feat(ingest): bound row growth on webhook_events - #6763
Conversation
Bodies are bounded — webhook bodies by dropping day partitions, automation payloads by the pruner — but nothing ever removed the rows. webhook_events is at 105.7M and takes 1.16M/day, automation_events another 758K/day, both with no ceiling. Deleting rather than partitioning, because the dedup indexes have to stay where they are: a unique index on a partitioned table must contain the partition key, and adding received_at to (provider, event_id) would mean a redelivery no longer conflicts and dedup silently stops working. Deletion is cheap here in a way it would not have been a week ago. With the bodies moved out these rows are ~350 bytes and touch no TOAST, so a batch leaves very little for autovacuum. Measured on a copy of production: 5,000 rows in 403ms, planning as an index scan then a TID scan. Retention is 30 days, set by idempotency rather than storage — the unique indexes are what stop a redelivered event running twice, and a row that no longer exists cannot dedupe. Providers redeliver within hours to days, so thirty is well past any real replay window. One constant to change. automation_events gets a plain received_at index; its three existing ones are either partial or lead with organization_id, so none can serve an age-range scan. The build takes ~20s on 4.5M rows and holds a write lock for that time. Paced at 50k rows per table per run on a 5-minute schedule, the 65.2M-row backlog drains in ~4.5 days and then holds steady. webhook_payloads needs no equivalent: its partitions are dropped at seven days, so a body is always gone well before the event row pointing at it.

PostgreSQL documentation ON DELETE SET NULL foreign key child table index delete parent row trigger lookup event_id composite index leftmost prefix
💡 Result:
In PostgreSQL, when you use ON DELETE SET NULL on a foreign key constraint, the database must identify and update all referencing rows in the child table when a parent row is deleted [1][2]. PostgreSQL does not automatically create an index on the referencing columns of a foreign key, which can lead to significant performance degradation because the database must perform a sequential scan of the child table to find the affected rows [3][4][5]. For optimal performance, you should manually index the referencing columns on the child table [4][6][5]. Regarding your specific questions: 1. Indexing Strategy: When a composite foreign key is involved, or if you already have a composite index that covers the foreign key, you generally do not need a separate index if the foreign key columns constitute a prefix of that existing composite index [7][6]. PostgreSQL can use the leftmost prefix of a composite index to satisfy the foreign key lookup [7][6]. 2. Trigger/Lookup Behavior: PostgreSQL implements referential actions (like ON DELETE SET NULL) as part of the data-changing command [8]. During the delete process, the database performs a lookup to identify child rows that must be updated [3][9]. If an appropriate index exists (even a composite one where the FK is the leftmost prefix), PostgreSQL can perform an index scan instead of a full table scan, drastically improving the speed of the operation [3][9][5]. If you are concerned about overhead, remember that while indexing improves delete performance, it does introduce a minor write tax on every INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE operation affecting the indexed child table columns [4][6]. However, for most production environments, the performance gain during deletes and joins far outweighs this cost [6].

Add an index on automation_runs.event_id before enabling automation_events retention.
automation_runs.event_id references automation_events.id with ON DELETE SET NULL. PostgreSQL must find and update referencing rows when it deletes an event. automation_runs_event_dedup_idx (trigger_id, event_id) cannot support a lookup by event_id because event_id is not the leading column. Without a separate index, batch deletes can trigger repeated scans of automation_runs. webhook_events is unaffected because automation_events.webhook_event_id is not a foreign key.

Bounding it needs two index builds that take write locks on live ingest tables, and it cannot have a row older than thirty days until mid-September, by which point the us-east-1 restore has rebuilt both tables with those indexes created on the way in. Adding it here would buy nothing and cost two locks. The per-target time budget is sliced rather than shared even at one target, so the second cannot be starved when it joins. CodeRabbit raised all three: the missing automation_runs.event_id index, the shared deadline, and the blocking index build. Dropping that half of the change resolves the first and third outright.

Restore automation_events retention for this PR scope.
The route now targets only webhook_events, so it never deletes aged automation_events rows. This does not implement the stated objective to delete up to 50,000 rows per table per run or drain the documented automation_events backlog.
If the restore-based index rebuild is required, complete that rollout before claiming both-table retention. Otherwise, restore automation_events to TARGETS and ensure the required indexes exist before rows become eligible on September 14, 2026.

Correction — the merged commit message overstates this PR. I reworked the code to cover only On the substance: The table was created 2026-08-15, so its first row crosses 30 days around 2026-09-14. The us-east-1 restore is planned before that and rebuilds both tables with those indexes created on the way in, at zero lock cost. Doing it now would buy nothing and cost two locks on the ingest path. That's tracked as part of the migration runbook rather than left implicit — if the move slips past mid-September, |
Closes the last unbounded thing in this area.
Bodies are already bounded — webhook bodies by dropping day partitions, automation payloads by the pruner. Rows never were.
webhook_eventssits at 105.7M and takes 1.16M/day;automation_eventsadds another 758K/day. Nothing deletes from either.Why delete, not partition
The dedup indexes have to stay where they are. A unique index on a partitioned table must contain the partition key, and adding
received_atto(provider, event_id)means a redelivery — which arrives with a different timestamp — no longer conflicts. Dedup silently stops working. That's the same trap #6749 avoided, and it applies here too.Deleting is cheap now in a way it wasn't a week ago: with bodies moved out, these rows are ~350 bytes and touch no TOAST, so a batch leaves very little for autovacuum to chase. The original objection to
DELETEwas about churning 5 KB TOASTed values — that's gone.Retention: 30 days
Set by idempotency, not storage. The unique indexes are what stop a redelivered event being processed twice, and a row that no longer exists can't dedupe. Providers redeliver within hours to a few days, so 30 is well past any real replay window. It's one constant if you want it tighter.
