Pattern

Request Stall from Concurrency

connection-capacity-queueing

A recurring concurrency bottleneck where queued/stalled requests arise after a small burst, leading to inconsistent results and eventual service unresponsiveness until connection capacity is available.

As long as you lock more than a single thing at a time, you risk deadlocks. — lock more than a single thing at a time. Tension: You hold B waiting for A, they hold A waiting for B. Outcome: one of you has to abort or you're stuck.

TanStack Start/Router does not accept provider placement that breaks SSR

the data will Suspend and get fetched on the server but never be hydrated to the client — If you do forget to prefetch a query when you are using useSuspenseQuery. Tension: the consequences will depend on the framework you are using.

A component suspended while responding to synchronous input

Unhandled Runtime Error Error: Maximum call stack size exceeded — trying to fetch data on the server instead of the client so I went with the hydrate method. Tension: worked fine fetching on client. Outcome: same result.

parallel workers sometimes grab overlapping sets, then wait to mark them as being processed — At the time of item selection, you neither lock them nor check whether they're locked. Tension: someone else could've already grabbed a subset of those. Outcome: duplicate their work on the items they happened to share.

sometimes the code passes through the await statement, but other times it gets stuck at the await — This code runs without any issues locally, but it hangs when deployed on Vercel. Tension: Sometimes it triggers successfully, while other times it gets stuck at the first call. Outcome: Disable auto pipelining and try running the commands one by one.

Requests from a Next.js app to Vercel Postgres intermittently fail with unpredictable results and no clear error messages, even though the same SQL queries work reliably when run directly in the database.

the cache doesn't work across processes — workers might be pre-forked. Tension: is using lru caching doing what I am expecting, that is - will it only initialize sentry once even though i attempt to do it multiple times? Outcome: provided it's called within the same process.

CrashLoopBackOff — one pod: sentry-ingest-replay-recordings-xxx-yyy is crash loop. Tension: Broker: Unknown topic or partition. Outcome: After last upgrade to chart sentry-18.0.0, app version 23.3.1.

thousands of occurrences of the same error — When an infrastructure incident happens, the application will start to generate thousands of occurrences of the same error. Tension: avoid depleting the error quota. Outcome: Yes, there are multiple solutions to this common problem.

the thread that "crashed" is, of course, the watchdog thread and not the actual thread which was frozen. Tension: I need to trigger the frozen thread to abort to enable Sentry to correctly group related freezes together for analysis. Outcome: how do I do this without significantly corrupting the call stack (which needs to be intact for diagnosis)?

after a few hundred requests. Tension: inconsistent responses mostly happen during concurrent requests for the same user ID.

sqlite3.OperationalError: database is locked. — I trigger `/session_a` and `/session_b` almost simultaneously. Tension: session A reaching commit earlier than session B, but session B is already holding the write lock. Outcome: A will inevitably fail with a database is locked error.

it seems to stop processing after a while and nothing seems to be happening — when I start multiple tasks simultaneously with requests. Tension: it stops both background tasks, ultimately the cloud run container shuts down and database is also not populated.

the two requests are executed "in parallel." — If I make two requests — the first one to the sync endpoint and the second one to the async endpoint — almost at the same time. Tension: I expected the event loop to be blocked. Outcome: the two requests are executed "in parallel.".

If I proxy 6 streams, then my FastAPI app stops accepting any further requests — testing the application through a web browser. Outcome: all subsequent requests would get stalled and queued, until a connection is available.

The idea is to update this model once hourly without blocking the API's ability to respond. Tension: update this model once hourly without blocking the API's ability to respond to CPU-bound tasks. Outcome: this is all good.

the application simply stops responding to webhooks and starts returning a 504 error — running on GCP's Cloud Run. Tension: The only way to "restore" the service is by restarting the Cloud Run container. Outcome: The last message is "Instantiating PubSub client...", then the POD stucks.

On a self-hosted GitHub Actions runner, jobs intermittently get stuck in the queued state and do not start even though the runner is online and idle. This happens randomly on various workflow steps/jobs.

the processing of the webhook event payload to fail once (or more) — handling Stripe webhooks. Tension: wait some time during which the organization gets created, and then retry the operation. Outcome: this would allow for the processing of the webhook event payload to fail once (or more), wait some time during which the organization gets created, and then retry the operation.

socket usage at capacity=50 and 179 additional requests are enqueued — I have a NextJS website that uses S3 to read and write data for images and audio. Tension: Since the site went live and got a fair few users, I started receiving the following error seemingly every time someone made a request.

Timeout waiting for connection from pool. Tension: Task 4217 in stage 4.0 failed 4 times. Outcome: Job aborted due to stage failure.

heavy parallel inserts (INSERT INTO ... SELECT ...) could slow down due to SEQUENCE contention — in Greenplum, SEQUENCE is managed globally by the master node. Tension: multiple segments request new IDs in parallel.

Postgres gives me no warning after the interval expired. Tension: What is the difference with triggering a check, and this check constraint? Outcome: At any rate, remove the buggy check constraint.

the first attempt to creata a connection is always falis with a timeout — initialize my pool with 5 connections in my .net6 application using postgres and Npgsql. Tension: first connection attempt or a connection after a longer period would immediately time out.

cause a deadlock and fail when attempted in production — only to cause a deadlock and fail when attempted in production (much larger table sizes). Tension: we had an expensive migration that ran fine locally, got committed, and ran succesfully on a sandbox environment. Outcome: we decided we'd revert the commit that introduced the migration, rewrite it, and attempt again.

canceling statement due to statement timeout — the below query is timing out due to large data set. Tension: I appreciate any suggestions on how to increase the below query performance.

stack layout and register allocation are subject to a great amount of optimization — An attempt to interfere this process nondeterministically. Tension: benchmarks will become useless. Outcome: nondeterministic performance.

HTTP request keeps accepting data after the size limit is exceeded, wasting server resources
