Tristan Partin b6f972ed83 Increase the extension server request timeout to 1 minute (#10800)
pg_search is 46ish MB. All other remote extensions are around hundeds of
KB. 3 seconds is not long enough to download the tarball if the S3
gateway cache doesn't already contain a copy. According to our setup,
the cache is limited to 10 GB in size and anything that has not been
accessed for an hour is purged.

This is really bad for scaling to 0, even more so if you're the only
project actively using the extension in a production Kubernetes cluster.

neon extension consists of several parts:

shared preload library neon.so

  • implements storage manager API and network communications with remote page server.

  • walproposer: implements broadcast protocol between postgres and WAL safekeepers.

  • control plane connector: Captures updates to roles/databases using ProcessUtility_hook and sends them to the control ProcessUtility_hook.

  • remote extension server: Request compute_ctl to download extension files.

  • file_cache: Local file cache is used to temporary store relations pages in local file system for better performance.

  • relsize_cache: Relation size cache for better neon performance.

SQL functions in neon--*.sql

Utility functions to expose neon specific information to user and metrics collection. This extension is created in all databases in the cluster by default.
