Performance Considerations ​

  • Connection pooling
    • Redis: tune PoolSize, MinIdleConns, MaxIdleConns, PoolTimeout, ConnMaxIdleTime, ConnMaxLifetime.
    • GORM/MySQL: configure MaxOpenConns, MaxIdleConns, ConnMaxLifetime, ConnMaxIdleTime.
    • StarRocks (Python): adjust pool_size, connection timeouts, and reset session behavior.
  • Keepalive and retries
    • gRPC keepalive reduces idle connection churn; service config retry improves resilience for transient errors.
  • TLS overhead
    • Enable TLS only when required; pre-load certificates to avoid repeated I/O.
  • Logging and observability
    • Use Kratos logging middleware for structured logs; enable tracing for distributed visibility.
  • Result formatting
    • Prefer raw results for large datasets; use pandas conversion only when needed.

Troubleshooting Guide ​

  • Authentication gRPC client
    • Verify token failures: confirm endpoint resolution and service availability.
    • Permission checks returning unexpected results: ensure tenant ID alignment and user mapping.
  • gRPC client factory
    • Connection refused: validate endpoint, service discovery, and network policies.
    • Timeouts: increase Timeout and adjust keepalive parameters.
    • Retries ineffective: ensure ServiceConfig is applied and status codes match retry policy.
  • Redis client
    • Ping fails: check network, credentials, and TLS settings; verify CA and client cert paths.
    • Sentinel/cluster misconfiguration: confirm addresses, master name, and routing options.
  • GORM client
    • Connection failures: validate DSN, host/port, and TLS certificates; ensure StarRocks optimizations are applied.
    • Pool exhaustion: increase MaxOpenConns and tune idle settings.
  • HTTP SDK helper
    • Signature mismatches: ensure AppSecret correctness and parameter ordering.
    • API errors: inspect returned error code and message; check BaseURL and AccessToken.
  • Neo4j client
    • Driver import missing: install neo4j package; verify credentials and connectivity.
    • Lazy initialization failure: client remains None; handle gracefully and retry later.
  • StarRocks client
    • Connection lost: automatic reset occurs; monitor pool exhaustion and reconnect attempts.
    • ADBC health check failures: recreate connection and switch default database if needed.

Rate Limiting and Graceful Degradation ​
