test: a reproducible benchmark harness with published numbers (closes #824) by pratyush618 · Pull Request #954 · ByteVeda/flexiq

pratyush618 · 2026-09-20T17:29:35Z

What changed and why?

The README sold a Rust core with no number behind it, and the docs were worse than silent: docs/content/docs/shared/more/examples/benchmark.mdx published a comparison table giving flexiq ~55,000/s enqueue against Celery's ~5,000/s and a 3.4 ms p99, attributed to "public benchmarks and community reports" — which is to say nobody ran them and nobody could reproduce them.

This adds bench/: one scenario, one command, pinned dependency versions, six systems, and a committed results artifact. The docs chart, the docs comparison table and the README block are all generated from that artifact, so a figure that was not measured cannot appear.

The measured result — 20,000 jobs, 256-byte payload, concurrency 4, every system on its own defaults, on a 4-core shared cloud VM:

	FlexiQ SQLite	FlexiQ Redis	Celery	Dramatiq	RQ	BullMQ
Enqueue/s	5,660	4,978	1,946	6,110	1,873	5,584
Completion/s	144	127	1,029	1,046	156	5,584
p50 ms	29.2	29.5	2.8	7.7	16.6	1.6
p99 ms	54.3	123.5	3.5	20.8	20.6	2.4
Idle MB	51.1	46.5	209.3	129.6	172.5	73.9

FlexiQ wins idle memory by between 1.5x and 4.5x — an embedded queue runs no broker process and no result backend — and is second on enqueue. It comes last on completion throughput and last on service latency at both p50 and p99. The two documented knobs take completion to 629.6/s and p50 to 11.8 ms — better, still last.

Those rows ship as measured. A benchmark FlexiQ wins on every axis reads as a benchmark FlexiQ wrote.

Why the default configuration is slow

Worth reviewing on its own, because the first version of this branch got it wrong and said so in the docs.

The scheduler fills a dispatch channel holding num_workers * 2 jobs (worker/runner.rs:230), then sleeps out scheduler_poll_interval_ms before looking again. Nothing wakes it when a worker frees up: dispatch_wake fires only once in-flight work reaches max_in_flight (scheduler/mod.rs:735), which the Python binding sets to num_workers + async_concurrency — 104 with stock settings — and which an eight-slot channel can never reach. The timer is the only wake source, so throughput is about 2 * num_workers / poll_interval however deep the backlog is.

Measured against that model, one process per configuration, no bench harness and no sink involved:

workers	poll	predicted	measured
1	50 ms	40/s	37.1
4	50 ms	160/s	131.1 (batch 1) · 150.0 (batch 64)
8	50 ms	320/s	231.8
4	10 ms	800/s	380.7 (batch 1) · 603.2 (batch 64)

scheduler_batch_size — the knob the docs have always recommended first — moves the default from 131 to 150 jobs/s, because batching the claim cannot help when the constraint is a channel that holds eight. Dropping the poll to 10 ms alone gives 381.

This looks like a bug rather than a tuning default: the "only wake when saturated" guard in release_in_flight is keyed to a limit the pool never hits, because it saturates at the channel instead. Not fixed here — this branch measures and documents, it does not touch crates/. Worth its own issue.

Two measurement decisions worth reviewing

Two load phases. The first full run reported a p50 of 68 seconds for FlexiQ and 0.4 ms for BullMQ. Both real, neither meaningful: every job went in as a four-second burst, so the percentile measured the backlog in front of each job — throughput in different units — and BullMQ scored well only because it drained fast enough never to queue. Those numbers were discarded. There is now a second phase paced at 50/s, below every system's measured capacity, so nothing queues and the percentiles are service latency. The burst percentiles are kept and reported as the queueing delay they are, because the gap between the two is the most instructive number in the table. A saturation guard compares the last tenth of the paced run against the first and flags any row where the no-queueing assumption broke.

One completion sink, and everybody pays for it. Every worker, whatever it drains, does exactly one extra thing per job: RPUSH a [seq, enqueued_ns, completed_ns] record onto a Redis list. No framework's own result backend is read, because five result backends are five definitions of "done". FlexiQ on SQLite has to reach Redis for this too and is not given it back.

Every other fairness decision is written down in bench/README.md so it can be argued with specifically — including that only FlexiQ has a tuned row, and why that asymmetry is a disclosure rather than a thumb on the scale. No equivalent tuning was applied to the other four; if you know the documented knob that moves one of their numbers, the harness wants that pull request.

One defect found and fixed during bring-up: FlexiQ logs two lines per job at its default INFO level while the other four were already silenced by their CLI flags. FLEXIQ_LOG_LEVEL=WARNING now applies to every run. It moved the number by less than run-to-run noise, but it was measuring the logging module.

Validation

Notes

Nothing under crates/ or sdks/ is touched, so the Rust, Python, Node.js and Java suites have nothing to say about this change. The harness measures the published flexiq==2.0.0 wheel pinned in bench/requirements.txt rather than this working tree, so that a stranger reproducing the numbers gets the same binary that was measured — which also means an engine change cannot break it.

What was run instead:

The full benchmark, all eight rows, no failures: every system completed 20,000 burst jobs and 2,000 paced jobs, each holding exactly 50/s, none saturated.
The CI smoke suite (bench/scenario.smoke.toml, all six systems) against the committed tree.
The drift check: the sync script followed by a no-diff assertion on the two generated files.
actionlint on both changed workflows.
FlexiQ's drain rate was cross-checked outside the harness, through its own stats() with no sink involved — 135.6 jobs/s on defaults, 624 tuned — before the loss was published, so the result is the product's and not the harness's.

A new ci-bench.yml runs the smoke scenario only. No number from CI is ever published and the workflow header says so at length: a shared runner describes the runner, not the queue. What it catches is the part that rots — a runner that no longer starts, or a results file that lands without regenerating what reads it.

Two things deliberately left out. The idle column is sampled before a worker has run a job, so it is provisioning cost rather than memory retained after a drain; that limit is named in bench/README.md and a post-drain sample is worth adding. And docs/content/docs/about/changelog.mdx is stale against CHANGELOG.md (last synced at #950, changelog updated through #952) — the docs build regenerates it, and that regeneration was reverted here as unrelated to this change.

The README sells a Rust core and nothing in the tree supports it. This is the half of #824 that can be reviewed without numbers: one scenario file every runner reads, and the plumbing that has to be identical across systems for a comparison between them to mean anything. The measurement decisions are the substance here, and they are written down in bench/README.md so they can be argued with specifically: - One completion sink, a Redis list, written once per job by every worker whatever it drains. No framework's own result backend is consulted, because five result backends are five definitions of "done". FlexiQ on SQLite pays that Redis hop too and is not given it back. - Stock configuration, with three exceptions applied to everybody: log level, result storage off, and the scenario's concurrency. - A drain that returns the wrong number of records fails the run. Percentiles over a truncated drain are the flattering half of a distribution. Two load phases, because one cannot answer both questions. The burst phase measures how fast a backlog clears; the paced phase submits below every system's capacity so nothing queues, and its percentiles are service latency. A saturation guard flags any row where that assumption broke. run.py refuses to write a results file that does not validate, and a system whose run failed still gets a row carrying the reason — a missing row reads as modesty.

The completion sink is the one thing every system under test has in common: one RPUSH per job, onto one Redis list, from whatever worker drained it. That is what makes five queues comparable, and it is why FlexiQ on SQLite reaches Redis too. process.py starts a worker in its own process group, because a Celery prefork parent that survives the run holds a broker connection and quietly joins the next system's measurement. It also samples idle RSS and CPU, from cumulative CPU time rather than cpu_percent, so a prefork pool's churning children are counted rather than half-counted. report.py is the schema. Everything it validates has a downstream consumer that would otherwise fail silently: a missing machine label renders a chart with no machine on it, and an absent axis renders as a gap that reads like a zero.

One command drives every system through the same sequence: reset, start the worker, settle, sample idle, warm up, burst, pace. The worker keeps draining while the producer enqueues, because that is what a queue does — an enqueue figure taken against an idle system is a figure nobody will ever see again. Two load phases. The burst measures enqueue throughput and the rate a backlog clears; its latency percentiles are queueing delay and are reported as such. The paced phase submits below every system's capacity so nothing queues, and its percentiles are service latency. FLEXIQ_LOG_LEVEL=WARNING is set for every run, levelled the same way `celery -l WARNING` and `rq -l WARNING` are on their command lines. FlexiQ defaults to INFO and writes two lines per job, which on a no-op body is a measurable share of the work and a share none of its rivals pays once they are quiet. A drain that returns the wrong number of sink records fails the run outright. A system that fails still gets a row carrying the reason, because a missing row reads as modesty.

Every runner is a program with the same three subcommands, so run.py drives six queues through one code path and a seventh system is one new file. Each runs as its own process: importing Celery, Dramatiq, RQ and FlexiQ into one interpreter would have them share a connection pool, a logging config and a signal disposition, and the first number measured would be an artefact of the import order. _common.py holds everything that must not differ between systems — the log level, where the sink lives, the shape of the JSON a runner prints, and the pacer. The pacer holds each submission against a schedule computed from the start rather than sleeping a fixed gap, which would fold the submit cost into the interval and deliver a slower rate than the one being reported. FlexiQ gets two configurations and the other systems get one. That asymmetry is a disclosure, not a thumb on the scale: the default loses badly, a table showing only the tuned figure would hide that, and one showing only the default would hide that the knob exists. The docstring records what the knobs actually do — the constraint is a dispatch channel of num_workers * 2 drained once per poll interval, so the poll interval is the lever and batch size is close to noise beside it.

Each on its own defaults, with the three normalisations applied to everybody: log level, result storage off, and the scenario's concurrency. Celery's gossip, mingle and heartbeat stay on, because they are on for everyone who types `celery worker` and their cost is part of what this measures. Concurrency is where the comparison is leakiest and the runners say so. Four jobs in flight is four prefork children in Celery, four processes in Dramatiq (against its own default of per-core processes times eight threads), and four single-job worker processes in RQ. Matching the scenario is the fairer distortion. Two details that cost a bring-up round each: the CLIs are resolved next to the running interpreter rather than off PATH, because a machine with two virtualenvs otherwise benchmarks the wrong versions; and RQ is enqueued by dotted path, because it pickles a reference and refuses one that lives in __main__ — which is exactly where the handler lives under `python -m`. RQ also gets result_ttl=0 and failure_ttl=0: it is the one system here that stores a result by default, and leaving that on would have it paying for a write the others never make.

The one system that crosses a language boundary, and the one whose worker is not its driver. Its command line mirrors the Python runners exactly so run.py cannot tell them apart. The sink is a hand-kept copy of harness/sink.py: same list name, same three-field record, same one write per job. Duplicated rather than shared, because the alternative is a package boundary across two ecosystems for four lines of code. Two asymmetries stated rather than hidden. BullMQ's producer is Node where the other four are Python, so its enqueue figure carries no cross-language penalty — and neither should it, since a BullMQ user writes JavaScript. And its concurrency is `concurrency` jobs interleaved on one event loop, which is fair for a body that does one Redis write and would not be for a CPU-bound one. Timestamps come from performance.timeOrigin plus performance.now() rather than Date.now(): milliseconds are coarser than the percentiles this harness reports, and both sides have to read the same wall clock for a Python enqueue and a Node completion to be subtractable.

The lockfile is the Node half of what bench/requirements.txt does for Python. A benchmark whose dependencies float measures a different thing every time it runs, and `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` is what the README and the CI job both call.

The document that decides whether anyone believes these numbers. Every decision that could have been made dishonestly is written down so it can be argued with specifically: one shared completion sink that FlexiQ pays for too, stock configuration except for log level, result storage and concurrency, and a no-op body so what is left is the framework's own cost. It also says what the harness does not measure — durability, retries, scheduling, workflows, fan-out, anything about a payload that is not 256 bytes — because two queues can tie here and be entirely different propositions in production. Two things it names as limits rather than leaving to be discovered: the idle column is sampled before a worker has run a job, so it is provisioning cost and not memory retained after a drain; and the paced phase only means anything while nothing queues, which is why the saturation guard exists.

20,000 jobs, a 256-byte payload, concurrency 4, on a 4-core shared cloud VM — which is in the file, because a throughput number without a machine beside it is a rumour. Rerun on hardware you can name before quoting any of it. FlexiQ wins idle memory, by between 1.5x and 4.5x: an embedded queue runs no broker process and no result backend. It is second on enqueue. It loses everything downstream of that. On defaults it clears a backlog at 143.9 jobs/s against BullMQ's 5,584, and its service latency is the worst in the table at both p50 and p99. The two documented knobs take completion to 629.6 jobs/s and p50 to 11.8ms, which is better and still last. Those rows ship because a benchmark FlexiQ wins on every axis reads as a benchmark FlexiQ wrote. This is the loss, measured, with the script that measured it in the commits before this one. Committed separately from the harness so the numbers can be reviewed without a thousand lines of plumbing around them, and so a rerun replaces exactly one commit's content. The 'dirty' flag in the file is true: the docs half of this change was in the working tree while the benchmark ran. It is recorded rather than hidden — those edits touch no code the benchmark executes.

json.dumps escapes non-ASCII by default, so every row label landed in the results file as an escape sequence rather than a readable name. The file is UTF-8 either way; this is about whether a human opening it can read the rows. Both committed copies are re-serialised through the same path, with a round-trip comparison asserting that nothing but the encoding moved. The plan doc follows the convention in tasks/plans/, and records two things worth keeping: the methodology bug that cost the first run, and the fact that the first explanation of FlexiQ's loss blamed the wrong knob.

scripts/sync-bench.mjs narrows bench/results/latest.json to what the chart and the tables need, in the shape scripts/sync-changelog.mjs already established — chained into docs dev and build, so the site cannot drift from the artifact and no figure on it was ever typed by a human. It also rewrites a marked block in the root README, because that is where the performance claim is made and a number typed there by hand goes stale the next time the benchmark runs. A missing marker is a hard error rather than a silent skip. The data lands as JSON with the types hand-written beside it: a generated .ts has to come out byte-identical to whatever biome would format it into, or the docs lint fails on a file nobody edited. Two fields exist so that no surface can quietly print queueing delay as service latency — `saturated`, and the burst p99 kept alongside the paced one.

Four panels rather than one chart: jobs per second, milliseconds and megabytes do not share an axis, and putting them on one would be the dual-axis lie. Each panel is a single measure with its own scale that says out loud which direction is good. FlexiQ's rows carry the brand hue and every other system a neutral — the subject against the field, not a ranking. That neutral sits deliberately below the chroma floor a categorical palette would want, because these are not competing identities; the pairing was checked for colourblind and normal-vision separation against both theme surfaces, which green-on-teal and green-on-amber both failed. Colour is never the only channel: every bar carries its own value and every row is named. The MDX table exists so that no benchmark figure in the docs is ever typed by a human. It carries two latency columns on purpose — paced service latency, and the burst figure that is really throughput restated — because showing only the second is the mistake it was rebuilt to stop making. Both mark a saturated row rather than printing queueing delay as service time, and both render a null as an em dash: never a zero, never a blank that could be mistaken for one.

The index gains a section answering one more question a reader arrives with: whether any of the speed is real, and what produced the number. ci-bench.yml runs the smoke scenario against all six systems and a Redis service container. No number from it is ever published and the header says so at length: a shared runner has neighbours, a throttled disk and no CPU guarantee, so a throughput figure measured on one describes the runner. What it catches is the part that rots — a runner that no longer starts, or a results file that lands without regenerating what reads it, which would otherwise surface as a stale number on the website rather than a red check. The Python dependencies come from the same pinned requirements the published run used, because a smoke test against a different resolution is a smoke test of something else. Node and the BullMQ runner come from the repo's own composite action, which does the frozen install on the way past.

"A Rust-powered task queue" sat at the top of this file with nothing behind it. There is now a Benchmarks section, and the table inside it is generated into a marked block by scripts/sync-bench.mjs from the committed results — nothing in it is typed by hand, and it cannot go stale without the CI drift check noticing. The prose around the block says the two things a reader needs before quoting any of it: that FlexiQ does not win on every axis and the losing rows are right there, and that these numbers describe one shared cloud VM running a 256-byte no-op, so their own handler's work will dominate all of it.

app.css splits the design system by concern — changelog, diagrams, demos and sdk each have a file — so the benchmark panels get one too rather than being appended to landing.css, which holds the index's own sections. Verified in the built bundle rather than by eye: the prerendered index links one stylesheet and every rule here is in it.

A path filter, an output, a decide line and a job, following the shape every other suite in this file uses — plus the entry in the ci-status gate, without which the suite would run, go red, and leave the overall check green. The filter is deliberately not `*shared`: the harness measures the published flexiq wheel pinned in bench/requirements.txt rather than this tree, so an engine change cannot break it. It does watch the generated docs module and the README, because ci-bench.yml regenerates both and diffs the result.

The page carried a "How it compares" table giving flexiq ~55,000/s enqueue against Celery's ~5,000/s, a 3.4ms p99 against Celery's 20-50ms, and ~30 MB idle against ~80 MB — attributed to "public benchmarks and community reports", which is to say nobody ran them and nobody could reproduce them. It was the first thing a sceptical reader found, and #824 exists because of it. It is now rendered from bench/results/latest.json by a component, so a figure that is not in the artifact cannot appear on the page. The measured table says something quite different: FlexiQ wins idle memory by a wide margin and is competitive on enqueue, then comes last on completion throughput and last on service latency at both p50 and p99. Two latency columns, because they answer different questions. p50/p99 come from the paced phase and are what one caller waits. "p99 burst" is the same measurement with 20,000 jobs in flight, where it is dominated by the queue in front of each job — reported as what it is, because the gap between the two is the most instructive number here. The section explaining the loss names the real cause: a dispatch channel of num_workers * 2 drained once per poll interval, with no completion wake because that wake is keyed to a limit the pool never reaches. Not scheduler_batch_size, which the page had always recommended first and which moves the default from 131 to 150 jobs/s. "Why it's fast" claimed eight components made it fast and is now "Where the speed actually is", with a column for what each one does not buy. The Rust levers table is corrected for the same reason: it pointed a reader at the batch size. The sample outputs stay, marked illustrative rather than measured, and the self-benchmark at the top stays — it is the number that actually matters for any given reader.

Three box-drawing rules in the sample came through a few characters short. The sample is pre-existing content and should arrive untouched.

Keep reset and measurement failures inside the per-system handler.

reset() runs before the current try block. Redis failures during reset therefore abort the run. During measure(), run_json() can raise subprocess.TimeoutExpired or json.JSONDecodeError, and sink operations can raise redis.RedisError. These exceptions escape the loop, so main() does not reach report.write and completed rows are not persisted.

🛡️ Proposed fix

import argparse +import json import os import shutil +import subprocess import sys import time @@ - reset(client, system, args.redis_url, workdir) try: + reset(client, system, args.redis_url, workdir) results[name] = measure(system, scenario, client, env, logs) - except (Failed, WorkerDied, sink.DrainTimeout, RuntimeError) as err: + except ( + RuntimeError, + subprocess.SubprocessError, + redis.RedisError, + json.JSONDecodeError, + OSError, + ) as err: print(f" failed: {err}", file=sys.stderr, flush=True)

In `@bench/run.py` around lines 339 - 342, Move reset() into the per-system try block containing measure() so reset failures are handled without aborting the run. Update the exception handling around reset and measure to catch subprocess failures, Redis errors, JSON decoding errors, and OS errors in addition to the existing failures, allowing main() to write reports and preserve completed results.

`pnpm --dir docs dev` on a cold node_modules/.vite dies with TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'useContext') at useFrameworkContext ... at Meta preceded by React's "Invalid hook call" warning. Reproduced on master at 47de417, so it predates this branch; it is here because it is four lines and anyone running the docs locally hits it. Vite discovers lucide-react, minisearch and @mdx-js/react partway through the initial crawl, re-optimises and reloads — twice. A page that loads across one of those boundaries ends up holding modules from two optimiser generations, which means two copies of React, and the first hook call dies on a null dispatcher. It self-heals on the next reload, which is why it only bites on a cold cache and why the build was never affected. Naming the three in optimizeDeps.include settles the optimiser in one pass. Verified by loading the page with a real browser on a cleared cache: before, the first load raised the error and rendered nothing; after, no re-optimisation is logged and the first load renders.

It pointed at /more/examples/benchmark. That page is shared content served under every SDK tier — /python/more/examples/benchmark and its three siblings — so the unprefixed path matches no route and lands on 'Page not found'. Now built from the active SDK, the same way the footer and the scenario finder do it, so the reader stays in the tier they are already reading. It is also a react-router <Link> rather than a bare anchor, which is what every other internal link on this page uses; an <a> was forcing a full document load. The two GitHub links beside it gain target/rel, matching the footer's treatment of external links. Verified by clicking it in a browser: it resolves to /python/more/examples/benchmark and the page renders, and the prerendered index carries the same href.

docs: restore the exact comment rules in the Python sample

170f68d

Three box-drawing rules in the sample came through a few characters short. The sample is pre-existing content and should arrive untouched.

docs: the plan doc was wrong about the remote's authorship

a3c1757

It claimed the API-written commits carried the API account as author. They carry pratyush618, same as the local series — checked against the commits on the branch rather than assumed.
