g5 cutover: bigger load test — 5.87M req, 0 errors, 370MB RSS

Larger-scale follow-up to the original load test. Three axis
expansions: corpus 200→5K workers, body variety 6→200 distinct
queries, concurrency sweep 10/50/100/200, plus mixed
embed+search workload.

Concurrency sweep on /v1/matrix/search direct (3 min each):
  conc=10:  486,733 req  · 2,704 RPS · p50 2.19ms · p99 6.7ms
  conc=50:  1,148,543 req · 6,381 RPS · p50 7.08ms · p99 20ms
  conc=100: 1,253,389 req · 6,963 RPS · p50 13.34ms · p99 37ms
  conc=200: 1,460,676 req · 8,114 RPS · p50 23.45ms · p99 56ms

Mixed embed+search at 60 conc each, 90s:
  /v1/embed: 1,127,854 req · 12,531 RPS · p50 3.31ms · p99 14.6ms
  /v1/matrix/search: 392,229 req · 4,358 RPS · p50 12.68ms · p99 33.8ms

TOTAL: 5,869,424 requests across ~13.5 minutes. ZERO errors.

Resource footprint during peak load:
  matrixd  105% CPU, 33MB RSS (bottleneck — pegs 1 core)
  vectord   39% CPU, 82MB RSS
  gateway   44% CPU, 41MB RSS
  embedd    30% CPU, 67MB RSS
  Total RSS across 11 daemons: ~370MB

Compare to Rust gateway under similar load: 14.9GB RSS, 374% CPU.
Go uses ~40x less memory + spreads load across daemons rather
than packing into one mega-process.

Saturation analysis:
- conc 10→50: +135% RPS (linear-ish scaling)
- conc 50→100: +9% RPS (saturation begins)
- conc 100→200: +17% RPS (matrixd 1-core pegged)

Headroom paths if production exceeds current demand:
1. Run multiple matrixd instances behind a load balancer.
   Substrate is stateless (recordings via storaged), horizontal
   scale is straightforward.
2. Profile matrixd's per-request work (role-gate + judge-eligibility
   + result merge).
3. Skip Bun for hot endpoints (direct nginx → Go = 5.7x previously
   measured).

# G5 cutover slice — bigger load test (5K corpus, 200 bodies, conc-sweep + mixed)
Larger-scale follow-up to `g5_load_test.md`. Three axis expansions:
- **Corpus**: 200 → 5,000 workers
- **Body variety**: 6 → 200 distinct queries (4 styles × 50 fill_events rows)
- **Concurrency sweep**: 10 → 50 → 100 → 200, 3 minutes each
- **Mixed workload**: parallel embed + search at 60 conc each, 90s
All hits are direct to Go gateway on `:4110/v1/matrix/search` and
`:4110/v1/embed` — no Bun frontend in this test (Bun adds proxy
overhead but isn't the substrate's limit).
## Setup
- Persistent Go stack on `:4110+:4211-:4219` (11 daemons, 11h+ uptime
at test time)
- Workers corpus: 5,000 rows from `workers_500k.parquet` (real
production data)
- Search bodies: 200 distinct queries via
`gen_real_queries -limit 50 -styles all` (need / client_first /
looking / shorthand × 50 = 200 unique inputs to stress
the embed cache + matrix retrieve path)
## Concurrency sweep — `/v1/matrix/search` direct
| Conc | Duration | Requests | RPS | p50 | p95 | p99 | max | errors |
|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|

| 50 | 3m | 1,148,543 | **6,381** | 7.08ms | 14.96ms | 20.20ms | 77ms | **0** |

| **Total** | **12 min** | **4,349,341** | — | — | — | — | — | **0** |
## Mixed workload — `/v1/embed` + `/v1/matrix/search` in parallel
| Endpoint | Conc | Duration | Requests | RPS | p50 | p95 | p99 |
|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|
| `/v1/embed` | 60 | 90s | 1,127,854 | 12,531 | 3.31ms | 10.22ms | 14.59ms |
| `/v1/matrix/search` | 60 | 90s | 392,229 | 4,358 | 12.68ms | 26.08ms | 33.78ms |
| **Total** | **120** | **90s** | **1,520,083** | **16,889** | — | — | — |
Both endpoints competing for the same matrixd / vectord / embedd
processes. Zero errors across 1.52M requests in 90s.
## Resource footprint during load (peak observed)
| Daemon | CPU% | RSS | Read |
|---|---:|---:|---|
| persistent-matrixd | 105% | 33MB | bottleneck — pegging 1 core |
| persistent-gateway | 44% | 41MB | proxy + auth |
| persistent-vectord | 39% | 82MB | HNSW search |
| persistent-embedd | 30% | 67MB | embed cache + Ollama bridge |
| persistent-storaged | 0.1% | 22MB | idle (read-mostly) |
| (5 other daemons) | ~0% | ~25MB each | idle |
| **Total** | — | **~370MB** | across all 11 daemons |
Compare to Rust gateway during similar load earlier today:
**14.9GB RSS, 374% CPU**. **Go uses ~40× less memory** + 4× less
CPU concentration (Go spreads load across daemons; Rust packs
into one mega-process).
## Aggregate
| Metric | Value |
|---|---:|
| Total requests | **5,869,424** |
| Total wall time | ~13.5 minutes |
| Errors (any kind) | **0** |
| Peak RSS across all 11 daemons | ~370MB |
**5.87 million requests, zero errors.** This is the substrate's
production-readiness signal at scale.
## What scales, what saturates
### RPS scaling (search):
- 10 → 50 conc: +135% RPS, +224% p50 latency. Sub-linear scaling
is expected (Little's law + Go's GMP scheduler context-switching).
- 50 → 100 conc: +9% RPS, +88% p50 latency. **Saturation begins.**
- 100 → 200 conc: +17% RPS, +76% p50 latency. **Saturation point**:
matrixd is at ~105% CPU (1 core pegged); doubling concurrency
past 100 adds queue depth, not throughput.
### What saturates:
- **matrixd** is the bottleneck at conc=100+. Pegs one CPU core.
- **vectord** at 39% has headroom — HNSW search is fast.
- **embedd** at 30% has headroom — cache hit rate is high (200 bodies
× millions of requests means everything stays in 4096-cap LRU).
### Headroom paths (if you ever need more throughput):
1. **Run multiple matrixd instances** behind a load balancer.
Substrate is stateless (recordings persist via storaged), so
horizontal scale is straightforward.
2. **Optimize matrixd's per-request work** — role-gate + judge-eligibility
+ result merge. Hot path could be profile-guided.
3. **Skip Bun for hot endpoints** — direct nginx → Go shaved
5.7× from the original load test.
## What this load test does NOT cover
- **Cold-cache embed** — 200 bodies × LRU cap 4096 = 100% cache
hit rate after first round. Cold workloads (every query unique)
would bottleneck on Ollama at ~30-50ms/embed.
- **Sustained for hours** — 12 minutes per endpoint. Memory/file-handle
leaks would surface over multi-hour runs.
- **Real coordinator demand patterns** — bodies rotated round-robin;
real workloads would have arrival-rate variability and burst
patterns.
- **Cross-daemon failure** — what happens if vectord crashes
mid-query? Smoke tests cover restart, but in-flight failure
recovery wasn't exercised.
## Repro
```bash
# Stack must be up:
./scripts/cutover/start_go_stack.sh
# Ingest 5K workers (~3 min):
./bin/staffing_workers -limit 5000 -gateway http://127.0.0.1:4110 -drop=true
# Generate 200-body search file:
go run ./scripts/cutover/gen_real_queries -limit 50 -styles all > /tmp/big_test_queries.txt
# (then convert to JSON bodies — see this doc for the python3 conversion snippet)
# Concurrency sweep:
for conc in 10 50 100 200; do
./bin/loadgen -url http://127.0.0.1:4110/v1/matrix/search \
-bodies-file /tmp/big_search_bodies.txt \
-concurrency $conc -duration 180s
done
# Mixed:
./bin/loadgen -url http://127.0.0.1:4110/v1/embed \
-bodies-file /tmp/embed_bodies.txt \
-concurrency 60 -duration 90s &
./bin/loadgen -url http://127.0.0.1:4110/v1/matrix/search \
-bodies-file /tmp/big_search_bodies.txt \
-concurrency 60 -duration 90s &
wait
```
## Conclusion
The Go substrate handles 5.87 million requests across 13 minutes with
zero errors, ~370MB total RSS, and matrixd as the visible bottleneck
at concurrency-100+. Production-ready at well above any
staffing-domain demand level (<1 RPS typical per coordinator, <100 RPS
even with hundreds of coordinators concurrent).
The matrixd-saturates pattern is operationally good news: you know
exactly which daemon to scale first if/when you grow past current
demand. Substrate is well-shaped for horizontal growth.
