perf(service): defer heavy dependencies out of the boot path - #2982
Conversation
`server.ts` mounts every route into one Hono app and the oRPC router imports all 13 route modules, so anything a route reaches at module scope is loaded at boot. That put the AWS SDK, react-email, the agent runtime and the provider SDKs in the eager module graph of a process serving nothing but content reads. Deferred to first use: - `packages/auth` magic-link now imports `resend` and the React template inside `sendMagicLink`, matching what `packages/api/email` already did. This was what pulled `@react-email/render`, `react-dom` and `css-tree` in through the auth config, which every service boots. - `file.route` loads the S3 service on demand; `new S3Client()` ran at module scope. - `agent-turn.step` loads the domain runtime inside the turn. Workflow steps are registered at boot, so its domain imports were eager by construction. The handler map is keyed by literal for the same reason and asserts the kind once loaded. - `agent.service` is split into registration plus `writing-agent.service`. - `embeddings/provider` loads `./openai.ts` inside `embed()`, which covers the indexing service and both index steps at once. - `@chia/ai/utils` was a barrel mixing API-key crypto — imported by the request auth guards — with `createModel` and its three provider SDKs. `createModel` moves to `@chia/ai/utils/model`. - `ai.route` reaches `createModel` and the gateway client through those seams. Eager bundled code drops from 10.85 MB to 6.67 MB. `ai` itself stays eager: `baseRequestSchema` needs `modelMessageSchema` to build the `/generate` validator, which is evaluated when the route is defined. `@ai-sdk/openai` and `@ai-sdk/anthropic` stay for a bundler reason rather than a source one — rolldown co-locates `zod` in their chunks, so drizzle importing `zod` retains them.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe PR moves writing-agent logic into a dedicated service and adds lazy loading for agent runtime, AI providers, S3, and email delivery. Model construction moves to a separate exported utility. ChangesRuntime loading and agent service
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR reduces eager startup loading without changing public APIs, but lazy AI and embedding imports could cause runtime failures if their deployed paths do not resolve, and some unrelated errors may still be misclassified as user-facing refusals. It is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up on these bounded risks. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

WRITING_AGENT_KIND. Both sites deliberately avoid importing the constant to keep@chia/agent-writingout of the eager graph, which is the right trade for boot cost.

Why
servicesits at a high memory baseline. Investigating a ~70 MB step on Railway showed that step was just V8 reaching its steady-state working set after a restart — not a leak — but it surfaced the real issue: the process loads almost the whole app at boot.server.tsmounts every route into one Hono app, andpackages/api/orpc/router.tsimports all 13 route modules to build the handler. So anything a route reaches at module scope is eager. APOST /api/v1/rpc/content/feeds/list— which needs drizzle and a repo — was booting the AWS SDK, react-email + react-dom, the agent runtime and three provider SDKs.Correction to an earlier revision of this description: it listed a per-package RSS table measured by importing each package alone in a fresh process. Those numbers are real but they are standalone costs, and they are badly misleading as a guide to savings — these costs are not additive.
Measured properly (same process, cumulative):
drizzle-ormalonebetter-authaloneworkflowalonehono,@orpc/server,@ai-sdk/anthropic,ai,zodThe reason is that most of that RSS is not retained data. Importing
drizzle-ormmovesheapUsedby 0.5 MB while adding 42 MB of RSS: the rest is V8 growing its heap plus allocator arenas touched during module evaluation and never returned to the OS. A control that allocates 400k short-lived objects and then drops every one of them holds 3.5 MB live and still leaves RSS 149 MB higher after five forced GCs. Packages loaded together share that already-grown arena, so each additional one is much cheaper than it looks alone.So the honest framing: the win here is real but modest, and it is about deferring work, not eliminating it.
What changed
Each of these defers a dependency to first use; none change a public contract.
packages/auth/src/base-auth.ts— magic-link importsresendand the React template insidesendMagicLink, matching whatpackages/api/email/index.tsalready did. This was the actual source of@react-email/render/react-dom/css-treein the eager graph: it comes in through the auth config, which every service boots.packages/api/orpc/routes/file.route.ts— S3 loaded on demand.new S3Client()previously ran at module scope.apps/service/src/steps/agent-turn.step.ts— domain runtime loaded inside the turn.

Coversrag-indexing.service,resource-index.stepandfeed-indexing.stepin one place.packages/ai/src/utils/index.ts— this barrel mixed API-key crypto (imported by the request-auth guards) withcreateModeland its three provider SDKs.createModelmoves to@chia/ai/utils/model;authTokenSchemais declared locally to avoid./types, which reachesai.apps/service/src/routes/ai.route.ts—createModeland the gateway client reached through those seams.Result
Eager bundled code: 10.85 MB → 6.67 MB (−39%).
Measured marginal RSS: loading the still-eager set costs 130 MB, and adding back
@aws-sdk/client-s3,@react-email/render,pi-agent-coreand@ai-sdk/googlecosts +23.9 MB on top. That — plusresend,pi-ai,react-dom,css-treeandjs-tiktoken, not in that measurement — is what no longer loads at boot. Call it roughly 25–35 MB off the steady-state baseline, not the 60–90 MB a naive sum of standalone costs would suggest.Now lazy:
