Summary

  • /terminate now flushes telemetry after forwarding to the user app (flushSequential), eliminating the race where logs produced by the user app during PassThrough could arrive in the pipeline after logsFlusher.Flush() had already returned. Since the VM is torn down on terminate, in-memory buffers are unrecoverable — sequential flush ensures the tail is captured.
  • /suspend retains the parallel flush: Firecracker snapshots preserve process memory, so residual items survive and are drained on the next resume.
  • Introduces flushMode type (noFlush / flushParallel / flushSequential) replacing the withFlush bool parameter; renames handleParallelhandleWithForwarder now that the function handles all three modes.
  • mirrorResponse now sets an explicit write deadline via http.ResponseController (5 s), replacing the undocumented +10s WriteTimeout buffer. WriteTimeout is updated to forwardTimeout + flushTimeout + mirrorResponseTimeout to cover the /terminate sequential wall-clock.

Test plan

  • dda inv test --targets=./cmd/serverless-init/lifecycle/ — all 133 tests pass
  • Verify /terminate flushes after user-app response in integration test
  • Verify /suspend still flushes in parallel (no latency regression)

…Response write

Two lifecycle flush reliability improvements:

1. /terminate now flushes telemetry *after* forwarding to the user app
   (flushSequential), eliminating the race where logs produced by the user
   app during PassThrough arrived in the pipeline after logsFlusher.Flush()
   had already returned. On /terminate the VM is torn down and buffers are
   discarded — there is no recovery path. /suspend retains the parallel
   flush since Firecracker snapshots preserve in-memory buffers and
   residual items are drained on the next resume.

   Introduces flushMode (noFlush / flushParallel / flushSequential) to
   replace the withFlush bool, and renames handleParallel to
   handleWithForwarder now that the function handles all three modes.
   WriteTimeout is updated to forwardTimeout+flushTimeout+mirrorResponseTimeout
   to cover /terminate's sequential wall-clock.

2. mirrorResponse now sets a write deadline via http.ResponseController
   before the io.Copy to the platform, replacing the undocumented +10s
   WriteTimeout buffer with an explicit mirrorResponseTimeout constant (5s).
   The two values are now kept in sync by construction.

Explanation

Confidence level: 90.00%
Effect size tolerance: |Δ mean %| ≥ 5.00%

Performance changes are noted in the perf column of each table:

  • ✅ = significantly better comparison variant performance
  • ❌ = significantly worse comparison variant performance
  • ➖ = no significant change in performance

A regression test is an A/B test of target performance in a repeatable rig, where "performance" is measured as "comparison variant minus baseline variant" for an optimization goal (e.g., ingress throughput). Due to intrinsic variability in measuring that goal, we can only estimate its mean value for each experiment; we report uncertainty in that value as a 90.00% confidence interval denoted "Δ mean % CI".

For each experiment, we decide whether a change in performance is a "regression" -- a change worth investigating further -- if all of the following criteria are true:

  1. Its estimated |Δ mean %| ≥ 5.00%, indicating the change is big enough to merit a closer look.

  2. Its 90.00% confidence interval "Δ mean % CI" does not contain zero, indicating that if our statistical model is accurate, there is at least a 90.00% chance there is a difference in performance between baseline and comparison variants.

  3. Its configuration does not mark it "erratic".

Replicate Execution Details

We run multiple replicates for each experiment/variant. However, we allow replicates to be automatically retried if there are any failures, up to 8 times, at which point the replicate is marked dead and we are unable to run analysis for the entire experiment. We call each of these attempts at running replicates a replicate execution. This section lists all replicate executions that failed due to the target crashing or being oom killed.

Note: In the below tables we bucket failures by experiment, variant, and failure type. For each of these buckets we list out the replicate indexes that failed with an annotation signifying how many times said replicate failed with the given failure mode. In the below example the baseline variant of the experiment named experiment_with_failures had two replicates that failed by oom kills. Replicate 0, which failed 8 executions, and replicate 1 which failed 6 executions, all with the same failure mode.
