## Problem Storage controller was observed to have unexpectedly large memory consumption when loaded with many thousands of shards. This was recently fixed: - https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7493 ...but we need a general test that the controller is well behaved with thousands of shards. Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7460 Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7463 ## Summary of changes - Add test test_storage_controller_many_tenants to exercise the system's behaviour with a more substantial workload. This test measures memory consumption and reproduces #7460 before the other changes in this PR. - Tweak reconcile_all's return value to make it nonzero if it spawns no reconcilers, but _would_ have spawned some reconcilers if they weren't blocked by the reconcile concurrency limit. This makes the test's reconcile_until_idle behave as expected (i.e. not complete until the system is nice and calm). - Fix an issue where tenant migrations would leave a spurious secondary location when migrated to some location that was not already their secondary (this was an existing low-impact bug that tripped up the test's consistency checks). On the test with 8000 shards, the resident memory per shard is about 20KiB. This is not really per-shard memory: the primary source of memory growth is the number of concurrent network/db clients we create. With 8000 shards, the test takes 125s to run on my workstation.
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.
