# Batch Queue Stress Test Plan

This document outlines a systematic approach to testing the new Batch Queue with Deficit Round Robin (DRR) scheduling.

## Test Environment

**Setup:**

- Single local machine running one webapp instance (single BatchQueue consumer process)
- 3 organizations, each with 3 projects = **9 tenants total**
- All tenants using the same task ID: `stress-test-task`

**Note:** In production, multiple webapp instances will run BatchQueue consumers in parallel. This single-instance testing focuses on algorithm behavior rather than horizontal scaling.

## Configuration Options Under Test

| Variable                                | Default | Description                                            |
| --------------------------------------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| `BATCH_QUEUE_DRR_QUANTUM`               | 5       | Credits allocated per environment per scheduling round |
| `BATCH_QUEUE_MAX_DEFICIT`               | 50      | Maximum accumulated deficit (prevents starvation)      |
| `BATCH_QUEUE_CONSUMER_COUNT`            | 1       | Number of concurrent consumer loops                    |
| `BATCH_QUEUE_CONSUMER_INTERVAL_MS`      | 100     | Polling interval between consumer iterations           |
| `BATCH_CONCURRENCY_DEFAULT_CONCURRENCY` | 10      | Default concurrent batch items per environment         |
| `BATCH_QUEUE_GLOBAL_RATE_LIMIT`         | none    | Optional global items/sec limit                        |

**Per-Org Settings (via database):**

- `batchQueueConcurrencyConfig` - Override concurrency per org
- `batchRateLimitConfig` - Rate limit per org

```

**Observations:**

- Overall throughput: **54.52 items/sec** with 9 tenants competing
- Fairness index: **0.9999** (nearly perfect fairness)
- Notable patterns: All tenants completed within 1-2 seconds of each other (48-50s range). Per-tenant throughput ~6 items/sec each. **DRR is working excellently for symmetric load.**

### Test A2: Throughput Baseline (Single Tenant)

**Command:**

```bash
pnpm stress throughput --batch-sizes 100,500,1000 --batch-count 3
```

]
```

**Observations:**

- Max throughput achieved: **97.48 items/sec** (at batch size 500)
- Scaling behavior: **Non-linear.** 100 items → 82.58/sec, 500 items → 97.48/sec (peak), 1000 items → 88.61/sec. Sweet spot around 500 items per batch. Larger batches may introduce overhead or hit concurrency limits.

## Series B: DRR Quantum Variations

**Objective:** Understand how quantum size affects fairness vs. throughput tradeoff.

**Theory:**

- Lower quantum = more frequent tenant switching = better fairness, possibly lower throughput
- Higher quantum = longer bursts per tenant = potentially higher throughput, worse fairness

### Test B1: Very Low Quantum (quantum=1)

**Configuration:**

```env
BATCH_QUEUE_DRR_QUANTUM=1
BATCH_QUEUE_MAX_DEFICIT=50
BATCH_CONCURRENCY_DEFAULT_CONCURRENCY=10
```

**Command:**

```bash
pnpm stress fairness --batch-size 100 --batch-count 3 --tenants all -d "Low quantum=1"
```

- Throughput: **66.09 items/sec** (vs baseline: **54.52**) - +21% improvement!
- Context switching overhead visible?: **Not significantly.** Despite switching tenants every 1 item, throughput actually improved. The tighter scheduling may have better utilized concurrency slots.

```

**Observations:**

- Fairness index: **0.9997** (still excellent)
- Throughput: **51.98 items/sec** (**WORST in B series**, -5% vs baseline)
- Notable patterns: **Diminishing returns / counterproductive.** Very high quantum=50 actually hurt throughput. With 9 tenants each getting 50-item bursts, tenants wait too long for their turn. **Sweet spot appears to be quantum=25.**

## Series C: Max Deficit Variations

**Objective:** Understand how max deficit cap affects catch-up behavior for starved tenants.

**Theory:**

- Lower max deficit = limits how much a starved tenant can "catch up"
- Higher max deficit = allows more aggressive catch-up, but could starve other tenants

### Test C1: Low Max Deficit (maxDeficit=10)

**Configuration:**

```env
BATCH_QUEUE_DRR_QUANTUM=5
BATCH_QUEUE_MAX_DEFICIT=10
BATCH_CONCURRENCY_DEFAULT_CONCURRENCY=10
```

**Command:**

```bash
pnpm stress fairness --batch-size 100 --batch-count 3 --tenants all -d "Low maxDeficit=10"
```

  }
}
```

**Observations:**

- Fairness index: **0.9989** (slightly lower due to more aggressive catch-up)
- Throughput: **73.74 items/sec** (**+35% vs baseline**, best in C series)
- Any evidence of new tenant starvation during catch-up?: **Minor variance.** Some tenants took 13-37s for batches (wider spread) but all finished within reasonable bounds. **Higher max deficit = better throughput but slightly more variance.**

## Series D: Consumer Count Variations

**Objective:** Test parallelism within a single process.

**Theory:**

- More consumers = higher potential throughput (limited by concurrency limits)
- Diminishing returns expected as consumers contend for the same work

### Test D1: Single Consumer (baseline)

**Configuration:**

```env
BATCH_QUEUE_DRR_QUANTUM=5
BATCH_QUEUE_MAX_DEFICIT=50
BATCH_QUEUE_CONSUMER_COUNT=1
BATCH_CONCURRENCY_DEFAULT_CONCURRENCY=10
```

**Command:**

```bash
pnpm stress fairness --batch-size 100 --batch-count 3 --tenants all -d "Single consumer"
```

**Observations:**

- Throughput: **114.94 items/sec** (**BEST IN ALL TESTS SO FAR!** 2.78x vs single consumer)
- Fairness: **0.9888** (noticeably lower - some tenants got 17s while others got 23s)
- CPU impact: **Not measured, but likely higher.**
- Contention visible?: **Yes, fairness degradation suggests some contention/scheduling variance.** One tenant (org-3:efaelbvnogkhjnrdfsmi) finished in 16.7s while others took 21-23s. **10 consumers is great for throughput but comes at fairness cost.**

## Series E: Consumer Interval Variations

**Objective:** Test polling frequency impact on throughput and latency.

**Theory:**

- Lower interval = more responsive, higher CPU usage
- Higher interval = lower CPU, higher latency for new work

### Test E1: Fast Polling (interval=20ms)

**Configuration:**

```env
BATCH_QUEUE_DRR_QUANTUM=5
BATCH_QUEUE_MAX_DEFICIT=50
BATCH_QUEUE_CONSUMER_COUNT=3
BATCH_QUEUE_CONSUMER_INTERVAL_MS=20
BATCH_CONCURRENCY_DEFAULT_CONCURRENCY=10
```

**Command:**

```bash
pnpm stress fairness --batch-size 100 --batch-count 3 --tenants all -d "Fast polling 20ms"
```

**Observations:**

- Throughput: **70.23 items/sec** (good improvement over baseline)
- Fairness: **0.9979** (slightly lower)
- CPU usage (if observed): **Expected higher due to more frequent polling.** Faster polling didn't dramatically improve throughput - suggests bottleneck is elsewhere (processing time, not poll latency).

**Observations:**

- Throughput: **47.46 items/sec** (-13% vs baseline, worst in E series)
- Fairness: **0.9994** (good)
- Latency impact: **Significant.** Duration 56.9s vs 28.9s for 50ms. **250ms is too slow - introduces unnecessary latency between scheduling rounds.**

## Series F: Concurrency Limit Variations

**Objective:** Test per-environment processing concurrency limits.

**Theory:**

- Lower concurrency = throttled processing per env, better resource control
- Higher concurrency = faster per-env processing, potentially starving smaller tenants

### Test F1: Low Concurrency (concurrency=2)

**Configuration:**

```env
BATCH_QUEUE_DRR_QUANTUM=5
BATCH_QUEUE_MAX_DEFICIT=50
BATCH_QUEUE_CONSUMER_COUNT=3
BATCH_CONCURRENCY_DEFAULT_CONCURRENCY=2
```

**Command:**

```bash
pnpm stress fairness --batch-size 100 --batch-count 3 --tenants all -d "Low concurrency=2"
```

**Observations:**

- Throughput: **90.73 items/sec** (+66% vs baseline)
- Fairness index: **0.9931** (slightly degraded)
- Processing time variance: **Higher.** One tenant (org-2:giomqjmqmqbcngusxqfo) finished in 22.9s while others took 28-30s. **Low concurrency=2 paradoxically gave high throughput but with fairness cost.** The system may be "batching up" work more efficiently but creating uneven distribution.

## Series G: Global Rate Limiter

**Objective:** Test global throughput caps across all consumers.

**Theory:**

- Rate limiting provides predictable resource consumption
- Should not affect fairness, only overall throughput

### Test G1: Moderate Rate Limit (50 items/sec)

**Configuration:**

```env
BATCH_QUEUE_DRR_QUANTUM=5
BATCH_QUEUE_MAX_DEFICIT=50
BATCH_QUEUE_CONSUMER_COUNT=3
BATCH_CONCURRENCY_DEFAULT_CONCURRENCY=10
BATCH_QUEUE_GLOBAL_RATE_LIMIT=50
```

**Command:**

```bash
pnpm stress fairness --batch-size 100 --batch-count 3 --tenants all -d "Rate limit 50/sec"
```

```

**Observations:**

- Actual throughput: **45.43 items/sec** (target: 50) - ~91% of limit
- Fairness preserved?: **Yes, 0.9986** (excellent)
- **Rate limiter is working correctly.** Duration 59.4s shows throttling is effective. Some overhead explains why we don't hit exactly 50/sec.

**Observations:**

- Actual throughput: **81.93 items/sec** (limit was 100)
- Is this limit binding or above natural throughput?: **Above natural throughput.** Without rate limiting (E2 with same settings), throughput was 93.57/sec. The 100/sec limit is barely constraining. **Use rate limits below ~90/sec to have meaningful impact.**

**Observations:**

- Actual throughput: **21.69 items/sec** (target: 20) - slightly above limit
- Fairness index: **0.9978** (good but slight variance)
- Duration 124.5s (2+ minutes) - shows throttling working hard. **Strict rate limiting works but creates fairness variance** - some tenants saw 72-124s batch durations (wide spread).

}
```

**Observations:**

- Small batch completion times: **14-17s** (150 items × 5 tenants)
- Large batch completion times: **105-107s** (2400 items × 4 tenants)
- Were small batches starved?: **NO!** Small batches finished ~6x faster than large batches, exactly as expected. **DRR correctly prioritizes smaller workloads and doesn't let large batches monopolize.** Fairness index 0.9979 is excellent given asymmetric load.

### Test H2: Asymmetric with Low Quantum (better fairness?)

**Configuration:**

```env
BATCH_QUEUE_DRR_QUANTUM=2
BATCH_QUEUE_MAX_DEFICIT=50
BATCH_QUEUE_CONSUMER_COUNT=3
BATCH_CONCURRENCY_DEFAULT_CONCURRENCY=10
```

**Command:**

```bash

**Observations:**

- Large batch completion times: **123-127s** (slower than H1's 105-107s)
- Improvement over H1?: **Mixed.** Fairness improved (0.9992 vs 0.9979) but overall throughput dropped (58.42 vs 67.61 items/sec). **Low quantum=2 improves fairness but at throughput cost.** For asymmetric loads, default quantum=5 is better balance.

**Observations:**

- Fairness under burst: **0.9999** (nearly perfect!)
- Throughput: **68.84 items/sec**
- Any tenant significantly slower?: **All tenants finished within 2s of each other (63-65s range).** **Excellent burst handling!** Even under simultaneous 4500-item burst from 9 tenants, DRR maintained perfect fairness. This is the ideal scenario for DRR.

## Series I: Combined/Optimized Configurations

**Objective:** Test promising combinations based on earlier results.

### Test I1: Throughput-Optimized

Based on Series B-F results, configure for maximum throughput.

**Configuration (adjust based on findings):**

```env

BATCH_QUEUE_MAX_DEFICIT=50
BATCH_QUEUE_CONSUMER_COUNT=5
BATCH_QUEUE_CONSUMER_INTERVAL_MS=50
BATCH_CONCURRENCY_DEFAULT_CONCURRENCY=25

## Per-Org Concurrency Testing (Optional Series J)

If time permits, test different concurrency limits per organization by updating the database.

### Setting Per-Org Concurrency

```sql
-- Set org-1 to high concurrency (50)
UPDATE "Organization"
SET "batchQueueConcurrencyConfig" = '{"default": 50}'
WHERE slug = 'org-1';

-- Set org-2 to medium concurrency (10)
UPDATE "Organization"
SET "batchQueueConcurrencyConfig" = '{"default": 10}'
WHERE slug = 'org-2';

-- Set org-3 to low concurrency (2)
UPDATE "Organization"
SET "batchQueueConcurrencyConfig" = '{"default": 2}'
WHERE slug = 'org-3';
```

### Test J1: Mixed Org Concurrency Limits

**Configuration:**

```env
BATCH_QUEUE_DRR_QUANTUM=5
BATCH_QUEUE_MAX_DEFICIT=50
BATCH_QUEUE_CONSUMER_COUNT=3
BATCH_CONCURRENCY_DEFAULT_CONCURRENCY=10  # fallback
```

**Command:**

```bash
pnpm stress fairness --batch-size 100 --batch-count 3 --tenants all -d "Mixed org concurrency"
```

<details>
<summary>Results J1 (click to expand)</summary>

```json
// Paste results here
```

**Observations:**

- Org-1 (high concurrency) throughput: **\_**
- Org-2 (medium concurrency) throughput: **\_**
- Org-3 (low concurrency) throughput: **\_**
- Does DRR still maintain fairness?: **\_**

## Recommended Execution Order

1. **Series A** (Baseline) - Establish reference point
2. **Series B** (DRR Quantum) - Understand core fairness mechanism
3. **Series C** (Max Deficit) - Understand starvation prevention
4. **Series D** (Consumer Count) - Find optimal parallelism
5. **Series E** (Consumer Interval) - Find optimal polling frequency
6. **Series F** (Concurrency) - Find optimal per-env limits
7. **Series G** (Global Rate Limit) - Test throttling mechanism
8. **Series H** (Asymmetric) - Validate fairness under realistic conditions
9. **Series I** (Combined) - Test optimized configurations

## Between Tests

After each configuration change:

1. Restart the webapp to pick up new env vars
2. Wait ~5 seconds for BatchQueue to initialize
3. Consider clearing Redis state between tests if needed: `redis-cli FLUSHDB`

---

## Key Metrics to Watch

1. **Throughput** (`overallThroughput`) - Higher is better, all else equal
2. **Fairness Index** (`fairnessIndex`) - Closer to 1.0 is better
3. **Per-Tenant Variance** - Look at min/max batch durations across tenants
4. **P95/P99 Latencies** - Watch for tail latencies indicating starvation

## Notes and Observations

### Key Findings from Series A-H

#### 1. DRR Fairness is Excellent

- **Fairness Index consistently 0.99+** across all tests
- Burst scenario (H3) achieved **0.9999 fairness** with 9 tenants competing simultaneously
- Asymmetric load (H1) showed small batches complete quickly without being starved by large batches

#### 2. Throughput vs Fairness Tradeoffs

| Configuration         | Effect on Throughput | Effect on Fairness |
| --------------------- | -------------------- | ------------------ |
| Higher quantum (25)   | ↑ Significant        | → Neutral          |
| Higher quantum (50)   | ↓ Hurts              | → Neutral          |
| Higher maxDeficit     | ↑ Moderate           | ↓ Slight           |
| More consumers        | ↑↑ Major             | ↓ Moderate (at 10) |
| Faster polling (50ms) | ↑ Best               | → Neutral          |
| Higher concurrency    | ↑ Moderate           | → Neutral          |

#### 3. Recommended Default Configuration

Based on test results, the optimal balanced configuration is:

```env
BATCH_QUEUE_DRR_QUANTUM=25          # Sweet spot from B series
BATCH_QUEUE_MAX_DEFICIT=50          # Default is fine (100 gains throughput but costs fairness)
BATCH_QUEUE_CONSUMER_COUNT=3        # Good balance (10 is faster but less fair)
BATCH_QUEUE_CONSUMER_INTERVAL_MS=50 # Best from E series
BATCH_CONCURRENCY_DEFAULT_CONCURRENCY=10  # Good balance from F series
```

**Expected performance:** ~90-100 items/sec with 0.999+ fairness

#### 4. Configuration Recommendations by Use Case

**High-throughput priority (fairness acceptable at 0.98+):**

```env
BATCH_QUEUE_DRR_QUANTUM=25
BATCH_QUEUE_MAX_DEFICIT=100
BATCH_QUEUE_CONSUMER_COUNT=10
BATCH_QUEUE_CONSUMER_INTERVAL_MS=50
BATCH_CONCURRENCY_DEFAULT_CONCURRENCY=25
```

**Strict fairness priority (throughput can be lower):**

```env
BATCH_QUEUE_DRR_QUANTUM=5
BATCH_QUEUE_MAX_DEFICIT=25
BATCH_QUEUE_CONSUMER_COUNT=3
BATCH_QUEUE_CONSUMER_INTERVAL_MS=100
BATCH_CONCURRENCY_DEFAULT_CONCURRENCY=5
```

#### 5. Surprising Results

1. **quantum=1 outperformed quantum=10**: Lower quantum didn't add expected overhead. May be due to better slot utilization.

2. **quantum=50 was worst**: Too much time between tenant switches caused overall slowdown.

3. **concurrency=2 had high throughput but poor fairness**: Some tenants finished much faster than others.

4. **20ms polling was worse than 50ms**: Too-fast polling created contention.

#### 6. Rate Limiter Behavior

- Rate limiter effectively caps throughput
- At 50/sec limit, achieved ~45/sec (91% efficiency)
- At 20/sec limit, achieved ~22/sec (108% - slight overshoot)
- Rate limiting preserved fairness well (0.997-0.999)

#### 7. Asymmetric Load Handling

- **Excellent!** Small batches (150 items) completed in 14-17s
- Large batches (2400 items) completed in 105-127s
- DRR prevented large batches from starving small ones
- Lower quantum (2) improved fairness but hurt overall throughput by ~13%

### Scaling Observations

- Single consumer: ~41 items/sec
- 3 consumers: ~58 items/sec (1.4x)
- 5 consumers: ~64 items/sec (1.5x)
- 10 consumers: ~115 items/sec (2.8x)

**Diminishing returns start around 5 consumers, with fairness degradation at 10.**

### Production Recommendations

1. **Start with defaults** - They're well-tuned for most cases
2. **Consider quantum=25** for throughput boost without fairness cost
3. **Use 3-5 consumers** for good parallelism without contention
4. **50ms polling** is optimal for most workloads
5. **Monitor fairness index** in production metrics
6. **Use global rate limiter** if you need to cap resource usage
