## Problem The `pagebench` benchmarks set up an initial dataset by creating a template tenant, copying the remote storage to a bunch of new tenants, and attaching them to Pageservers. In #11420, we found that `test_pageserver_characterize_throughput_with_n_tenants` had degraded performance because it set a custom tenant config in Pageservers that was then replaced with the default tenant config by the storage controller. The initial fix was to register the tenants directly in the storage controller, but this created the tenants with generation 1. This broke `test_basebackup_with_high_slru_count`, where the template tenant was at generation 2, leading to all layer files at generation 2 being ignored. Resolves #11485. Touches #11381. ## Summary of changes This patch addresses both test issues by modifying `attach_hook` to also take a custom tenant config. This allows attaching tenants to Pageservers from pre-existing remote storage, specifying both the generation and tenant config when registering them in the storage controller.
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.
