docs(perf): v4.17.1 results and harness fixes (#12651)
Publishes the v4.17.1 benchmark sweep and the harness fixes the sweep uncovered. ## Results All 11 published targets ran for 30 minutes each against a fixed 7-container deployment (vCPU 6 / 6 Gi, psql v17.4, US1 client and server), at 600 VUs except where noted. Latencies are `http_req_duration` over the test phase. | target | VUs | iter/s | p50 | p95 | p99 | failed requests | |:---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|:---| | machine_pat_login | 600 | 3452 | 24.53ms | 872ms | 1.00s | 29 / 6,335,633 (0.00%) | | user_info | 600 | 3217 | 29.32ms | 943ms | 1.13s | 66 / 5,800,788 (0.00%) | | introspect | 600 | 2297 | 46.49ms | 1.16s | 1.36s | 1,400 / 4,159,863 (0.03%) | | machine_jwt_profile_grant | 600 | 1076 | 85.34ms | 2.57s | 2.93s | 97 / 1,986,156 (0.00%) | | machine_client_credentials_login | 600 | 834 | 56.78ms | 1.74s | 2.42s | 1,789 / 3,073,497 (0.05%) | | add_session | 600 | 767 | 95.25ms | 3.53s | 4.15s | 1 / 1,416,546 (0.00%) | | oidc_session | 600 | 326 | 77.47ms | 3.41s | 4.43s | 3 / 1,767,162 (0.00%) | | otp_session | 600 | 84 | 47.80ms | 13.83s | 20.22s | 182 / 466,756 (0.03%) | | password_session | 600 | 68 | 408.63ms | 20.00s | 24.05s | 1 / 253,280 (0.00%) | | human_password_login | 600 | 49 | 146.67ms | 4.08s | 1m0s | 9,227 / 683,256 (1.35%) | | manipulate_user | **200** | 19 | 304.58ms | 10.23s | 38.43s | 225 / 171,987 (0.13%) | Against the goals: - **#8352 is met.** `machine_jwt_profile_grant` reached **1076/s** against the 1000/s goal, with p50 at 85ms. - **#4424 is not met.** `human_password_login` runs at **49/s** against a 1200/s goal. The sweep ran with `improvedPerformance` enabled (`PROJECT_GRANT`, `PROJECT`, `USER_GRANT`, `ORG_DOMAIN_VERIFIED`), captured from the instance before the first target rather than assumed; the full flag set is on every page. ## What the observability rows show The containers were never the constraint. ZITADEL CPU sat at 9–50% (p50), memory at 6–7% (p50, peaking at 16%) of 6 GiB, and instance count was flat at 7 with no container startups in any window. Database CPU was at **86–98% median on nine of eleven targets**. Any "ZITADEL achieves N/s" figure that omits which resource ran out is true and misleading, so the pages say. The query breakdown then shows what the CPU numbers cannot: **advisory lock wait is the single largest category of database time across the sweep (91,857 s accumulated)**, ahead of event reads (64,805 s), event push (26,411 s) and projection reads (14,625 s). The three locks are the projection handler lock (`handler/v2/handler.go`), the eventstore read barrier (`repository/sql/query.go`) and the shared lock every push takes (`eventstore/v3/push.go`). That is what sets the `flowchart outcome` on each page, and it is not uniform: - **Scale** on the seven targets where a resource genuinely ran out — database CPU at 92–98% with 0% lock share. - **Potential issues** on `human_password_login`, `password_session`, `otp_session` and `manipulate_user`, where 45–74% of the top query time is lock wait. `password_session` runs at 51% database CPU and 50% container CPU and still only manages 68 iter/s; adding vCPU there buys nothing. Autovacuum is cleared as a contributor: 93.9% median DB CPU in buckets containing a vacuum against 93.1% without, within noise. The new v4.17 eventstore autovacuum is barely triggered — `events2` is not in the top twenty vacuumed tables. ## Harness fixes Defects found during the sweep, all of which corrupted published numbers or aborted runs: 1. **Colliding check names.** `updateHuman`, `lockUser` and `deleteUser` all registered checks as `update user is status ok`, two of them asserting `status === 201` against endpoints returning 200. k6 aggregates checks by name, so this produced a permanent, fictional 28% failure rate. Each check now has its own name and accepts 2xx. 2. **User-creation read-after-write race**, in three variants, each found after the previous fix. The read-back resolved `undefined` when the projection was behind, surfacing much later as `Cannot read property '0' of undefined`; then an unguarded `res.json()` turned every request timeout into a killed iteration; then a *partial* read — a valid user object with `loginNames` not yet projected — passed an `if (user)` guard and failed identically. `readUserAfterCreate()` now guards status and body before parsing, requires the field rather than the object, and retries with backoff, rejecting with the user id and username. 3. **Metric cardinality.** Id-bearing URLs produced 800k+ time series against k6's suggested 100k, driving k6 to 6.8 GB and an OOM mid-run. All 16 such call sites now set a grouped `name` tag. 4. **`password_session` wrote its CSV to `otp_session`'s filename** in the Makefile, silently overwriting the previous target's output. The read-back race is not only a harness defect: at 600 VUs it measures real load-induced projection lag, exceeding 25 s for login-name projection and 100 s for the user projection, against instant reads on an unloaded instance. ## Stable v2 user API Four calls in `benchmark/src/user.ts` still went to `/v2beta/users` — update, lock, delete and the machine read-back. They date from the original load-test bootstrap in April 2024 (#7635), when the user service was still v2beta, and were never moved when it was promoted; they surfaced in this diff only because the read-after-write fix rewrote the surrounding functions. All four are now on stable v2. `updateHuman` is the one that changed shape: `PUT /v2beta/users/{id}` is `UpdateHumanUser`, whose stable-v2 counterpart `PUT /v2/users/human/{id}` is deprecated in the proto, so it now calls `PATCH /v2/users/{id}` (`UpdateUser`) and `manipulate_user` nests the profile under `human`. Both RPCs land on `command.ChangeUserHuman`, so the measured work is unchanged. `lockUser`, `deleteUser` and the `createMachine` read-back move over unchanged in method and payload. No published result is affected: per-endpoint latencies come from custom Trends, and `run-bench.sh` drops the `name` system tag, so no artefact ever recorded a v2beta URL. The remaining `/management/v1` and `/admin/v1` calls are left alone — migrating those changes which API surface is benchmarked and would need a re-run. ## Timestamps Pages reported `Test start` as a bare `HH:MM`, so a run could not be correlated against monitoring the next day. Pages now carry the full UTC date and time and a `Test end` row, both derived from the first and last per-second row of `output.json`. `_template.mdx` is updated to match. ## Post-mortem `benchmark/postmortems/2026-08-27-503-burst.md` records two bursts of HTTP 503 `Service error -27` — an HTML page from the Google frontend, not a ZITADEL error — on `manipulate_user` and `human_password_login`, six hours apart. **The investigation is open**, and the note is explicit about what is established (no container startups; the two bursts have opposite server-side signatures), what is provisionally ruled out (restart, panic), and what is not yet known. It is included because both affected pages report the 503s as a separate population from the ZITADEL failures beside them, and that split needs its evidence somewhere. It also records two defects found by accident in the collected logs, unrelated to the 503s: `sql: transaction has already been committed or rolled back` (232 occurrences under load) and a missing i18n key, `"unable to get user by id" not found in language "en"`. ## Notes for review - **`manipulate_user` ran at 200 VUs, not 600, and the page says so.** Throughput saturates near 100 VUs; at 600 the same target produced 4,283 failed requests for identical throughput against 225 at 200 VUs. Its failure mode is degradation over sustained single-org churn — per-operation p50 climbs 1.7x–6x between the first and last five minutes of a run — not a concurrency threshold. - **Two `Observed errors` rows are hand-corrected** and deliberately differ from the generated text, on `manipulate_user` and `human_password_login`. Both cases are one generated number covering two unrelated failure populations; each page says it was corrected and why. - Org deletion failing with a 500 (`V3-C8l3V`) after heavy user churn is already tracked as #8510 and was hit repeatedly during cleanup. - **The run/publish tooling is no longer part of this PR.** It moved to a private repository, along with the cloud collection scripts, because deployment identity does not belong here. What remains is the published pages, the post-mortem findings and the harness fixes. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <[email protected]>

| Observed errors | 9,227 of 683,256 requests failed (1.35%). **Corrected by hand from the generated row, which reported these as one population; the status breakdown shows two with different causes and different shapes.** (1) **8,178 request timeouts (1.20%), sustained across the whole run** — not a burst: they run from 19:26 to 19:54 at a steady 125–360 per minute, with no onset and no recovery. This is ZITADEL under 600 VUs on this target and is the number to read. (2) **1,044 HTTP 503 platform errors, confined to 19:37–19:44** — `Service error -27`, an HTML page from the Google frontend rather than a ZITADEL JSON error, in the same bounded-burst shape seen on `manipulate_user` at 13:43 the same day and pending the same GCP post-mortem (see `benchmark/postmortems/2026-08-27-503-burst.md`). Plus 4x HTTP 502 and 1x connection reset, scattered singles. 9,093 of 1,007,953 checks failed (0.90%): login name status ok (8,345), authorize status ok (333), token status ok (138), password status ok (137), userinfo status ok (119), password callback (21). The failed checks track the timeouts rather than the 503 burst. |
|
||||
| Top 3 most expensive database queries | 1: Projection handler advisory lock, one per projection per instance — **lock wait, not query work** (17,902 s)<br/>2: Eventstore read barrier: advisory lock + unlock on `events2` — **lock wait** (8,920 s)<br/>3: Query events by instance_id, aggregate_types, event_types, position (paged) (3,810 s)<br/>Ranked by total accumulated execution time summed across concurrent sessions (Cloud SQL Query Insights) — not CPU time; it can exceed the wall-clock window. |
|

| Database metrics during test | CPU: 87% median, 90% peak<br/>Memory: 40%<br/>Connections: 46<br/>Transactions: 12,351/s<br/>IOPS: read 0, write 711<br/>**CPU-saturated — the bottleneck for this target.** |

|

| flowchart outcome | **Potential issues.** Not resource-bound: database CPU 87%, ZITADEL CPU 48%, yet **86% of the top-5 query time is advisory lock wait** — predominantly the projection handler lock, which serialises this workload. Additional vCPU will not help. Logged as an issue rather than blocking further scale testing. The run also contains a 1,044-request platform 503 burst (19:37-19:44) under separate investigation in `benchmark/postmortems/2026-08-27-503-burst.md`; it does not affect this verdict. |

Raising the database beyond 8 vCPU is the next step, and throughput should be re-measured against the increase. Lock share fell from 64.8% to 7.3% when `improvedPerformance` was enabled, moving this target from lock-bound to CPU-bound. |

|
||||
| Observed errors | 225 of 171,987 requests failed (0.13%). **Corrected by hand from the generated row, which reported these as a single population; they are two unrelated ones, 25 minutes apart.** (1) **150 platform errors, not ZITADEL errors**: HTTP 503 `Service error -27`, an HTML page from the Google frontend rather than a ZITADEL JSON error, confined entirely to a 55-second burst from 13:43:19 to 13:44:13 UTC, two minutes into the run, with no recurrence in the following 25 minutes. The shape is a container restart or replacement; a GCP post-mortem (restarts, panics, instance count) is pending and its findings so far are recorded in `benchmark/postmortems/2026-08-27-503-burst.md`. (2) **75 request timeouts** from 14:08:48 to 14:11:02 UTC, the documented degradation-over-sustained-churn behaviour of this target: the first arrives 1,658s (~28min) into the run and they cluster in the final minutes alongside a steady latency climb. The previous 200-VU run saw the equivalent 77 timeouts beginning at 1,255s. 127 of 137,522 checks failed (0.09%): create user (29), update user (41), lock user (25), delete user (32) — all of them within the two windows above. **The failed-check count is not comparable to the previous run's zero**: before commit `cdde3ab3e` a timeout killed the iteration before its check could be recorded (77 timeouts, 77 aborted iterations, 0 recorded check failures); with the response body now guarded, 75 timeouts aborted **0** iterations and the failures are recorded instead of being silently fatal. **This target ran at 200 VUs, not the 600 used for every other target**: at 600 VUs the same failure begins after 179s and produces a far higher error rate for identical throughput. |
|
||||
| Top 3 most expensive database queries | 1: Query events by a multi-aggregate / event_type filter set (13,352 s)<br/>2: Projection handler advisory lock, one per projection per instance — **lock wait, not query work** (6,438 s)<br/>3: Query events by instance_id, aggregate_types, event_types, position (paged) (3,970 s)<br/>Ranked by total accumulated execution time summed across concurrent sessions (Cloud SQL Query Insights) — not CPU time; it can exceed the wall-clock window. |
|
||||
| Database metrics during test | CPU: 98% median, 100% peak<br/>Memory: 40%<br/>Connections: 46<br/>Transactions: 1,487/s<br/>IOPS: read 0, write 539<br/>**CPU-saturated — the bottleneck for this target.** |

|
||||
| flowchart outcome | **Potential issues.** Not resource-bound: database CPU 98%, ZITADEL CPU 16%, yet **35% of the top-5 query time is advisory lock wait** — predominantly the projection handler lock, which serialises this workload. Additional vCPU will not help. Logged as an issue rather than blocking further scale testing. This target also shows the documented degradation over sustained single-org churn, with per-operation latency climbing across the run. |
