-# Supporting custom user Extensions
-
-Created 2023-05-03
-
-## Motivation
-
-There are many extensions in the PostgreSQL ecosystem, and not all extensions
-are of a quality that we can confidently support them. Additionally, our
-current extension inclusion mechanism has several problems because we build all
-extensions into the primary Compute image: We build the extensions every time
-we build the compute image regardless of whether we actually need to rebuild
-the image, and the inclusion of these extensions in the image adds a hard
-dependency on all supported extensions - thus increasing the image size, and
-with it the time it takes to download that image - increasing first start
-latency.
-
-This RFC proposes a dynamic loading mechanism that solves most of these
-problems.
-
-## Summary
-
-`compute_ctl` is made responsible for loading extensions on-demand into
-the container's file system for dynamically loaded extensions, and will also
-make sure that the extensions in `shared_preload_libraries` are downloaded
-before the compute node starts.
-
-## Components
-
-compute_ctl, PostgreSQL, neon (extension), Compute Host Node, Extension Store
-
-## Requirements
-
-Compute nodes with no extra extensions should not be negatively impacted by
-the existence of support for many extensions.
-
-Installing an extension into PostgreSQL should be easy.
-
-Non-preloaded extensions shouldn't impact startup latency.
-
-Uninstalled extensions shouldn't impact query latency.
-
-A small latency penalty for dynamically loaded extensions is acceptable in
-the first seconds of compute startup, but not in steady-state operations.
-
-## Proposed implementation
-
-### On-demand, JIT-loading of extensions
-
-TLDR; we download extensions as soon as we need them, or when we have spare
-time.
-
-That means, we first download the extensions required to start the PostMaster
-(`shared_preload_libraries` and their dependencies), then the libraries required
-before a backend can start processing user input (`preload_libraries` and
-dependencies), and then (with network limits applied) the remainder of the
-configured extensions, with prioritization for installed extensions.
-
-If PostgreSQL tries to load a library that is not yet fully on disk, it will
-ask `compute_ctl` first if the extension has been downloaded yet, and will wait
-for `compute_ctl` to finish downloading that extension. `compute_ctl` will
-prioritize downloading that extension over other extensions that were not yet
-requested.

-
-#### Summary
-
-Pros:
- - Startup is only as slow as it takes to load all (shared_)preload_libraries
- - Supports BYO Extension
-
-Cons:
- - O(sizeof(extensions)) IO requirement for loading all extensions.
-
-### Alternative solutions
-
-1. Allow users to add their extensions to the base image
-   
-   Pros:
-    - Easy to deploy
-
-   Cons:
-    - Doesn't scale - first start size is dependent on image size;
-    - All extensions are shared across all users: It doesn't allow users to
-      bring their own restrictive-licensed extensions
-
-2. Bring Your Own compute image
-   
-   Pros:
-    - Still easy to deploy
-    - User can bring own patched version of PostgreSQL
-
-   Cons:
-    - First start latency is O(sizeof(extensions image))
-    - Warm instance pool for skipping pod schedule latency is not feasible with
-      O(n) custom images
-    - Support channels are difficult to manage
-
-3. Download all user extensions in bulk on compute start
-   
-   Pros:
-    - Easy to deploy
-    - No startup latency issues for "clean" users.
-    - Warm instance pool for skipping pod schedule latency is possible
-
-   Cons:
-    - Downloading all extensions in advance takes a lot of time, thus startup
-      latency issues
-
-4. Store user's extensions in persistent storage
-   
-   Pros:
-    - Easy to deploy
-    - No startup latency issues
-    - Warm instance pool for skipping pod schedule latency is possible
-
-   Cons:
-    - EC2 instances have only limited number of attachments shared between EBS
-      volumes, direct-attached NVMe drives, and ENIs.
-    - Compute instance migration isn't trivially solved for EBS mounts (e.g.
-      the device is unavailable whilst moving the mount between instances).
-    - EBS can only mount on one instance at a time (except the expensive IO2
-      device type).
-
-5. Store user's extensions in network drive
-   
-   Pros:
-    - Easy to deploy
-    - Few startup latency issues
-    - Warm instance pool for skipping pod schedule latency is possible
-
-   Cons:
-    - We'd need networked drives, and a lot of them, which would store many
-      duplicate extensions.
-    - **UNCHECKED:** Compute instance migration may not work nicely with
-      networked IOs
-
-
-### Idea extensions
-
-The extension store does not have to be S3 directly, but could be a Node-local
-caching service on top of S3. This would reduce the load on the network for
-popular extensions.
-
-## Extension Store implementation
-
-Extension Store in our case is a private S3 bucket.
-Extensions are stored as tarballs in the bucket. The tarball contains the extension's control file and all the files that the extension needs to run.
-
-We may also store the control file separately from the tarball to speed up the extension loading.
-
-`s3://<the-bucket>/extensions/ext-name/sha-256+1234abcd1234abcd1234abcd1234abcd/bundle.tar`
-
-where `ext-name` is an extension name and `sha-256+1234abcd1234abcd1234abcd1234abcd` is a hash of a specific extension version tarball.
-
-To ensure security, there is no direct access to the S3 bucket from compute node.
-
-Control plane forms a list of extensions available to the compute node 
-and forms a short-lived [pre-signed URL](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/ShareObjectPreSignedURL.html) 
-for each extension that is available to the compute node.
-
-so, `compute_ctl` receives spec in the following format
-
-```
-"extensions": [{
-  "meta_format": 1,
-  "extension_name": "postgis",
-  "link": "https://<the-bucket>/extensions/sha-256+1234abcd1234abcd1234abcd1234abcd/bundle.tar?AWSAccessKeyId=1234abcd1234abcd1234abcd1234abcd&Expires=1234567890&Signature=1234abcd1234abcd1234abcd1234abcd",
-  ...
-}]
-```
-
-`compute_ctl` then downloads the extension from the link and unpacks it to the right place.
-
-### How do we handle private extensions?
-
-Private and public extensions are treated equally from the Extension Store perspective.
-The only difference is that the private extensions are not listed in the user UI (managed by control plane).
-
-### How to add new extension to the Extension Store?
-
-Since we need to verify that the extension is compatible with the compute node and doesn't contain any malicious code, 
-we need to review the extension before adding it to the Extension Store.
-
-I do not expect that we will have a lot of extensions to review, so we can do it manually for now.
-
-Some admin UI may be added later to automate this process.
-
-The list of extensions available to a compute node is stored in the console database.
-
-### How is the list of available extensions managed? 
-
-We need to add new tables to the console database to store the list of available extensions, their versions and access rights.
-
-something like this:
-
-```
-CREATE TABLE extensions (
-    id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
-    name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
-    version VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
-    hash VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, // this is the path to the extension in the Extension Store
-    supported_postgres_versions integer[] NOT NULL, 
-    is_public BOOLEAN NOT NULL, // public extensions are available to all users
-    is_shared_preload BOOLEAN NOT NULL, // these extensions require postgres restart
-    is_preload BOOLEAN NOT NULL,
-    license VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
-);
-
-CREATE TABLE user_extensions (
-    user_id INTEGER NOT NULL,
-    extension_id INTEGER NOT NULL,
-    FOREIGN KEY (user_id) REFERENCES users (id),
-    FOREIGN KEY (extension_id) REFERENCES extensions (id)
-);
-```
-
-When new extension is added to the Extension Store, we add a new record to the table and set permissions.
- 
-In UI, user may select the extensions that they want to use with their compute node.
-
-NOTE: Extensions that require postgres restart will not be available until the next compute restart.
-Also, currently user cannot force postgres restart. We should add this feature later.
-
-For other extensions, we must communicate updates to `compute_ctl` and they will be downloaded in the background.
-
-### How can user update the extension?
-
-User can update the extension by selecting the new version of the extension in the UI.
-
-### Alternatives
-
-For extensions written on trusted languages we can also adopt
-`dbdev` PostgreSQL Package Manager based on `pg_tle` by Supabase.
-This will increase the amount supported extensions and decrease the amount of work required to support them.

+# Postgres user and database management
+
+(This supersedes the previous proposal that looked too complicated and desynchronization-prone)
+
+We've accumulated a bunch of problems with our approach to role and database management, namely:
+
+1. we don't allow role and database creation from Postgres, and users are complaining about that
+2. fine-grained role management is not possible both from Postgres and console
+
+Right now, we do store users and databases both in console and Postgres, and there are two main reasons for
+that:
+
+* we want to be able to authenticate users in proxy against the console without Postgres' involvement. Otherwise,
+malicious brute force attempts will wake up Postgres (expensive) and may exhaust the Postgres connections limit (deny of service).
+* it is handy when we can render console UI without waking up compute (e.g., show database list)
+
+This RFC doesn't talk about giving root access to the database, which is blocked by a secure runtime setup.
+
+## Overview
+
+* Add Postgres extension that sends an HTTP request each time transaction that modifies users/databases is about to commit.
+* Add user management API to internal console API. Also, the console should put a JWT token into the compute so that it can access management API.
+
+## Postgres behavior
+
+The default user role (@username) should have `CREATE ROLE`, `CREATE DB`, and `BYPASSRLS` privileges. We expose the Postgres port
+to the open internet, so we need to check password strength. Now console generates strong passwords, so there is no risk of having dumb passwords. With user-provided passwords, such risks exist.
+
+Since we store passwords in the console we should also send unencrypted password when role is created/changed. Hence communication with the console must be encrypted. Postgres also supports creating roles using hashes, in that case, we will not be able to get a raw password. So I can see the following options here:
+  * roles created via SQL will *not* have raw passwords in the console
+  * roles created via SQL will have raw passwords in the console, except ones that were created using hashes
+
+I'm leaning towards the second option here as it is a bit more consistent one -- if raw password storage is enabled then we store passwords in all cases where we can store them.
+
+To send data about roles and databases from Postgres to the console we can create the following Postgres extension:
+
+  * Intercept role/database changes in `ProcessUtility_hook`. Here we have access to the query statement with the raw password. The hook handler itself should not dial the console immediately and rather stash info in some hashmap for later use.
+  * When the transaction is about to commit we execute collected role modifications (all as one -- console should either accept all or reject all, and hence API shouldn't be REST-like). If the console request fails we can roll back the transaction. This way if the transaction is committed we know for sure that console has this information. We can use `XACT_EVENT_PRE_COMMIT` and `XACT_EVENT_PARALLEL_PRE_COMMIT` for that.
+  * Extension should be mindful of the fact that it is possible to create and delete roles within the transaction.
+  * We also need to track who is database owner, some coding around may be needed to get the current user when the database is created.
+
+## Console user management API
+
+The current public API has REST API for role management. We need to have some analog for the internal API (called mgmt API in the console code). But unlike public API here we want to have an atomic way to create several roles/databases (in cases when several roles were created in the same transaction). So something like that may work:
+
+```
+curl -X PATCH /api/v1/roles_and_databases -d '
+[
+    {"op":"create", "type":"role", "name": "kurt", "password":"lYgT3BlbkFJ2vBZrqv"},
+    {"op":"drop", "type":"role", "name": "trout"},
+    {"op":"alter", "type":"role", "name": "kilgore", "password":"3BlbkFJ2vB"},
+    {"op":"create", "type":"database", "name": "db2", "owner": "eliot"},
+]
+'
+```
+
+Makes sense not to error out on duplicated create/delete operations (see failure modes)
+
+## Managing users from the console
+
+Now console puts a spec file with the list of databases/roles and delta operations in all the compute pods. `compute_ctl` then picks up that file and stubbornly executes deltas and checks data in the spec file is the same as in the Postgres. This way if the user creates a role in the UI we restart compute with a new spec file and during the start databases/roles are created. So if Postgres send an HTTP call each time role is created we need to break recursion in that case. We can do that based on application_name or some GUC or user (local == no HTTP hook).
+
+Generally, we have several options when we are creating users via console:
+
+1. restart compute with a new spec file, execute local SQL command; cut recursion in the extension
+2. "push" spec files into running compute, execute local SQL command; cut recursion in the extension
+3. "push" spec files into running compute, execute local SQL command; let extension create those roles in the console
+4. avoid managing roles via spec files, send SQL commands to compute; let extension create those roles in the console
+
+The last option is the most straightforward one, but with the raw password storage opt-out, we will not have the password to establish an SQL connection. Also, we need a spec for provisioning purposes and to address potential desync (but that is quite unlikely). So I think the easiest approach would be:
+
+1. keep role management like it is now and cut the recursion in the extension when SQL is executed by compute_ctl
+2. add "push" endpoint to the compute_ctl to avoid compute restart during the `apply_config` operation -- that can be done as a follow up to avoid increasing scope too much
+
+## Failure modes
+
+* during role creation via SQL role was created in the console but the connection was dropped before Postgres got acknowledgment or some error happened after acknowledgment (out of disk space, deadlock, etc):
+
+  in that case, Postgres won't have a role that exists in the console. Compute restart will heal it (due to the spec file). Also if the console allows repeated creation/deletion user can repeat the transaction.
+
+
+# Scalability
+
+On my laptop, I can create 4200 roles per second. That corresponds to 363 million roles per day. Since each role creation ends up in the console database we can add some limit to the number of roles (could be reasonably big to not run into it often -- like 1k or 10k).

+## ccls
+
+[ccls](https://github.com/MaskRay/ccls) is a c/c++ language server. It requires some setup
+to work well. There are different ways to do it but here's what works for me:
+1. Make a common parent directory for all your common neon projects. (for example, `~/src/neondatabase/`)
+2. Go to `vendor/postgres-v15`
+3. Run `make clean && ./configure`
+4. Install [bear](https://github.com/rizsotto/Bear), and run `bear -- make -j4`
+5. Copy the generated `compile_commands.json` to `~/src/neondatabase` (or equivalent)
+6. Run `touch ~/src/neondatabase/.ccls-root` this will make the `compile_commands.json` file discoverable in all subdirectories
+
+With this setup you will get decent lsp mileage inside the postgres repo, and also any postgres extensions that you put in `~/src/neondatabase/`, like `pg_embedding`, or inside `~/src/neondatabase/neon/pgxn` as well.
