## Problem Part of the legacy (but current) compaction algorithm is to find a stack of overlapping delta layers which will be turned into an image layer. This operation is exponential in terms of the number of matching layers and we do it roughly every 20 seconds. ## Summary of changes Only check if a new image layer is required if we've ingested a certain amount of WAL since the last check. The amount of wal is expressed in terms of multiples of checkpoint distance, with the intuition being that that there's little point doing the check if we only have two new L1 layers (not enough to create a new image).
Control Plane and Neon Local
This crate contains tools to start a Neon development environment locally. This utility can be used with the cargo neon command.
Example: Start with Postgres 16
To create and start a local development environment with Postgres 16, you will need to provide --pg-version flag to 3 of the start-up commands.
cargo neon init --pg-version 16
cargo neon start
cargo neon tenant create --set-default --pg-version 16
cargo neon endpoint create main --pg-version 16
cargo neon endpoint start main
Example: Create Test User and Database
By default, cargo neon starts an endpoint with cloud_admin and postgres database. If you want to have a role and a database similar to what we have on the cloud service, you can do it with the following commands when starting an endpoint.
cargo neon endpoint create main --pg-version 16 --update-catalog true
cargo neon endpoint start main --create-test-user true
The first command creates neon_superuser and necessary roles. The second command creates test user and neondb database. You will see a connection string that connects you to the test user after running the second command.
