feat: Refactor loading of snapshots #20632

benjackwhite · 2024-02-29T10:54:00Z

Problem

This is a beefier refactor than I initially intended... but i think its worth it.

Primarily I needed to be able to control the parsing better so that v3 realtime snapshots would be loaded just like blob ones.
This led me down a bit of a rabbit hole in the logic where I realised it is pretty fragile and we could make much better use of separating out loaders and selectors

Changes

Moves the initial list of sources to its own loader
Separate loader for loading specific sources which reduces to a cached obejct (no more in flight merging of data)
Selector to merge all the snapshots from the various sources (much easier to reason on and should perform better
Polling simplified as well
Changed the Player logic to react to changes in the state rather than listening to specific events (again should be easier to reason on later)
Fixed v3 realtime loading so that it parses it like blob data as it is streamed the same way
Added Etag management (so cool) which means once the browser has a cache of the realtime data, we will only transfer it again if the actual data changes

TODO

Confirm that there isn't any unneeded re computation going on for big recordings

How did you test this code?

Still need to update the tests

long overdue improvement...

@daibhin I suggested we should pick this up to get it over the line... I'll chop out a few pieces while I get my head around it to get started

e.g. #20767

daibhin · 2024-03-07T17:48:28Z

@pauldambra great idea! I was actually holding off some work on our performance timing until this went through to see if it fixed the weird P99 issues. Happy to help out

This PR hasn't seen activity in a week! Should it be merged, closed, or further worked on? If you want to keep it open, post a comment or remove the stale label – otherwise this will be closed in another week.

Could we check that the number of sources and the snapshots by source counts are the same e.g.

I've shipped some smaller parts of this change in previous PRs and did a thorough review today. It's pretty difficult to review 100% but I'm fairly confident it does what it's intended to. My plan is to test it locally but think it's probably worth shipping at this point and following up with any fixes forward we need.

@benjackwhite is there anything you'd like to do before we ship? There's still a few TODOs knocking about

I just don't have any spare capacity for it so its fully in your hands

            ])
        })

-        it('can start polling for snapshots', async () => {
+        it('polls up to a max threshold', async () => {


🤯 I've just realised that the polling shouldn't trigger loading state in the logic - we don't want the loading affordances in the UI when we poll.

Totally separate to this, reading the code back made me realise

pauldambra · 2024-04-16T12:47:36Z

+                    const params = {
+                        source: source.source,
+                        blob_key: source.blob_key,
+                        version: values.featureFlags[FEATURE_FLAGS.SESSION_REPLAY_V3_INGESTION_PLAYBACK] ? '3' : '2',


and I think we can delete all the v3 stuff since that experiment is over

pauldambra

ran locally and I can load blob and realtime sources
