## Problem
Safekeeper and pageserver metrics collection might time out. We've seen
this in both hadron and neon.
## Summary of changes
This PR moves metrics collection in PS/SK to the background so that we
will always get some metrics, despite there may be some delays. Will
leave it to the future work to reduce metrics collection time.

This PR introduces a `image_creation_timeout` to page servers so that we
can force the image creation after a certain period. This is set to 1
day on dev/staging for now, and will rollout to production 1/2 weeks
later.
Majority of the PR are boilerplate code to add the new knob. Specific
changes of the PR are:
1. During L0 compaction, check if we should force a compaction if
min(LSN) of all delta layers < force_image_creation LSN.
2. During image creation, check if we should force a compaction if the
image's LSN < force_image_creation LSN and there are newer deltas with
overlapping key ranges.
3. Also tweaked the check image creation interval to make sure we honor
image_creation_timeout.
Vlad's note: This should be a no-op. I added an extra PS config for the
large timeline
threshold to enable this.

are more failure attempts left.

## Problem
We lost capability to explicitly disable the global eviction task (for
testing).
## Summary of changes
Add an `enabled` flag to `DiskUsageEvictionTaskConfig` to indicate
whether we should run the eviction job or not.
## Problem
Some pageservers hit `max_size_entries` limit in staging with only ~25
MiB storage used by basebackup cache. The limit is too strict. It should
be safe to relax it.
- Part of https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/29353
## Summary of changes
- Increase the default `max_size_entries` from 1000 to 10000
## Problem
In our infra config, we have to split server_api_key and other fields in
two files: the former one in the sops file, and the latter one in the
normal config. It creates the situation that we might misconfigure some
regions that it only has part of the fields available, causing
storcon/pageserver refuse to start.
## Summary of changes
Allow PostHog config to have part of the fields available. Parse it
later.

## Problem
Basebackup cache now uses unbounded channel for prepare requests. In
theory it can grow large if the cache is hung and does not process the
requests.
- Part of https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/29353
## Summary of changes
- Replace an unbounded channel with a bounded one, the size is
configurable.
- Add `pageserver_basebackup_cache_prepare_queue_size` to observe the
size of the queue.
- Refactor a bit to move all metrics logic to `basebackup_cache.rs`
## Problem
Fix for https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/12324
## Summary of changes
Need `serde(default)` to allow this field not present in the config,
otherwise there will be a config deserialization error.

part of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11813
## Summary of changes
It costs $$$ to directly retrieve the feature flags from the pageserver.
Therefore, this patch adds new APIs to retrieve the spec from the
storcon and updates it via pageserver.
* Storcon retrieves the feature flag and send it to the pageservers.
* If the feature flag gets updated outside of the normal refresh loop of
the pageserver, pageserver won't fetch the flags on its own as long as
the last updated time <= refresh_period.
Signed-off-by: Alex Chi Z <chi@neon.tech>
## Problem
Part of #11813
## Summary of changes
The current interval is 30s and it costs a lot of $$$. This patch
reduced it to 600s refresh interval (which means that it takes 10min for
feature flags to propagate from UI to the pageserver). In the future we
can let storcon retrieve the feature flags and push it to pageservers.
We can consider creating a new release or we can postpone this to the
week after the next week.

## Problem
The cache was introduced as a hackathon project and the only supported
limit was the number of entries.
The basebackup entry size may vary. We need to have more control over
disk space usage to ship it to production.
- Part of https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/29353
## Summary of changes
- Store the size of entries in the cache and use it to limit
`max_total_size_bytes`
- Add the size of the cache in bytes to metrics.
## Problem
Pageservers now expose a gRPC API on a separate address and port. This
must be registered with the storage controller such that it can be
plumbed through to the compute via cplane.
Touches #11926.
## Summary of changes
This patch registers the gRPC address and port with the storage
controller:
* Add gRPC address to `nodes` database table and `NodePersistence`, with
a Diesel migration.
* Add gRPC address in `NodeMetadata`, `NodeRegisterRequest`,
`NodeDescribeResponse`, and `TenantLocateResponseShard`.
* Add gRPC address flags to `storcon_cli node-register`.
These changes are backwards-compatible, since all structs will ignore
unknown fields during deserialization.
## Problem
We support two ingest protocols on the pageserver: vanilla and
interpreted.
Interpreted has been the only protocol in use for a long time.
## Summary of changes
* Remove the ingest handling of the vanilla protocol
* Remove tenant and pageserver configuration for it
* Update all tests that tweaked the ingest protocol
## Compatibility
Backward compatibility:
* The new pageserver version can read the existing pageserver
configuration and it will ignore the unknown field.
* When the tenant config is read from the storcon db or from the
pageserver disk, the extra field will be ignored.
Forward compatiblity:
* Both the pageserver config and the tenant config map missing fields to
their default value.
I'm not aware of any tenant level override that was made for this knob.
## Problem
We want to repro an OOM situation, but large partial reads are required.
## Summary of Changes
Make the max partial read size configurable for import jobs.
## Problem
This is already the default in production and in our test suite.
## Summary of changes
Set the default proto to interpreted to reduce friction when spinning up
new regions or cells.
## Problem
Setting `max_batch_size` to anything higher than
`Timeline::MAX_GET_VECTORED_KEYS` will cause runtime error. We should
rather fail fast at startup if this is the case.
## Summary of changes
* Create `max_get_vectored_keys` as a new configuration (default to 32);
* Validate `max_batch_size` against `max_get_vectored_keys` right at
config parsing and validation.
Closes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11994
## Problem
part of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11813
## Summary of changes
* Integrate feature store with tenant structure.
* gc-compaction picks up the current strategy from the feature store.
* We only log them for now for testing purpose. They will not be used
until we have more patches to support different strategies defined in
PostHog.
* We don't support property-based evaulation for now; it will be
implemented later.
* Evaluating result of the feature flag is not cached -- it's not
efficient and cannot be used on hot path right now.
* We don't report the evaluation result back to PostHog right now.
I plan to enable it in staging once we get the patch merged.

## Problem
We want to expose the page service over gRPC, for use with the
communicator.
Requires #11995.
Touches #11728.
## Summary of changes
This patch wires up a gRPC server in the Pageserver, using Tonic. It
does not yet implement the actual page service.
* Adds `listen_grpc_addr` and `grpc_auth_type` config options (disabled
by default).
* Enables gRPC by default with `neon_local`.
* Stub implementation of `page_api.PageService`, returning unimplemented
errors.
* gRPC reflection service for use with e.g. `grpcurl`.
Subsequent PRs will implement the actual page service, including
authentication and observability.
Notably, TLS support is not yet implemented. Certificate reloading
requires us to reimplement the entire Tonic gRPC server.
## Problem
Basebackup cache is on the hot path of compute startup and is generated

## Problem
Timeline imports do not have progress checkpointing. Any time that the
tenant is shut-down, all progress is lost
and the import restarts from the beginning when the tenant is
re-attached.
## Summary of changes
This PR adds progress checkpointing.
### Preliminaries
The **unit of work** is a `ChunkProcessingJob`. Each
`ChunkProcessingJob` deals with the import for a set of key ranges. The
job split is done by using an estimation of how many pages each job will
produce.
The planning stage must be **pure**: given a fixed set of contents in
the import bucket, it will always yield the same plan. This property is
enforced by checking that the hash of the plan is identical when
resuming from a checkpoint.
The storage controller tracks the progress of each shard in the import
in the database in the form of the **latest
job** that has has completed.
### Flow
This is the high level flow for the happy path:
1. On the first run of the import task, the import task queries storcon
for the progress and sees that none is recorded.
2. Execute the preparatory stage of the import
3. Import jobs start running concurrently in a `FuturesOrdered`. Every
time the checkpointing threshold of jobs has been reached, notify the
storage controller.
4. Tenant is detached and re-attached
5. Import task starts up again and gets the latest progress checkpoint
from the storage controller in the form of a job index.
6. The plan is computed again and we check that the hash matches with
the original plan.
7. Jobs are spawned from where the previous import task left off. Note
that we will not report progress after the completion of each job, so
some jobs might run twice.

Use the current production config for batching & concurrent IO.
Remove the permutation testing for unit tests from CI.
(The pageserver unit test matrix takes ~10min for debug builds).
Drive-by-fix use of `if cfg!(test)` inside crate `pageserver_api`.
It is ineffective for early-enabling new defaults for pageserver unit
tests only.
The reason is that the `test` cfg is only set for the crate under test
but not its dependencies.
So, `cargo test -p pageserver` will build `pageserver_api` with
`cfg!(test) == false`.
Resort to checking for feature flag `testing` instead, since all our
unit tests are run with `--feature testing`.

## Problem
Splits of large tenants (several TB) can cause a huge amount of shard

## Summary of changes

## Problem
Get page batching stops when we encounter requests at different LSNs.
We are leaving batching factor on the table.
## Summary of changes
The goal is to support keys with different LSNs in a single batch and
still serve them with a single vectored get.
Important restriction: the same key at different LSNs is not supported
in one batch. Returning different key
versions is a much more intrusive change.
Firstly, the read path is changed to support "scattered" queries. This
is a conceptually simple step from
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11463. Instead of initializing
the fringe for one keyspace,
we do it for multiple at different LSNs and let the logic already
present into the fringe handle selection.
Secondly, page service code is updated to support batching at different
LSNs. Eeach request parsed from the wire determines its effective
request LSN and keeps it in mem for the batcher toinspect. The batcher
allows keys at
different LSNs in one batch as long one key is not requested at
different LSNs.
I'd suggest doing the first pass commit by commit to get a feel for the
changes.
## Results
I used the batching test from [Christian's
PR](https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11391) which increases the
change of batch breaks. Looking at the logs I think the new code is at
the max batching factor for the workload (we
only break batches due to them being oversized or because the executor
is idle).

## Problem
Part of #9114
There was a debug-mode verification mode that verifies at every
retain_lsn. However, the code was tangled within the actual history
generation itself and it's hard to reason about correctness. This patch
adds a separate post-verification of the gc-compaction result that redos
logs at every retain_lsn and every record above the GC horizon. This
ensures that all key history we produce with gc-compaction is readable,
and if there're read errors after gc-compaction, it can only be
read-path errors instead of gc-compaction bugs.
## Summary of changes
* Add gc_compaction_verification flag, default to true.
* Implement a post-verification process.

- stacked atop https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11298
- corresponding internal docs update that illustrates how this PR
removes friction: https://github.com/neondatabase/docs/pull/404
# Problem
Rejecting `pageserver.toml`s with unknown fields adds friction,
especially when using `pageserver.toml` fields as feature flags that
need to be decommissioned.
See the added paragraphs on `pageserver_api::models::ConfigToml` for
details on what kind of friction it causes.
Also read the corresponding internal docs update linked above to see a
more imperative guide for using `pageserver.toml` flags as feature
flags.
# Solution
## Ignoring unknown fields
Ignoring is the serde default behavior.
So, just remove `serde(deny_unknown_fields)` from all structs in
`pageserver_api::config::ConfigToml`
`pageserver_api::config::TenantConfigToml`.
I went through all the child fields and verified they don't use
`deny_unknown_fields` either, including those shared with
`pageserver_api::models`.
## Warning about unknown fields
We still want to warn about unknown fields to
- be informed about typos in the config template
- be reminded about feature-flag style configs that have been cleaned up
in code but not yet in config templates
We tried `serde_ignore` (cf draft #11319) but it doesn't work with
`serde(flatten)`.
The solution we arrived at is to compare the on-disk TOML with the TOML
that we produce if we serialize the `ConfigToml` again.
Any key specified in the on-disk TOML but not present in the serialized
TOML is flagged as an ignored key.
The mechanism to do it is a tiny recursive decent visitor on the
`toml_edit::DocumentMut`.
# Future Work
Invalid config _values_ in known fields will continue to fail pageserver
startup.

## Problem
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11140 introduces performance
tracing with OTEL
and a pageserver config which configures the sampling ratio of get page
requests.
Enabling a non-zero sampling ratio on a per region basis is too
aggressive and comes with perf
impact that isn't very well understood yet.
## Summary of changes
Add a `sampling_ratio` tenant level config which overrides the
pageserver level config.
Note that we do not cache the config and load it on every get page
request such that changes propagate
timely.
Note that I've had to remove the `SHARD_SELECTION` span to get this to
work. The tracing library doesn't
expose a neat way to drop a span if one realises it's not needed at
runtime.
Closes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11392
Based on https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11139
## Problem
We want to export performance traces from the pageserver in OTEL format.
End goal is to see them in Grafana.
## Summary of changes
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11139 introduces the
infrastructure required to run the otel collector alongside the
pageserver.
### Design
Requirements:
1. We'd like to avoid implementing our own performance tracing stack if
possible and use the `tracing` crate if possible.
2. Ideally, we'd like zero overhead of a sampling rate of zero and be a
be able to change the tracing config for a tenant on the fly.
3. We should leave the current span hierarchy intact. This includes
adding perf traces without modifying existing tracing.
To satisfy (3) (and (2) in part) a separate span hierarchy is used.
`RequestContext` gains an optional `perf_span` member
that's only set when the request was chosen by sampling. All perf span
related methods added to `RequestContext` are no-ops for requests that
are not sampled.
This on its own is not enough for (3), so performance spans use a
separate tracing subscriber. The `tracing` crate doesn't have great
support for this, so there's a fair amount of boilerplate to override
the subscriber at all points of the perf span lifecycle.
### Perf Impact
[Periodic
pagebench](https://neonprod.grafana.net/d/ddqtbfykfqfi8d/e904990?orgId=1&from=2025-02-08T14:15:59.362Z&to=2025-03-10T14:15:59.362Z&timezone=utc)
shows no statistically significant regression with a sample ratio of 0.
There's an annotation on the dashboard on 2025-03-06.
### Overview of changes:
1. Clean up the `RequestContext` API a bit. Namely, get rid of the
`RequestContext::extend` API and use the builder instead.
2. Add pageserver level configs for tracing: sampling ratio, otel
endpoint, etc.
3. Introduce some perf span tracking utilities and expose them via
`RequestContext`. We add a `tracing::Span` wrapper to be used for perf
spans and a `tracing::Instrumented` equivalent for it. See doc comments
for reason.
4. Set up OTEL tracing infra according to configuration. A separate
runtime is used for the collector.
5. Add perf traces to the read path.

## Problem
Previously, L0 flushes would wait for uploads, as a simple form of
backpressure. However, this prevented flush pipelining and upload
parallelism. It has since been disabled by default and replaced by L0
compaction backpressure.
Touches https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/24664.
## Summary of changes
This patch removes L0 flush upload waits, along with the
`l0_flush_wait_upload`. This can't be merged until the setting has been
removed across the fleet.
## 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
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.
The only difference between
- `pageserver_api::models::TenantConfig` and
- `pageserver::tenant::config::TenantConfOpt`
at this point is that `TenantConfOpt` serializes with
`skip_serializing_if = Option::is_none`.
That is an efficiency improvement for all the places that currently
serde `models::TenantConfig` because new serializations will no longer
write `$fieldname: null` for each field that is `None` at runtime.
This should be particularly beneficial for Storcon, which stores
JSON-serialized `models::TenantConfig` in its DB.
# Behavior Changes
This PR changes the serialization behavior: we omit `None` fields
instead of serializing `$fieldname: null`).
So it's a data format change (see section on compatibility below).
And it changes API responses from Storcon and Pageserver.
## API Response Compatibility
Storcon returns the location description.
Afaik it is passed through into
- storcon_cli output
- storcon UI in console admin UI
These outputs will no longer contain `$fieldname: null` values,
which de-bloats the output (good).
But in storcon UI, it also serves as an editor "default", which
will be eliminated after a storcon with this PR is released.
## Data Format Compatibility
Backwards compat: new software reading old serialized data will
deserialize to the same runtime value because all the field types
are exactly the same and `skip_serializing_if` does not affect
deserialization.
Forward compat: old software reading data serialized by new software
will map absence fields in the serialized form to runtime value
`Option::None`. This is serde default behavior, see this playground
to convince yourself:
https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2024&gist=f7f4e1a169959a3085b6158c022a05eb
The `serde(with="humantime_serde")` however behaves strangely:
if used on an `Option<Duration>`, it still requires the field to be
present,
unlike the serde default behavior shown in the previous paragraph.
The workaround is to set `serde(default)`.
Previously it was set on each individual field, but, we do have the
container attribute, so, set it there.
This requires deriving a `Default` impl, which, because all fields are
`Option`,
is non-magic.
See my notes here:
https://gist.github.com/problame/eddbc225a5d12617e9f2c6413e0cf799
# Future Work
We should have separate types (& crates) for
- runtime types configuration (e.g. PageServerConf::tenant_config,
AttachedLocationConf)
- `config-v1` file pageserver local disk file format
- `mgmt API`
- `pageserver.toml`
Right now they all use the same, which is convenient but makes it hard
to reason about compatibility breakage.

## Problem
This is already disabled in production, as it is replaced by L0 flush
delays. It will be removed in a later PR, once the config option is no
longer specified in production.
## Summary of changes
Disable `l0_flush_wait_upload` by default.
## Problem
`l0_flush_delay_threshold` has already been set to 30 in production for
a couple of weeks. Let's harmonize the default.
## Summary of changes
Update `DEFAULT_L0_FLUSH_DELAY_FACTOR` to 3 such that the default
`l0_flush_delay_threshold` is `3 * compaction_threshold`.
This differs from the production setting, which is hardcoded to 30 (with
`compaction_threshold` at 10), and is more appropriate for any tenants
that have custom `compaction_threshold` overrides.
## Problem
`compaction_l0_first` has already been enabled in production for a
couple of weeks.
## Summary of changes
Enable `compaction_l0_first` by default.
Also set `CompactFlags::NoYield` in `timeline_checkpoint_handler`, to
ensure explicitly requested compaction runs to completion. This endpoint
is mainly used in tests, and caused some flakiness where tests expected
compaction to complete.
## Problem
On unarchival, we update the previous heatmap with all visible layers.
When the primary generates a new heatmap it includes all those layers,
so the secondary will download them. Since they're not actually resident
on the primary (we didn't call the warm up API), they'll never be
evicted, so they remain in the heatmap.
This leads to oversized secondary locations like we saw in pre-prod.
## Summary of changes
Gate the loading of the previous heatmaps and the heatmap generation on
unarchival behind configuration
flags. They are disabled by default, but enabled in tests.
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`).

## Summary of changes
Add the auto trigger for gc-compaction. It computes two values: L1 size
and L2 size. When L1 size >= initial trigger threshold, we will trigger
an initial gc-compaction. When l1_size / l2_size >=
gc_compaction_ratio_percent, we will trigger the "tiered" gc-compaction.

## Problem
The interpreted SK <-> PS protocol does not guard against gaps (neither
does the Vanilla one, but that's beside the point).
## Summary of changes
Extend the protocol to include the start LSN of the PG WAL section from
which the records were interpreted.
Validation is enabled via a config flag on the pageserver and works as
follows:
**Case 1**: `raw_wal_start_lsn` is smaller than the requested LSN
There can't be gaps here, but we check that the shard received records
which it hasn't seen before.
**Case 2**: `raw_wal_start_lsn` is equal to the requested LSN
This is the happy case. No gap and nothing to check
**Case 3**: `raw_wal_start_lsn` is greater than the requested LSN
This is a gap.
To make Case 3 work I had to bend the protocol a bit.
We read record chunks of WAL which aren't record aligned and feed them
to the decoder.
The picture below shows a shard which subscribes at a position somewhere
within Record 2.
We already have a wal reader which is below that position so we wait to
catch up.
We read some wal in Read 1 (all of Record 1 and some of Record 2). The
new shard doesn't
need Record 1 (it has already processed it according to the starting
position), but we read
past it's starting position. When we do Read 2, we decode Record 2 and
ship it off to the shard,
but the starting position of Read 2 is greater than the starting
position the shard requested.
This looks like a gap.
To make it work, we extend the protocol to send an empty
`InterpretedWalRecords` to shards
if the WAL the records originated from ends the requested start
position. On the pageserver,
that just updates the tracking LSNs in memory (no-op really). This gives
us a workaround for
the fake gap.
As a drive by, make `InterpretedWalRecords::next_record_lsn` mandatory
in the application level definition.
It's always included.

## Problem
We've seen the previous default of 50 cause OOMs. Compacting many L0
layers at once now has limited benefit, since the cost is mostly linear
anyway. This is already being reduced to 20 in production settings.
## Summary of changes
Reduce `DEFAULT_COMPACTION_UPPER_LIMIT` to 20.
Once released, let's remove the config overrides.
