When dogstatsd_flush_incomplete_buckets is enabled, each worker flushes its batcher into the time sampler as it exits its run loop on stop. stop() closes stopChan and then waits on a workerWg so every worker's flush completes before the demultiplexer is torn down — guaranteeing the batched samples reach the sampler before its own final flush, with no dropped metrics on the shutdown of a short-lived process (serverless-init).

The flush is gated by the existing dogstatsd_flush_incomplete_buckets setting rather than a new key: that setting already flushes the sampler's final bucket, and draining the server batchers one layer upstream is the same "report everything we have on stop" intent. Long-running agents leave it off and are unaffected.

The legacy ServerlessFlush mechanism is left in place for now; it is removed once serverless-init stops using it.

Motivation

We're migrating to use as much of the existing metrics agent functionality in serverless-init as possible, but need some short-lived-agent features to make that work.

Describe how you validated your changes

Unit tests, as well as testing in a real serverelss-init short-lived test rig deployed to cloud run jobs.

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.
