem
Previously, if the observed state was refreshed and matching the intent,
we wouldn't send
a compute notification. This is unsafe. There's no guarantee that the
location landed on the
pageserver _and_ a compute notification for it was delivered.
See
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11291#issuecomment-2743205411
for one such example.
## Summary of changes
Add a reproducer and notify the compute if the correct observed state
required a refresh.
Closes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11291
We keep the practice of keeping the compiler up to date, pointing to the
latest release. This is done by many other projects in the Rust
ecosystem as well.
[Announcement blog
post](https://blog.rust-lang.org/2025/04/03/Rust-1.86.0.html).
Prior update was in #10914.
Right now we start safekeeper node ids at 0. However, other code treats
0 as invalid (see #11407). We decided on latter. Therefore, make the
register python tests register safekeepers starting at node id 1 instead
of 0, and forbid safekeepers with id 0 from registering.

## Problem
In #11122, we changed the autosplit behavior to allow repeated and
initial splits. The defaults were set such that they retain the current
production settings (8 shards at 64 GB). However, these defaults don't
really make sense by themselves.
Once we deploy new settings to production, we should change the defaults
to something more reasonable.
## Summary of changes
Changes the following default settings:
* `max_split_shards`: 8 → 16
* `initial_split_threshold`: 64 GB → disabled
* `initial_split_shards`: 8 → 2
## Problem
Followup to https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10913
Existing chaos injection just does simple cutovers to secondary
locations. Let's also exercise code for doing graceful migrations. This
should implicitly test how such migrations cope with overlapping with
service restarts.
## Summary of changes
This PR contains a bunch of smaller followups and fixes of the original
PR #11058. most of these implement suggestions from Arseny:
* remove `Queryable, Selectable` from `TimelinePersistence`: they are
not needed.
* no `Arc` around `CancellationToken`: it itself is an arc wrapper
* only schedule deletes instead of scheduling excludes and deletes
* persist and delete deletion ops
* delete rows in timelines table upon tenant and timeline deletion
* set `deleted_at` for timelines we are deleting before we start any
reconciles: this flag will help us later to recognize half-executed
deletions, or when we crashed before we could remove the timeline row
but after we removed the last pending op (handling these situations are
left for later).
Part of #9011
## Problem
While working on bulk import, I want to use the `control-plane-url` flag
for a different request.
Currently, the local compute hook is used whenever no control plane is
specified in the config.
My test requires local compute notifications and a configured
`control-plane-url` which isn't supported.
## Summary of changes
Add a `use-local-compute-notifications` flag. When this is set, we use
the local flow regardless of other config values.
It's enabled by default in neon_local and disabled by default in all
other envs. I had to turn the flag off in tests
that wish to bypass the local flow, but that's expected.

## Problem
- We need to support multiple SSL CA certificates for graceful root CA
certificate rotation.
- Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/25971
## Summary of changes
- Parses `ssl_ca_file` as a pem bundle, which may contain multiple
certificates. Single pem cert is a valid pem bundle, so the change is
backward compatible.
## Problem
- Part of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11113
- Building a new `reqwest::Client` for every request is expensive
because it parses CA certs under the hood. It's noticeable in storcon's
flamegraph.
## Summary of changes
- Reuse one `reqwest::Client` for all API calls to avoid parsing CA
certificates every time.
## Problem
Issue https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11254 describes a case
where restart during a shard split can result in a bad end state in the
database.
## Summary of changes
- Add a reproducer for the issue
- Tighten an existing safety check around updated row counts in
complete_shard_split
## Problem
SSL certs are loaded only during start up. It doesn't allow the rotation
of short-lived certificates without server restart.
- Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/25525
## Summary of changes
- Implement `ReloadingCertificateResolver` which reloads certificates
from disk periodically.
## Problem
Currently, we only split tenants into 8 shards once, at the 64 GB split
threshold. For very large tenants, we need to keep splitting to avoid
huge shards. And we also want to eagerly split at a lower threshold to
improve throughput during initial ingestion.
See
https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/22532#issuecomment-2706215907
for details.
Touches https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/22532.
Requires #11157.
## Summary of changes
This adds parameters and logic to enable repeated splits when a tenant's
largest timeline divided by shard count exceeds `split_threshold`, as
well as eager initial splits at a lower threshold to speed up initial
ingestion. The default parameters are all set such that they retain the
current behavior in production (only split into 8 shards once, at 64
GB).
* `split_threshold` now specifies a maximum shard size. When a shard
exceeds it, all tenant shards are split by powers of 2 such that all
tenant shards fall below `split_threshold`. Disabled by default, like
today.
* Add `max_split_shards` to specify a max shard count for autosplits.
Defaults to 8 to retain current behavior.
* Add `initial_split_threshold` and `initial_split_shards` to specify a
threshold and target count for eager splits of unsharded tenants.
Defaults to 64 GB and 8 shards to retain current production behavior.
Because this PR sets `initial_split_threshold` to 64 GB by default, it
has the effect of enabling autosplits by default. This was not the case
previously, since `split_threshold` defaults to None, but it is already
enabled across production and staging. This is temporary until we
complete the production rollout.
For more details, see code comments.
This must wait until #11157 has been deployed to Pageservers.
Once this has been deployed to production, we plan to change the
parameters to:
* `split-threshold`: 256 GB
* `initial-split-threshold`: 16 GB
* `initial-split-shards`: 4
* `max-split-shards`: 16
The final split points will thus be:
* Start: 1 shard
* 16 GB: 4 shards
* 1 TB: 8 shards
* 2 TB: 16 shards
We will then change the default settings to be disabled by default.

If a tenant gets deleted, delete also all of its timelines. We assume
that by the time a tenant is being deleted, no new timelines are being
created, so we don't need to worry about races with creation in this
situation.
Unlike #11233, which was very simple because it listed the timelines and
invoked timeline deletion, this PR obtains a list of safekeepers to
invoke the tenant deletion on, and then invokes tenant deletion on each
safekeeper that has one or multiple timelines.
Alternative to #11233
Builds on #11288
Part of #9011
## Problem
Pageservers use unencrypted HTTP requests for storage controller API.
- Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/25524
## Summary of changes
- Replace hyper0::server::Server with http_utils::server::Server in
storage controller.
- Add HTTPS handler for storage controller API.
- Support `ssl_ca_file` in pageserver.
There is no functional change here. We move safekeeper related code from
`service.rs` to `service/safekeeper_service.rs`, so that safekeeper
related stuff is contained in a single file. This also helps with
preventing `service.rs` from growing even further.
Part of #9011.
PRs #10891 and #10902 have time-bounded the safekeeper heartbeating of
the storage controller. Those timeouts were not meant to be permanent,
but temporary until we figured out the reasons for the safekeeper
heartbeating causing problems.
Now they are better understood and resolved. A comment is
[here](https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/24396#issuecomment-2679342929),
but most importantly, we've had:
* #10954 to send heartbeats concurrently (before the issue was we sent
them sequentially, so the total time time was number of nodes times time
for timeout to be hit, now the total time is the maximum of all things
we are heartbeating)
* work to actually make heartbeats work and not error, i.e. JWT rollout
for storcon, not sending heartbeats to decomissioned safekeepers,
removal of decomissioned safekeepers from the databases
Part of https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/25473
Adds a basic test that makes the storcon issue explicit creation of a
timeline on safeekepers (main storcon PR in #11058). It was adapted from
`test_explicit_timeline_creation` from #11002.
Also, do a bunch of fixes needed to get the test work (the API
definitions weren't correct), and log more stuff when we can't create a
new timeline due to no safekeepers being active.

## Problem
There is a rare race between controller graceful deployment and shard
splitting where we may incorrectly both abort _and_ complete the split
(on different pods), and thereby leave no shards at all in the database.
Related: #11254
## Summary of changes
- In complete_shard_split, refuse to delete anything if child shards are
not found
# Refs
- fixes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11228
# Problem High-Level
When storcon validates whether a `ScheduleOptimizationAction` should be
applied, it retrieves the `tenant_secondary_status` to determine whether
a secondary is ready for the optimization.
When collecting results, it associates secondary statuses with the wrong
optimization actions in the batch of optimizations that we're
validating.
The result is that we make the decision for shard/location X based on
the SecondaryStatus of a random secondary location Y in the current
batch of optimizations.
A possible symptom is an early cutover, as seen in this engineering
investigation here:
- https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/25734
# Problem Code-Level
This code here in `optimize_all_validate`
97e2e27f68/storage_controller/src/service.rs (L7012-L7029)
zips the `want_secondary_status` with the Vec returned from
`tenant_for_shards_api` .
However, the Vec returned from `want_secondary_status` is not ordered
(it uses FuturesUnordered internally).
# Solution
Sort the Vec in input order before returning it.
`optimize_all_validate` was the only caller affected by this problem
While at it, also future-proof similar-looking function
`tenant_for_shards`.
None of its callers care about the order, but this type of function
signature is easy to use incorrectly.
# Future Work
Avoid the additional iteration, map, and allocation.
Change API to leverage AsyncFn (async closure).
And/or invert `tenant_for_shards_api` into a Future ext trait / iterator
adaptor thing.
Adds API definitions for the safekeeper API endpoints `exclude_timeline`
and `term_bump`. Also does a bugfix to return the correct type from
`delete_timeline`.
Part of #8614
## Problem
Autosplits always request `DEFAULT_STRIPE_SIZE` for splits. However,
splits do not allow changing the stripe size of already-sharded tenants,
and will error out if it differs.
In #11168, we are changing the stripe size, which could hit this when
attempting to autosplit already sharded tenants.
Touches #11168.
## Summary of changes
Pass `new_stripe_size: None` when autosplitting already sharded tenants.
Otherwise, pass `DEFAULT_STRIPE_SIZE` instead of the shard identity's
stripe size, since we want to use the current default rather than an
old, persisted default.
## Problem
When a node becomes active, we query its locations and update the
observed state in-place.
This can race with the observed state updates done when processing
reconcile results.
## Summary of changes
The argument for this reconciliation step is that is reduces the need
for background reconciliations.
I don't think is actually true anymore. There's two cases.
1. Restart of node after drain. Usually the node does not go through the
offline state here, so observed locations
were not marked as none. In any case, there should be a handful of
shards max on the node since we've just drained it.
2. Node comes back online after failure or network partition. When the
node is marked offline, we reschedule everything away from it. When it
later becomes active, the previous observed location is extraneous and
requires a reconciliation anyway.
Closes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11148
## Problem
When the storage controller and Pageserver loads tenants from persisted
storage, it uses `ShardIdentity::unsharded()` for unsharded tenants.
However, this replaces the persisted stripe size of unsharded tenants
with the default stripe size.
This doesn't really matter for practical purposes, since the stripe size
is meaningless for unsharded tenants anyway, but can cause consistency
check failures if the persisted stripe size differs from the default.
This was seen in #11168, where we change the default stripe size.
Touches #11168.
## Summary of changes
Carry over the persisted stripe size from `TenantShardPersistence` for
unsharded tenants, and from `LocationConf` on Pageservers.
Also add bounds checks for type casts when loading persisted shard
metadata.
This PR extends the storcon with basic safekeeper management of
timelines, mainly timeline creation and deletion. We want to make the
storcon manage safekeepers in the future. Timeline creation is
controlled by the `--timelines-onto-safekeepers` flag.
1. it adds the `timelines` and `safekeeper_timeline_pending_ops` tables
to the storcon db
2. extend code for the timeline creation and deletion
4. it adds per-safekeeper reconciler tasks
TODO:
* maybe not immediately schedule reconciliations for deletions but have
a prior manual step
* tenant deletions
* add exclude API definitions (probably separate PR)
* how to choose safekeeper to do exclude on vs deletion? this can be a
bit hairy because the safekeeper might go offline in the meantime.
* error/failure case handling
* tests (cc test_explicit_timeline_creation from #11002)
* single safekeeper mode: we often only have one SK (in tests for
example)
* `notify-safekeepers` hook:
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11163
TODOs implemented:
* cancellations of enqueued reconciliations on a per-timeline basis,
helpful if there is an ongoing deletion
* implement pending ops overwrite behavior
* load pending operations from db

## Problem

## Problem
Storage controller uses http for requests to safekeeper management API.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/24835
## Summary of changes
- Add `use_https_safekeeper_api` option to storcon to use https api
- Use https for requests to safekeeper management API if this option is
enabled
- Add `ssl_ca_file` option to storcon for ability to specify custom root
CA certificate
## Problem
The current migration API does a live migration, but if the destination
doesn't already have a secondary, that live migration is unlikely to be
able to warm up a tenant properly within its timeout (full warmup of a
big tenant can take tens of minutes).
Background optimisation code knows how to do this gracefully by creating
a secondary first, but we don't currently give a human a way to trigger
that.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10540
## Summary of changes
- Add `prefererred_node` parameter to TenantShard, which is respected by
optimize_attachment
- Modify migration API to have optional prewarm=true mode, in which we
set preferred_node and call optimize_attachment, rather than directly
modifying intentstate
- Require override_scheduler=true flag if migrating somewhere that is a
less-than-optimal scheduling location (e.g. wrong AZ)
- Add `origin_node_id` to migration API so that callers can ensure
they're moving from where they think they're moving from
- Add tests for the above
The storcon_cli wrapper for this has a 'watch' mode that waits for
eventual cutover. This doesn't show the warmth of the secondary evolve
because we don't currently have an API for that in the controller, as
the passthrough API only targets attached locations, not secondaries. It
would be straightforward to add later as a dedicated endpoint for
getting secondary status, then extend the storcon_cli to consume that
and print a nice progress indicator.
## Problem
This patch makes some initial tweaks as preparation for
https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/22532, where we will be
introducing additional autosplit logic.
The plan is outlined in
https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/22532#issuecomment-2706215907.
## Summary of changes
Minor code cleanups and behavioral changes:
* Decide that we'll split based on `max_logical_size` (later possibly
`total_logical_size`).
* Fix a bug that would split the smallest candidate rather than the
largest.
* Pick the largest candidate by `max_logical_size` rather than
`resident_size`, for consistency (debatable).
* Split out `get_top_tenant_shards()` to fetch split candidates.
* Fetch candidates concurrently from all nodes.
* Make `TenantShard.get_scheduling_policy()` return a copy instead of a
reference.
We have introduced the ability to specify safekeeper JWTs for the
storage controller. It now does heartbeats. We now want to also require
the presence of those JWTs.
Let's merge this PR shortly after the release cutoff.
Part of / follow-up of
https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/24727
## Problem
Incoming requests often take the service lock, and sometimes even do
database transactions. That creates a risk that a rogue client can
starve the controller of the ability to do its primary job of
reconciling tenants to an available state.
## Summary of changes
* Use the `governor` crate to rate limit tenant requests at 10 requests
per second. This is ~10-100x lower than the worst "attack" we've seen
from a client bug. Admin APIs are not rate limited.
* Add a `storage_controller_http_request_rate_limited` histogram for
rate limited requests.
* Log a warning every 10 seconds for rate limited tenants.
The rate limiter is parametrized on TenantId, because the kinds of
client bug we're protecting against generally happen within tenant
scope, and the rates should be somewhat stable: we expect the global
rate of requests to increase as we do more work, but we do not expect
the rate of requests to one tenant to increase.

## Problem

Signed-off-by: Alex Chi Z <chi@neon.tech>
## Problem
JWT tokens aren't in place, so all SK heartbeats fail. This is
equivalent to a wait before applying the PS heartbeats and makes things
more flaky.
## Summary of Changes
Add a flag that skips loading SKs from the db on start-up and at
runtime.
## Problem
We intend for cplane to use the heatmap layer download API to warm up
timelines after unarchival. It's tricky for them to recurse in the
ancestors,
and the current implementation doesn't work well when unarchiving a
chain
of branches and warming them up.
## Summary of changes
* Add a `recurse` flag to the API. When the flag is set, the operation
recurses into the parent
timeline after the current one is done.
* Be resilient to warming up a chain of unarchived branches. Let's say
we unarchived `B` and `C` from
the `A -> B -> C` branch hierarchy. `B` got unarchived first. We
generated the unarchival heatmaps
and stash them in `A` and `B`. When `C` unarchived, it dropped it's
unarchival heatmap since `A` and `B`
already had one. If `C` needed layers from `A` and `B`, it was out of
luck. Now, when choosing whether
to keep an unarchival heatmap we look at its end LSN. If it's more
inclusive than what we currently have,
keep it.
## Problem
Storage controller will proxy GETs to pageserver-like tenant/timeline
paths through to the pageserver.
Usually GET passthroughs make sense to go to shard 0, e.g. if you want
to list timelines.
But sometimes you really want to know about a particular shard, e.g.
reading its cache state or similar.
## Summary of changes
- Accept shard IDs as well as tenant IDs in the passthrough route
- Refactor node lookup to take a shard ID and make the tenant ID case a
layer on top of that. This is one more lock take-drop during these
requests, but it's not particularly expensive and these requests
shouldn't be terribly frequent
This is not immediately used by anything, but will be there any time we
want to e.g. do a pass-through query to check the warmth of a tenant
cache on a particular shard or somesuch.
Migrates the remaining crates to edition 2024. We like to stay on the
latest edition if possible. There is no functional changes, however some
code changes had to be done to accommodate the edition's breaking
changes.
Like the previous migration PRs, this is comprised of three commits:
* the first does the edition update and makes `cargo check`/`cargo
clippy` pass. we had to update bindgen to make its output [satisfy the
requirements of edition
2024](https://doc.rust-lang.org/edition-guide/rust-2024/unsafe-extern.html)
* the second commit does a `cargo fmt` for the new style edition.
* the third commit reorders imports as a one-off change. As before, it
is entirely optional.

Updates storage components to edition 2024. We like to stay on the
latest edition if possible. There is no functional changes, however some
code changes had to be done to accommodate the edition's breaking
changes.
The PR has two commits:
* the first commit updates storage crates to edition 2024 and appeases
`cargo clippy` by changing code. i have accidentially ran the formatter
on some files that had other edits.
* the second commit performs a `cargo fmt`
I would recommend a closer review of the first commit and a less close
review of the second one (as it just runs `cargo fmt`).

## Problem
The storage controller treats durations in the tenant config as strings.
These are loaded from the db.
The pageserver maps these durations to a seconds only format and we
always get a mismatch compared
to what's in the db.
## Summary of changes
Treat durations as durations inside the storage controller and not as
strings.
Nothing changes in the cross service API's themselves or the way things
are stored in the db.
I also added some logging which I would have made the investigation a
10min job:
1. Reason for why the reconciliation was spawned
2. Location config diff between the observed and wanted states
