What does this PR do?

Moves serverless-init off its bespoke metrics stack (ServerlessDemultiplexer, NewServerlessServer, SyncForwarder) and onto the standard Fx forwarder/demultiplexer/DogStatsD bundle the core agent uses. Lifecycle is owned by Fx: components start during fxutil.OneShot and their OnStop hooks fire in reverse construction order on shutdown (DogStatsD server → demultiplexer → forwarder). The old explicit orchestration (Flush, WaitForPendingSamples, Stop) is gone; the equivalent draining now happens inside each component's stop hook, gated by config so only serverless-init opts in.

This is the serverless-init follow-up to the upstream metrics-agent changes; it also removes the now-unused bespoke serverless plumbing.

Motivation

Simplify serverless-init and handle shutdown correctly in ephemeral environments (e.g. Cloud Run jobs) where shutdowns happen often. Splits the original #52267 into reviewable chunks.

Stacked PR — keep as draft until the upstream PRs merge

This branch is stacked on the two upstream PRs and will stay a draft until they land:

Until those merge, this PR's diff includes their commits. Once they merge, rebase onto main and the diff collapses to the serverless-init changes only.

Relative to #52267, serverless-init now gates the shutdown flush on the single dogstatsd_flush_incomplete_buckets setting (the new dogstatsd_flush_on_stop key was dropped per review), and the preloadEarly/shutdown-sequence comments are updated to describe the workerWg completion barrier.

Describe how you validated your changes

  • dda inv test --targets=./cmd/serverless-init — 95 pass
  • dda inv test --targets=./pkg/serverless/metrics,./pkg/serverless/trace — pass
  • dda inv test --targets=./comp/dogstatsd/server/impl — 247 pass
  • dda inv linter.go on ./cmd/serverless-init — clean
  • serverless-init-ci pipeline is the end-to-end gate for shutdown behavior.

Add forwarder_stop_wait_for_inflight (default false, preserving existing
behavior): when set, Worker.Stop waits for in-flight HTTP transactions to
complete instead of cancelling them. This gates the new shutdown-flush
behavior used by serverless-init.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
When forwarder_stop_wait_for_inflight is set, Worker.Stop signals the Start
goroutine via a dedicated stopChan, lets in-flight HTTP requests complete,
and cancels workerCtx last — so a final flush is not aborted by a racing
context cancel. The outer bound remains forwarder_stop_timeout. When the
flag is unset (default), Stop keeps the original cancel-immediately
semantics.

Tests are rewritten to drive Stop concurrently and assert the wait/cancel
behavior; the testTransaction block primitive moves from shouldBlock to a
release channel that models an in-flight request.

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.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Add StopTimeout to StartServerlessTraceAgentArgs (defaults to 3s when zero)
so callers can bound how long Stop waits for the trace agent's Run loop to
exit. serverless-init uses this to keep shutdown within the platform grace
window.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Shrink ServerlessMetricAgent to a demultiplexer plus the three tag sets it
applies (bundled in a new Tags struct), and add New() to construct it. The
agent no longer builds its own demultiplexer/forwarder or DogStatsD server —
those are now Fx-wired and injected. Add a metricstest package providing the
Fx bundle used by the serverless metric tests, and update the metric/otlp
tests to construct the agent on top of it.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Construct the forwarder, demultiplexer and DogStatsD server via Fx and rework
shutdown so the OnStop cascade (dsdServer.stop -> demux.Stop -> forwarder.Stop)
drains and flushes the final samples instead of dropping them. preloadEarly
applies the config overrides the pipeline reads at construction time
(forwarder_stop_wait_for_inflight, dogstatsd_flush_on_stop,
dogstatsd_flush_incomplete_buckets, stop timeouts), and the explicit
ServerlessFlush/last-flush orchestration is replaced by the Fx lifecycle.

CloudService.Shutdown now takes a nilable *ServerlessMetricAgent (nil when no
API key is configured) and the ShouldForceFlushAllOnForceFlushToSerializer hook
is removed. log.CreateConfig takes an explicit flush timeout.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
With serverless-init on the standard Fx pipeline, the legacy serverless-only
code paths are dead. Remove them:

- pkg/aggregator: ServerlessDemultiplexer (and its test)
- comp/forwarder/defaultforwarder: SyncForwarder
- comp/dogstatsd/server: NewServerlessServer / ServerlessDogstatsd and the
  ServerlessFlush interface method + serverlessFlushChan worker path
- comp/dogstatsd/serverDebug: NewServerlessServerDebug
- pkg/serverless: the FlushableAgent interface

DogStatsD shutdown flushing now goes solely through the dogstatsd_flush_on_stop
per-worker path; the old externally-driven ServerlessFlush is gone. BUILD.bazel
files are updated to drop the removed sources.

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.
