From 0a4e7a822fc6b41a3cac26470af5ef22d6bdc589 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joseph Doherty Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2026 05:09:36 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] perf: eliminate per-message allocations in pub/sub hot path and coalesce outbound writes Pub/sub 1:1 (16B) improved from 0.18x to 0.50x, fan-out from 0.18x to 0.44x, and JetStream durable fetch from 0.13x to 0.64x vs Go. Key changes: replace .ToArray() copy in SendMessage with pooled buffer handoff, batch multiple small writes into single WriteAsync via 64KB coalesce buffer in write loop, and remove profiling Stopwatch instrumentation from ProcessMessage/StreamManager hot paths. --- benchmarks_comparison.md | 114 ++++---- .../JetStream/JetStreamProfiler.cs | 62 +++++ .../JetStream/Storage/FileStore.cs | 36 +-- .../JetStream/Storage/MessageRecord.cs | 84 +++--- src/NATS.Server/JetStream/Storage/MsgBlock.cs | 210 +++++++------- src/NATS.Server/NatsClient.cs | 92 ++++++- src/NATS.Server/NatsServer.cs | 25 +- .../SubList/SubListAsyncCacheSweepTests.cs | 2 +- .../JetStream/JetStreamPublishProfileTest.cs | 260 ++++++++++++++++++ .../NATS.Server.JetStream.Tests.csproj | 1 + 10 files changed, 654 insertions(+), 232 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/NATS.Server/JetStream/JetStreamProfiler.cs create mode 100644 tests/NATS.Server.JetStream.Tests/JetStream/JetStreamPublishProfileTest.cs diff --git a/benchmarks_comparison.md b/benchmarks_comparison.md index 20e0e51..3e4bef6 100644 --- a/benchmarks_comparison.md +++ b/benchmarks_comparison.md @@ -12,27 +12,27 @@ Benchmark run: 2026-03-13.

The bottleneck is **upstream of the storage layer** in the E2E network/protocol processing path. - -**Important context from Go source verification:** Go also processes JetStream messages inline on the read goroutine — `processInbound` → `processInboundClientMsg` calls `processJetStreamMsg` synchronously (no channel handoff). `processJetStreamMsg` takes `mset.mu` and calls `store.StoreMsg()` inline (`server/stream.go:5436–6136`). The `pcd` field is `map[*client]struct{}` for deferred outbound flush bookkeeping (`server/client.go:291`), not a channel. - -So Go faces the same serial read→process constraint per connection — the 1,200x gap cannot be explained by Go offloading JetStream to another goroutine (it doesn't). The actual differences are: - -1. **Write coalescing in the file store** — Go's `writeMsgRecordLocked` appends to `mb.cache.buf` (an in-memory byte slice) and defers disk I/O to a background `flushLoop` goroutine that coalesces at 16KB or 8ms (`server/filestore.go:328, 5796, 5841`). Our .NET port now matches this pattern, but there may be differences in how efficiently the flush loop runs (Task scheduling overhead vs goroutine scheduling). - -2. **Coalescing write loop for outbound data** — Go has a dedicated `writeLoop` goroutine per connection that waits on `c.out.sg` (`sync.Cond`, `server/client.go:355, 1274`). Outbound data accumulates in `out.nb` (`net.Buffers`) and is flushed in batches via `net.Buffers.WriteTo` up to `nbMaxVectorSize` buffers (`server/client.go:1615`). The .NET server writes ack responses individually per message — no outbound batching. - -3. **Per-message overhead in the .NET protocol path** — The .NET `NatsClient.ProcessInboundAsync` calls `TryCaptureJetStreamPublish` via `.GetAwaiter().GetResult()`, blocking the read loop Task. While Go also processes inline, Go's goroutine scheduler is cheaper for this pattern — goroutines that block on mutex or I/O yield efficiently to the runtime scheduler, whereas .NET's `Task` + `GetAwaiter().GetResult()` on an async context can cause thread pool starvation or synchronization overhead. - -4. **AsyncFlush configuration** — Go's file store respects `fcfg.AsyncFlush` (`server/filestore.go:456`). When `AsyncFlush=true` (the default for streams), `writeMsgRecordLocked` does NOT flush synchronously (`server/filestore.go:6803`). When `AsyncFlush=false`, it flushes inline after each write. The .NET benchmark may be triggering synchronous flushes unintentionally. - -### What would actually fix it - -The fix requires changes to the outbound write path and careful profiling, not further FileStore tuning: - -| Change | Description | Go Reference | -|--------|-------------|-------------| -| **Coalescing write loop** | Add a dedicated outbound write loop per connection that batches acks/MSGs using `net.Buffers`-style vectored I/O, woken by a `sync.Cond`-equivalent signal | `server/client.go:1274, 1615` — `writeLoop` with `out.sg` (`sync.Cond`) and `out.nb` (`net.Buffers`) | -| **Eliminate sync-over-async** | Replace `.GetAwaiter().GetResult()` calls in the read loop with true async/await or a synchronous-only code path to avoid thread pool overhead | N/A — architectural difference | -| **Profile Task scheduling** | The background flush loop uses `Task.Delay(1)` for coalescing waits; this may have higher latency than Go's `time.Sleep(1ms)` due to Task scheduler granularity | `server/filestore.go:5841` — `time.Sleep` in `flushLoop` | -| **Verify AsyncFlush is enabled** | Ensure the benchmark stream config sets `AsyncFlush=true` so the file store uses buffered writes rather than synchronous per-message flushes | `server/filestore.go:456` — `fs.fip = !fcfg.AsyncFlush` | - -The coalescing write loop is likely the highest-impact change — it explains both the JetStream ack throughput gap and the 0.18x gap in pub/sub (small payload) and fan-out benchmarks. +| Change | Expected Impact | Go Reference | +|--------|----------------|-------------| +| **Vectored I/O (`writev`)** | Eliminate coalesce copy in write loop — write gathered buffers in single syscall | Go: `net.Buffers.WriteTo()` → `writev()` in `flushOutbound()` | +| **Per-client scratch buffer** | Reuse 1KB buffer for MSG header formatting across deliveries | Go: `client.msgb` (1024-byte scratch, `msgScratchSize`) | +| **Batch flush signaling** | Deduplicate write loop wakeups — signal once per readloop iteration, not per delivery | Go: `pcd` map tracks affected clients, `flushClients()` at end of readloop | +| **Eliminate per-message GC allocations** | ~30% improvement on FileStore AppendAsync — pool or eliminate `StoredMessage` objects | Go stores in `cache.buf`/`cache.idx` with zero per-message allocs | diff --git a/src/NATS.Server/JetStream/JetStreamProfiler.cs b/src/NATS.Server/JetStream/JetStreamProfiler.cs new file mode 100644 index 0000000..e1250a5 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/NATS.Server/JetStream/JetStreamProfiler.cs @@ -0,0 +1,62 @@ +using System.Diagnostics;
