## Problem
We want to store Nightly Replication test results in the database and
notify the relevant Slack channel about failures
## Summary of changes
- Store test results in the database
- Notify `on-call-compute-staging-stream` about failures
## Problem
A bunch of small fixes and improvements for CI, that are too small to
have a separate PR for them
## Summary of changes
- CI(build-and-test): fix parenthesis
- CI(actionlint): fix path to workflow file
- CI: remove default args from actions/checkout
- CI: remove `gen3` label, using a couple `self-hosted` +
`small{,-arm64}`/`large{,-arm64}` is enough
- CI: prettify Slack messages, hide links behind text messages
- C(build-and-test): add more dependencies to `conclusion` job
## Problem
We use infrastructure as code (TF) to deploy AWS Aurora and AWS RDS
Postgres database clusters.
Whenever we have a change in TF (e.g. **every year** to upgrade to a
higher Postgres version or when we change the cluster configuration) TF
will apply the change and create a new AWS database cluster.
However our benchmarking testcase also expects databases in these
clusters and tables loaded with data.
So we add auto-detection - if the AWS RDS instances are "empty" we
create the necessary databases and restore a pg_dump.
**Important Notes:**
- These steps are NOT run in each benchmarking run, but only after a new
RDS instance has been deployed.
- the benchmarking workflows use GitHub secrets to find the connection
string for the database. These secrets still need to be (manually or
programmatically using git cli) updated if some port of the connection
string (e.g. user, password or hostname) changes.
## Summary of changes
In each benchmarking run check if
- database has already been created - if not create it
- database has already been restored - if not restore it
Supported databases
- tpch
- clickbench
- user example
Supported platforms:
- AWS RDS Postgres
- AWS Aurora serverless Postgres
Sample workflow run - but this one uses Neon database to test the
restore step and not real AWS databases
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/actions/runs/10321441086/job/28574350581
Sample workflow run - with real AWS database clusters
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/actions/runs/10346816389/job/28635997653
Verification in second run - with real AWS database clusters - that
second time the restore is skipped

## Problem
Latency from one cloud provider to another one is higher than within the
same cloud provider.
Some of our benchmarks are latency sensitive - we run a pgbench or psql
in the github action runner and the system under test is running in Neon
(database project).
For realistic perf tps and latency results we need to compare apples to
apples and run the database client in the same "latency distance" for
all tests.
## Summary of changes
Move job steps that test Neon databases deployed on Azure into Azure
action runners.
- bench strategy variant using azure database
- pgvector strategy variant using azure database
- pgbench-compare strategy variants using azure database
## Test run
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/actions/runs/10314848502
## Problem
> Currently, long-running LR tests recreate endpoints every night. We'd
like to have along-running buildup of history to exercise the pageserver
in this case (instead of "unit-testing" the same behavior everynight).
Closes#8317
## Summary of changes
- Update Postgres version for replication tests
- Set `BENCHMARK_PROJECT_ID_PUB`/`BENCHMARK_PROJECT_ID_SUB` env vars to
projects that were created for this purpose

## Problem
We don't allow regular end-users to use `k8s-pod` provisioner,
but we still use it in nightly benchmarks
## Summary of changes
- Remove `provisioner` input from `neon-create-project` action, use
`k8s-neonvm` as a default provioner
- Change `neon-` platform prefix to `neonvm-`
- Remove `neon-captest-freetier` and `neon-captest-new` as we already
have their `neonvm` counterparts
## Problem
The rds-aurora endpoint connection cannot be reached from GitHub action
runners.
Temporarily remove this DBMS from the pgbench comparison runs.
## Summary of changes
On Saturday we normally run Neon in comparison with AWS RDS-Postgres and
AWS RDS-Aurora.
Remove Aurora until we have a working setup
## Problem
My prior PR https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8422
caused leftovers in the GitHub action runner work directory with root
permission.
As an example see here
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/actions/runs/10001857641/job/27646237324#step:3:37
To work-around we install vanilla postgres as non-root using deb
packages in /home/nonroot user directory
## Summary of changes
- since we cannot use root we install the deb pkgs directly and create
symbolic links for psql, pgbench and libs in expected places
- continue jobs an aws even if azure jobs fail (because this region is
currently unreliable)
## Problem
We want to run performance tests on all supported cloud providers.
We want to run most tests on the postgres version which is default for
new projects in production, currently (July 24) this is postgres version
16
## Summary of changes
- change default postgres version for some (performance) tests to 16
(which is our default for new projects in prod anyhow)
- add azure region to pgbench_compare jobs
- add azure region to pgvector benchmarking jobs
- re-used project `weathered-snowflake-88107345` was prepared with 1
million embeddings running on 7 minCU 7 maxCU in azure region to compare
with AWS region (pgvector indexing and hnsw queries)
- see job pgbench-pgvector
- Note we now have a 11 environments combinations where we run
pgbench-compare and 5 are for k8s-pod (deprecated) which we can remove
in the future once auto-scaling team approves.
## Logs
A current run with the changes from this pull request is running here
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/actions/runs/9972096222
Note that we currently expect some failures due to
- https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8275
- instability of projects on azure region
These tests will help verify that replication, both physical and
logical, works as expected in Neon.

## Problem
Some of the Nightly benchmarks fail with the error
```
+ /tmp/neon/pg_install/v14/bin/pgbench --version
/tmp/neon/pg_install/v14/bin/pgbench: error while loading shared libraries: libpq.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
```
Originally, we added the `pgbench --version` call to check that
`pgbench` is installed and to fail earlier if it's not.
The failure happens because we don't have `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` set for
every job, and it also affects `psql` command.
We can move it to `actions/run-python-test-set` so as not to duplicate
code (as it already have `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` set).
## Summary of changes
- Remove `pgbench --version` call
- Move `psql` commands to common `actions/run-python-test-set`
## Problem
We use `build-tools` image as a base image to build other images, and it
has a pretty old `libpq-dev` installed (v13; it wasn't that old until I
removed system Postgres 14 from `build-tools` image in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/6540)
## Summary of changes
- Remove `libpq-dev` from `build-tools` image
- Set `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` for tests (for different Postgres binaries that
we use, like psql and pgbench)
- Set `PQ_LIB_DIR` to build Storage Controller
- Set `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`/`DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH` in the Storage Controller
where it calls Postgres binaries
## Problem
The cache keys that we use on CI are the same for X64 and ARM64
(`runner.arch`)
## Summary of changes
- Include `runner.arch` along with `runner.os` into cache keys
## Problem
halfvec data type was introduced in pgvector 0.7.0 and is popular
because
it allows smaller vectors, smaller indexes and potentially better
performance.
So far we have not tested halfvec in our periodic performance tests.
This PR adds halfvec indexing and halfvec queries to the test.
## Problem
We use ubuntu-latest as a default OS for running jobs. It can cause
problems due to instability, so we should use the LTS version of Ubuntu.
## Summary of changes
The image ubuntu-latest was changed with ubuntu-22.04 in workflows.

## 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
During Nightly Benchmarks, we want to collect pgbench results for
sharded tenants as well.
## Summary of changes
- Add pre-created sharded project for pgbench
## Problem
Currently, after updating `Dockerfile.build-tools` in a PR, it requires
a manual action to make it `pinned`, i.e., the default for everyone. It
also makes all opened PRs use such images (even created in the PR and
without such changes).
This PR overhauls the way we build and use `build-tools` image (and uses
the image from Docker Hub).
## Summary of changes
- The `neondatabase/build-tools` image gets tagged with the latest
commit sha for the `Dockerfile.build-tools` file
- Each PR calculates the tag for `neondatabase/build-tools`, tries to
pull it, and rebuilds the image with such tag if it doesn't exist.
- Use `neondatabase/build-tools` as a default image
- When running on `main` branch — create a `pinned` tag and push it to
ECR
- Use `concurrency` to ensure we don't build `build-tools` image for the
same commit in parallel from different PRs
## Problem
We use a bunch of deprecated actions.
See https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/actions/runs/7958569728
(Annotations section)

## Problem
To understand differences in performance between neon, aurora and rds we
want to collect explain analyze plans and pg_stat_statements for
selected benchmarking runs
## Summary of changes
Add workflow input options to collect explain and pg_stat_statements for
benchmarking workflow
Co-authored-by: BodoBolero <bodobolero@gmail.com>
## Problem
Add a CI pipeline that checks GitHub Workflows with
https://github.com/rhysd/actionlint (it uses `shellcheck` for shell
scripts in steps)
To run it locally: `SHELLCHECK_OPTS=--exclude=SC2046,SC2086 actionlint`
## Summary of changes
- Add `.github/workflows/actionlint.yml`
- Fix actionlint warnings
## Problem
- `SCALE: unbound variable` from
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/5079
- The layout of the GitHub auto-comment is broken if the code coverage
section follows flaky test section from
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/4999
## Summary of changes
- `benchmarking.yml`: Rename `SCALE` to `TEST_OLAP_SCALE`
- `comment-test-report.js`: Add an extra new-line before Code coverage
section
## Problem
It's hard to find out which DB size we use for OLAP benchmarks (TPC-H in
particular).
This PR adds handling of `TEST_OLAP_SCALE` env var, which is get added
to a test name as a parameter.
This is required for performing larger periodic benchmarks.
## Summary of changes
- Handle `TEST_OLAP_SCALE` in
`test_runner/performance/test_perf_olap.py`
- Set `TEST_OLAP_SCALE` in `.github/workflows/benchmarking.yml` to a
TPC-H scale
## Problem
In the test environment vacuum duration fluctuates from ~1h to ~5h, along
with another two 1h benchmarks (`select-only` and `simple-update`) it
could be up to 7h which is longer than 6h timeout.
## Summary of changes
- Increase timeout for pgbench-compare job to 8h
- Remove 6h timeouts from Nightly Benchmarks (this is a default value)
This PR adds tests runs on Postgres 15 and created unified Allure report
with results for all tests.
- Split `.github/actions/allure-report` into
`.github/actions/allure-report-store` and
`.github/actions/allure-report-generate`
- Add debug or release pytest parameter for all tests (depending on
`BUILD_TYPE` env variable)
- Add Postgres version as a pytest parameter for all tests (depending on
`DEFAULT_PG_VERSION` env variable)
- Fix `test_wal_restore` and `restore_from_wal.sh` to support path with
`[`/`]` in it (fixed by applying spellcheck to the script and fixing all
warnings), `restore_from_wal_archive.sh` is deleted as unused.
- All known failures on Postgres 15 marked with xfail
We have enabled prefetch by default, let's use this in Nightly
Benchmarks:
- effective_io_concurrency=100 by default (instead of 32)
- maintenance_io_concurrency=100 by default (instead of 32)
Rename `neon-captest-prefetch` to `neon-captest-new` (for pgbench with
initialisation) and `neon-captest-reuse` (for OLAP scenarios)
Do not run Nightly Benchmarks on `neon-captest-new`.
This is a temporary solution to avoid spikes in the storage we consume
during the test run. To collect data for the default instance, we could
run tests weekly (i.e. not daily).
Migrate Nightly Benchmarks from captest to staging.
- Migrate GitHub Workflows
- Replace `zenith-benchmarker` with regular runners
- Remove `environment` parameter from Neon GitHub Actions, add
`postgres_version`
- The only job left on captest is `neon-captest-reuse`, which will be
moved to staging after its project migration.
Ref https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/2836
- Replace `seqscan_prefetch_buffers` with `effective_io_concurrency` and
`maintenance_io_concurrency` for `clickbench-compare` job (see
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/2876)
- Get the database name in a runtime (it can be `main` or `neondb` or
something else)
- **Enable `enable_seqscan_prefetch` by default**
- Drop use of `seqscan_prefetch_buffers` in favor of
`[maintenance,effective]_io_concurrency`
This includes adding some fields to the HeapScan execution node, and
vacuum state.
- Cleanup some conditionals in vacuumlazy.c
- Clarify enable_seqscan_prefetch GUC description
- Fix issues in heap SeqScan prefetching where synchronize_seqscan
machinery wasn't handled properly.
Add ClickBench benchmark, an OLAP-style benchmark, to Nightly
Benchmarks.
The full run of 43 queries on the original dataset takes more than 6h
(only 34 queries got processed on in 6h) on our default-sized compute.
Having this, currently, would mean having some really unstable tests
because of our regular deployment to staging/captest environment (see
https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/1872).
I've reduced the dataset size to the first 10^7 rows from the original
10^8 rows. Now it takes ~30-40 minutes to pass.
