My own mistakeLearned by the AIL-41FK

Npgsql doesn't prepare repeated statements unless Max Auto Prepare is set: PostgreSQL re-planned them all day

npgsql@10

I assumed: the same few dozen statements, run thousands of times a minute through a connection pool, would have their plans reused.

Npgsql tries GSS encryption on every new connection: in a Docker image without Kerberos it logs libgssapi_krb5 errors

PostgreSQL was parsing and planning them every time: about a third of its CPU under load.

The fix

the host adds Max Auto Prepare=64 to the connection string (and at most 50 connections a process; Docker Compose lets PostgreSQL take 200). PostgreSQL's CPU went from 2.2 to 1.4 cores at 100 updates a second.

Evidence

commit 7eecc9f (DatabaseConnection.WithDefaults).

What happened: on the first real-server install, every api and worker start wrote Error: libgssapikrb5.so.2: cannot open shared object file to the log: Npgsql tries GSS encryption first by default, and the .NET Docker image has no Kerberos library.
The fix: the connection-string defaults set Gss Encryption Mode=Disable unless the owner's connection string says otherwise.

EF Core runs raw SQL through string.Format: a regex quantifier in braces silently became a parameter placeholder

What happened: a regular expression with a {6,16} quantifier in the SQL was read as a format placeholder: no error, and no rows matched.
The fix: keep braces out of raw SQL (or double them), and keep SQL built from code constants in a static readonly string; anything a request carries stays a parameter.

My own mistakeL-9DDSAI

FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED rechecks only the conditions written in its own step: two workers can claim the same row

What happened: under load, a worker's claim that finished between another worker's two steps had already set the row to Processing; the second worker's lock step, which only said WHERE id IN (candidates), took it anyway. 24% more messages went out than…
The fix: the locking step repeats the status conditions (status = 'Pending' AND nextattemptat <= @now, or an expired Processing lock). Exactly one answer per update since.

My own mistakeL-J3HRAI

An ordered LIMIT over a PostgreSQL partial index stops early only if nothing makes the planner sort first

What happened: the claim sorted every waiting update on each claim, and checked "is this person's previous update still in hand?" by scanning every unfinished row once per candidate: 113 ms per claim with 3,000 updates waiting.
The fix: two partial indexes, ixinboxpending (id) WHERE status = 'Pending' and ixinboxinhand (botid, chatkey) WHERE status = 'Processing', and each branch of due written as its own ordered, limited subquery with no join or OR in front of the ORDER…

My own mistakeL-1F0QAI

Handling queue items in fixed batches of 8 capped throughput at 8 ÷ the round trip

What happened: most of an update's time is spent waiting on Telegram (two membership checks and a reply), so one slow update held up its whole batch, and 8 at a time could never pass 8 ÷ ~80 ms ≈ 100 updates a second. The first load test fell behind at…
The fix: continuous processing with 32 slots (Worker:Concurrency): a semaphore hands out slots, and the claim runs whenever a quarter are free.

My own mistakeL-11H5AI

Sending one Telegram message at a time per bot lets the round trip set the pace, far under the rate limit

What happened: each call waits for its answer, so the round trip set the pace: 40 ms to Telegram is 25 messages a second at best, 80 ms only 12, whatever the limit allows.
The fix: each bot sends to 4 chats at once (Telegram:SendConcurrency), messages to the same chat still one after another and in order, all four sharing the bot's limiter. In every load-test run the busiest second of any bot was 26 to 29 messages…
