lightflow-engine 0.1.0 → 0.1.2

package/README.md

@@ -149,6 +149,72 @@ Kill-and-resume is a first-class path, not an edge case. The engine includes a
 **reaper** that resumes runs wedged in `running` — a failure mode we hit in
 other engines and designed out here.
 
+## Benchmarks
+
+Throughput measured with [`test/bench.ts`](test/bench.ts) — plain `node`
+against a local Postgres 16, no network hop. Run it yourself:
+
+```bash
+npm run build
+LIGHTFLOW_PG_URL=postgres://... node dist/test/bench.js
+```
+
+### v0.1.1 → v0.1.2 (replay & timer round)
+
+Where the v0.1.1 gains were per-event write cost, v0.1.2 targets replay and
+timer dispatch:
+
+- **O(1) memo lookups during replay.** The event log is indexed once into a
+  `Map` (`"type:key" → event`); memo checks were linear `Array.find` scans,
+  making replay O(steps²) on long workflows.
+- **Fixed the timer index.** The `wakeAt` index was on the *text* extraction
+  but the query compared a *bigint* cast — Postgres silently ignored it. The
+  index now matches the query expression exactly.
+- **`dueTimers` anti-join.** Returns only timers not yet completed (one query
+  instead of a full `getEvents` per due timer in the worker), so timer wake-up
+  costs 2 queries instead of 1 + full-log fetch + resume.
+- **Adaptive worker poll (50ms → configured, backs off when idle) with an
+  optional LISTEN/NOTIFY wakeup** — notifications are a lossy nudge; polling
+  remains the correctness path. Same pattern PgQue and DBOS use.
+
+Measured (400-step workflows, 50 runs):
+
+| | v0.1.1 | v0.1.2 |
+|---|---|---|
+| Steps / sec, long workflows | 8,230 | **9,070** |
+| 100-step workflow throughput | — | 65 runs/s, 6,470 steps/s |
+| Worker queries per timer wake | ~4 + full log fetch | 2 |
+| Replay memo lookup | O(n) scan | O(1) Map |
+
+### v0.1.0 → v0.1.1 (event-append round)
+
+Same machine, same workload (200 runs × 5 steps, 20 in flight):
+
+| | v0.1.0 | v0.1.1 | |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Runs / sec | 184 | 456–556 | **~2.7× faster** |
+| Steps / sec | 922 | ~2,300–2,800 | **~2.7× faster** |
+| SQL statements per event | 5 (BEGIN, advisory lock, max(seq), INSERT, COMMIT) | 1 (single INSERT … ON CONFLICT) | −80% |
+| Advisory lock in hot path | every event, 7.8ms avg | removed | — |
+| Racing resumes double-executing a step | possible (latent) | impossible (run lease) | fixed |
+
+Sustained load, v0.1.1 (500 runs × 10 steps, 100 in flight):
+**445 runs/sec, 4,450 steps/sec.**
+
+What changed in v0.1.1, and why it matters:
+
+- **Single-statement event append.** The old path took an advisory lock and
+  scanned `max(seq)` per event; profiling showed the lock averaging 7.8ms —
+  40× the cost of any other query. The new path relies on the `(run_id, seq)`
+  unique constraint and a single upsert.
+- **Run lease.** Concurrent `resume()` calls for the same run are arbitrated
+  by an atomic `claimed_until` column, so two replays can never execute the
+  same step at once (verified by `test/race.ts`: 20 racing resumes × 10 runs,
+  zero double-executions).
+- **No `step_started` writes** (replay never reads them), stream writes use
+  the in-memory replay log instead of re-fetching the event log, `createRun`
+  is one round trip, and `getRun().returnValue` polls adaptively (5ms → 250ms).
+
 ## Design decisions
 
 - **All timestamps are BIGINT epoch milliseconds.** No `timestamptz`, no

-/**
- * lightflow — a durable workflow engine, from scratch.
- *
- * Implements every primitive Entry's workflows rely on:
- *   - "use workflow"  deterministic orchestration, replayed from an event log
- *   - "use step"      at-least-once, memoized side effects
- *   - sleep(ms | Date) durable timers (survive process death)
- *   - getWritable()    ordered, resumable output stream
- *   - start() / getRun()  start, resume by id, await returnValue
- *   - FatalError       non-retryable failure
- *   - getWorkflowMetadata()  run id inside a workflow
- *
- * Design goals that fix the two defects found in world-postgres:
- *   1. All timestamps are epoch milliseconds (integer). No naive/UTC skew.
- *   2. No spec-version coupling: events are plain JSON rows with a schema
- *      version integer that the engine upgrades itself.
