fix(db,api): replace the 540 GB webhook_events table and keep two days of it - #7792
Merged
Merged
Conversation
…s of it ingest.webhook_events reached 210M rows and 540 GB on a 30-day retention that could never keep up: each deleted row touches four indexes totalling 42 GB against a 6 GB cache, so a 5,000-row batch measured 126 s in production and the table gained ~3.6M rows a day net. 424 GB of that size was dead TOAST left by the dropped payload column, which no vacuum returns. Migration 0122 creates an empty table of the same shape, copies the last 15 minutes of rows so deliveries in flight through QStash still find theirs, drops the old table and renames the new one into place, including index, primary key and not-null constraint names. It first waits on the retention job's own advisory lock so a running delete batch finishes without queueing webhook inserts behind an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE request, and takes the table lock before the copy so nothing lands in the table being dropped. Rehearsed three times on Neon branches of production under pgbench load: no errors, worst transaction 1.3 s. Retention drops from 30 days to 48 hours, which still covers every automatic redelivery a provider here attempts (Slack 5 min, Linear 1 m / 1 h / 6 h, Notion ~24 h) with a day to spare. Payload partitions drop from 7 days to 1, the shortest a day partition allows; nothing reads a body after the 75-minute Linear sweep. Comments that described the old numbers now describe the current ones.

Navigate logical layers of code changes, visualize relationships, and explore their blast radius. 📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughWebhook event retention changes from 30 days to 48 hours, and payload partition retention changes from seven days to one day. A new migration replaces the existing webhook event table while preserving records received within the last 15 minutes. ChangesWebhook retention
Priority: ⬆️ High Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Change: Bug fix Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This change replaces the large webhook events table in a single migration. As written, the migration's final table lock may not honor the intended timeout, which could stall incoming webhook writes during deployment if the lock waits. The migration can also fail outright on the PostgreSQL 17 database used for local development. Both fixes are small; apply them before merging. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

- Around line 74-79: Update the constraint-renaming block for
"ingest"."webhook_events" in the short-retention migration to rename only
matching constraints that exist, so PostgreSQL versions without named NOT NULL
constraints can complete the migration. Preserve the existing target names for
any matching constraints found.
- Around line 50-51: Keep the 11-minute statement and lock timeouts active until
the webhook_events table lock is acquired. In the migration, move the timeout
resets to immediately after the LOCK TABLE statement, preserving the existing
advisory lock and table-lock ordering.

Keep the 11-minute timeout through the table lock.
The migration sets both timeouts to 11min on lines 47-48, then resets them before LOCK TABLE on line 55. The repository does not configure replacement timeout values for drizzle-kit migrate; the effective values therefore depend on the database or connection defaults. If lock_timeout is 0, the table lock can wait without a timeout and queue webhook inserts.
Move the reset statements until after LOCK TABLE:

Make the constraint renames PostgreSQL-version tolerant.
docker-compose.yml uses PostgreSQL 17. The replacement table defines these columns with inline NOT NULL clauses, but PostgreSQL 17 does not create the named pg_constraint entries that PostgreSQL 18 introduced. The first rename can therefore fail with constraint does not exist and abort the migration.

Summary
0122swapsingest.webhook_events(210M rows, 540 GB) for an empty table of the same shape and drops the old one, carrying over the last 15 minutes of rows.Why / Context
Measured on production on 2026-09-19 (full write-up in memory
db-load-snapshot-2026-09-19):webhook_eventsupsert alone was 25%, at 25.6 ms mean and 6.9 s max — past Linear's 5 s webhook timeout.(provider, event_id)unique index alone is 28 GB) against a 6 GB cache, so a 5,000-row batch cost 126 s. The table gained ~3.6M rows a day net; the planner's histogram put the median row at 23 days old and the oldest at 90.Draining the backlog by DELETE was never going to converge (~8 weeks at the measured rate while intake continues), so the table is replaced rather than emptied.
How It Works
packages/db/drizzle/0122_webhook_events_swap_to_short_retention.sql, in one transaction (drizzle's migrator):CREATE TABLE ingest.webhook_events_swapwith identical columns, defaults and indexes.hashtextextended('job:ingest.enforce-retention.webhook_events', 0), the keysingleFlightderives). That job holds a DELETE transaction on this table almost continuously; an ACCESS EXCLUSIVE request queued behind it would lose the deploy's 5 slock_timeouton every retry and stall every webhook insert while it waited. Waiting on the job's lock instead lets its batch finish without queueing anything, and holding it makes the job's next batch skip.SET LOCALraises the timeouts to 11 min for this one wait and restores them to the deploy's values straight after (verified:5s/1mincome back).LOCK TABLE ... ACCESS EXCLUSIVEbefore the copy, so nothing lands in the table between the copy and the drop.DROP TABLE, rename the new table and its indexes into place, and rename the six not-null constraints so the result matches what a freshCREATE TABLEfrom the schema builds.Nothing references
webhook_eventsby foreign key. Automation dedup lives onautomation_events (integration_connection_id, provider, external_event_id)and is untouched.Retention at 48 h covers every automatic redelivery a provider here attempts — Slack 5 min, Linear 1 min / 1 h / 6 h, Notion 8 tries over ~24 h — with a day to spare. Slack agent delivery is the one path that dedupes on this row alone; the others are caught a second time on
automation_events. A manual GitHub redelivery older than two days reprocesses, which is what clicking redeliver asks for.Payloads at 1 day: nothing reads a body after the 75-minute Linear abandoned-delivery sweep; this is the shortest a day partition allows.
prune-payloads(automation_events bodies) is deliberately unchanged — it is an UPDATE on a 245 GB table, so pruning sooner adds churn and returns nothing.DB migration safety checklist (

Follow-ups
automation_eventsis now the largest table: 245 GB, 55M rows, ~2.3M rows/day with no retention at all. It needs the same swap, but itsautomation_runs.event_idFK and the indexes that retention would need have to be builtCONCURRENTLY, outside drizzle's transactional migrator. Separate change.check_run/workflow_run/check_suiteevents are 69% of intake and rewrite the same ~880 PR rows ~27 times an hour. Coalescing those writes is the next-largest lever.webhook_events_provider_status_idxwas scanned 6 times in 9 days; it was kept for a like-for-like swap and can go separately.Summary by cubic
