perf(sandbox): bake the repo and schema, let the sandbox start itself - #6555
Merged

Conversation
Provisioning used to configure a sandbox from outside, at request time: clone the repo, run host-service once to create the schema, seed two rows with raw SQL, start host-service, and infer each step's completion by grepping a log. That cost ~78s, of which ~30s was the code waiting on fixed timers — a `timeout 25` around a server that never exits, and a `sleep 8` after a service that is listening in 1.5s — and ~40s was cloning 282 MiB of history. In production the API function is capped at 60s, so create was killed mid-bootstrap and the workspace hung on "Creating cloud workspace" forever. The expensive parts now happen at image build time: - the repo is baked in (blobless clone), so a workspace does a one-ref --depth 1 fetch onto a warm object store - host.db ships pre-migrated, so first boot has no schema to create. SQLite leaves it in the WAL until something checkpoints, which a signalled process does not, so the build checkpoints explicitly and asserts the size - host-service seeds its own project and workspace rows from its environment (runSandboxSelfSeed), through its own schema rather than raw SQL from the API Provisioning is now one create call plus one fire-and-forget process.exec. Measured: our part 78s -> ~4s; create -> serving ~40s end to end, the rest being the provider creating the sandbox. Three platform constraints found by running it, all recorded in docs/cloud-sandbox-mismatches.md: the image's ENTRYPOINT belongs to Blaxel's sandbox-api (overriding it leaves a sandbox nothing can exec into), the platform injects PORT and beats the image's ENV (host-service tried to bind reserved port 80), and readiness is the health.check procedure rather than an HTTP /health route.

🧹 Preview Cleanup CompleteThe following preview resources have been cleaned up:
Thank you for your contribution! 🎉 |
Baking a repo into the image introduced a way to be silently wrong: start.sh fetched the requested branch from whatever origin the image happened to carry, so a cloud workspace for any project other than the baked one would have served the baked repo's code without erroring. The requested URL is now passed in and compared against the baked origin. Same repo takes the warm path (one-ref fetch, ~2s measured); a different repo gets a fresh shallow clone, which is what provisioning did for every workspace before. Credentials move to GIT_ASKPASS rather than a credential.helper or a token in the clone URL, so the write-scoped token no longer persists in .git/config where anything with a shell in the sandbox could read it afterwards.
Measured on a freshly built image: the first two sandboxes take ~35s each and every one after ~0.3s. It is an image pull of roughly a gigabyte — 766 MB node_modules, 230 MB baked repo, 18 MB host-service — and it is worth writing down mostly because a stopwatch started right after a rebuild measures the pull rather than the product, which is how a 5s path got reported as 40s here.

Make sandbox self-seeding atomic.
Wrap the workspace existence check and both inserts in one SQLite transaction. Otherwise, a process stop between the inserts leaves an orphan project, and the next startup creates another project.

Line 55 removes only GIT_ASKPASS. SUPERSET_SANDBOX_GIT_TOKEN remains in the environment inherited by host-service.js and processes that host-service starts. Limit the token lifetime to the Git setup step.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Stop startup when repository selection fails.
If git fetch, git checkout, or both clone commands fail, the script still starts host-service. For a baked repository, a failed branch fetch leaves the baked branch checked out. The sandbox can then serve code from a branch other than SUPERSET_SANDBOX_BRANCH.
Exit on repository setup failure. Do not fall back to an unspecified default branch for a requested branch.

Delete did nothing for cloud workspaces. `destroy` routed them to
cloudWorkspace.delete correctly, but `inspect` always asked the sandbox, and a
sandbox's answer is always "no": its checkout *is* the repo, so
worktreePath === repoPath, and its row is type='main' — both signals
host-service uses to refuse deleting a main workspace. Right for a machine
someone owns, wrong for a cloud workspace, where delete is how you dispose of
the sandbox.
Found by driving the real UI: the confirm dialog carried the reason
("Main workspaces cannot be deleted") while the button appeared to do nothing.
Verified after the fix by deleting through the dialog — the row leaves the
sidebar in ~5s and the sandbox disappears from the provider.
Cloud creation reported progress through a toast — "Creating cloud workspace…" then "Cloud workspace created" — which puts the state of the thing you are waiting for in a corner, detached from the button you pressed. The submit control now carries it: spinner, disabled while in flight. Failures still toast, since that is where an error belongs. PromptInputSubmit renders `children ?? statusIcon`, so the arrow has to stand aside for the spinner; both submit sites do that now. Verified by sampling during a real create: spinner true and button disabled at +400/+900/+1500ms with no toasts, cleared by +2500ms. Also files the three follow-ups in docs/cloud-sandbox-considerations.md: the Superset CLI is offered in cloud workspaces but not installed in the image, creating doesn't open the workspace, and this toast-to-spinner change (now done, kept in the list as the reasoning for it).

Guard the complete cloud submission against re-entry.
isCreating tracks only createCloudWorkspace.isPending. submitWorkspace waits for uploadAttachments.awaitUploads() before that mutation starts. The keyboard and PromptInput paths in PromptGroup.tsx and NewWorkspaceScreen.tsx also call handleSubmit without checking isCreating.
A second call can reach mutateAsync while the first call is pending and provision two billable cloud workspaces. Add a ref-based guard before the first await, expose the full submission state, and clear the guard in finally. Add a regression test for submission during upload and during mutation.

Cloud workspace creation hung forever in production. This fixes the cause and removes the design that produced it.
What was wrong

Measured on the sandbox from the failed production attempt:timeout 25 node host-service.jssleep 8timeout 25wrapped a server that never exits, so it burned all 25s every time. host-service is listening in 1546 ms — measured inside a sandbox.The API's tRPC route is capped at
maxDuration = 60, so production killed the function mid-bootstrap. The row stayedprovisioning, the UI polled a state that would never change, and the sandbox leaked (teardown only runs when create throws; a killed function doesn't). It never showed up locally becausenext devhas no function timeout.What it does now

This also retires the "seeded rows are raw SQL against a schema it shares no types with" entry in the mismatches doc.Provisioning is one create call plus one fire-and-forget
process.exec. No log greps, no sleeps, nothing awaited.Measured
Benchmarked outside this code path to place the cost correctly, two runs per image:
blaxel/base-image:latestsup-minsuperset-hostsvc(repo baked in)Sandbox creation is sub-second once the image is warm, and the baked repo costs nothing there. The only cold-start is a one-time image pull of ~10s paid by the first workspace after each image rebuild — per image version, not per sandbox.

Declaring our own to auto-start host-service left a sandbox that returned 502 to every exec — and you cannot debug a sandbox whose exec is the broken thing.PORT, beating the image'sENV. host-service tried to bind 80 (reserved, with 443 and 8080) and exitedEADDRINUSE./health.
