## Problem Basebackup cache is on the hot path of compute startup and is generated on every request (may be slow). - Issue: https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/29353 ## Summary of changes - Add `BasebackupCache` which stores basebackups on local disk. - Basebackup prepare requests are triggered by `XLOG_CHECKPOINT_SHUTDOWN` records in the log. - Limit the size of the cache by number of entries. - Add `basebackup_cache_enabled` feature flag to TenantConfig. - Write tests for the cache ## Not implemented yet - Limit the size of the cache by total size in bytes --------- Co-authored-by: Aleksandr Sarantsev <aleksandr@neon.tech>
Local Development Control Plane (neon_local)
This crate contains tools to start a Neon development environment locally. This utility can be used with the cargo neon command. This is a convenience to invoke
the neon_local binary.
Note: this is a dev/test tool -- a minimal control plane suitable for testing code changes locally, but not suitable for running production systems.
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.
