It was certainly an interesting cooperation between developers and sysadmin to get rid of the performance issues we faced! debusine.debian.net is becoming a non-trivial deployment where scaling issues can create real usability issues for end-users.

In the latest in a series of articles about Debusine, our developers and sysadmins do a deep dive on how they managed to investigate and fix #Debusine workflow performance issues caused by complex interactions between a series of database concurrency and worker communication issues.

It involved delicate work to avoid system deadlocks, optimizing our workflow orchestration, scheduling fixes, worker refactoring and reducing the high database write volume.

Debusine workflow performance issues

During March and April, we had a number of performance issues that made Debusine’s core functions of running work requests and reflecting their results in workflows quite unreliable. Investigating and fixing this took up a lot of time from both the Debusine development team and Freexian’s sysadmins. The central problems involved a series of database concurrency and worker communication issues that interacted in complex ways. On bad days, this caused between 10% and 25% of processed work requests to fail unnecessarily.
