Replaced strings.Builder with bytes.Buffer because strings.Builder.Reset() discards its capacity, defeating the purpose of pooling.

But speed without correctness is useless. Measure, optimize, verify. **If you can't find a clear performance win today, stop and do not create a PR.** + + +## $(date +%Y-%m-%d) - Optimize bytes.Buffer for request/response logging +**Learning:** In switchAILocal, `bytes.Buffer` is used for accumulating upstream API request and response logs. The codebase repeatedly instantiates `&bytes.Buffer{}` for these logs in high-traffic paths like `recordAPIRequest` and during log aggregation (`updateAggregatedRequest`, `updateAggregatedResponse`). The previous attempt to use `sync.Pool` with `strings.Builder` was an anti-pattern in Go because `strings.Builder.Reset()` explicitly discards the underlying byte buffer (`b.buf = nil`), trading away stack allocation for `sync.Pool` overhead with zero real memory savings. `bytes.Buffer.Reset()`, on the other hand, retains its capacity for reuse. +**Action:** Introduced a `sync.Pool` for `*bytes.Buffer` in `internal/runtime/executor/logging_helpers.go`. Acquired buffers via `byteBufferPool.Get()` and returned them via a custom `putByteBuffer(b)` function that enforces a maximum capacity check (e.g., `b.Cap() <= 128 * 1024`) to prevent permanent memory bloat from occasional massive payloads. Replaced local variable declarations with this pooled buffer pattern, properly reducing memory allocations in the hot logging paths. diff --git a/internal/runtime/executor/logging_helpers.go b/internal/runtime/executor/logging_helpers.go index 652e9628..a402351f 100644 --- a/internal/runtime/executor/logging_helpers.go +++ b/internal/runtime/executor/logging_helpers.go @@ -60,10 +60,29 @@ type upstreamRequestLog struct { AuthValue string } +var byteBufferPool = sync.Pool{ + New: func() interface{} { + return &bytes.Buffer{} + }, +} + +func getByteBuffer() *bytes.Buffer { + b := byteBufferPool.Get().(*bytes.Buffer) + b.Reset() + return b +} + +func putByteBuffer(b *bytes.Buffer) { + if b.Cap() > 128*1024 { + return + } + byteBufferPool.Put(b) +} + type upstreamAttempt struct { index int request string - response *strings.Builder + response *bytes.Buffer responseIntroWritten bool statusWritten bool headersWritten bool @@ -94,7 +113,8 @@ func recordAPIRequest(ctx context.Context, cfg *config.Config, info upstreamRequ attempts := getAttempts(ginCtx) index := len(attempts) + 1 - builder := &strings.Builder{} + builder := getByteBuffer() + defer putByteBuffer(builder) builder.WriteString(fmt.Sprintf("=== API REQUEST %d ===\n", index)) builder.WriteString(fmt.Sprintf("Timestamp: %s\n", time.Now().Format(time.RFC3339Nano))) if info.URL != "" { @@ -121,7 +141,7 @@ func recordAPIRequest(ctx context.Context, cfg *config.Config, info upstreamRequ attempt := &upstreamAttempt{ index: index, request: builder.String(), - response: &strings.Builder{}, + response: &bytes.Buffer{}, } attempts = append(attempts, attempt) ginCtx.Set(apiAttemptsKey, attempts) @@ -145,7 +165,8 @@ func (s *LoggingStore) RecordRequest(info upstreamRequestLog) { defer s.mu.Unlock() index := len(s.attempts) + 1 - builder := &strings.Builder{} + builder := getByteBuffer() + defer putByteBuffer(builder) builder.WriteString(fmt.Sprintf("=== API REQUEST %d ===\n", index)) builder.WriteString(fmt.Sprintf("Timestamp: %s\n", time.Now().Format(time.RFC3339Nano))) if info.URL != "" { @@ -170,7 +191,7 @@ func (s *LoggingStore) RecordRequest(info upstreamRequestLog) { attempt := &upstreamAttempt{ index: index, request: builder.String(), - response: &strings.Builder{}, + response: &bytes.Buffer{}, } s.attempts = append(s.attempts, attempt) } @@ -212,7 +233,7 @@ func (s *LoggingStore) AppendResponseChunk(chunk []byte) { s.attempts = append(s.attempts, &upstreamAttempt{ index: 1, request: "=== API REQUEST 1 ===\n\n\n", - response: &strings.Builder{}, + response: &bytes.Buffer{}, }) } attempt := s.attempts[len(s.attempts)-1] @@ -411,7 +432,7 @@ func ensureAttempt(ginCtx *gin.Context) ([]*upstreamAttempt, *upstreamAttempt) { attempt := &upstreamAttempt{ index: 1, request: "=== API REQUEST 1 ===\n\n\n", - response: &strings.Builder{}, + response: &bytes.Buffer{}, } attempts = []*upstreamAttempt{attempt} ginCtx.Set(apiAttemptsKey, attempts) @@ -434,18 +455,20 @@ func updateAggregatedRequest(ginCtx *gin.Context, attempts []*upstreamAttempt) { if ginCtx == nil { return } - var builder strings.Builder + builder := getByteBuffer() + defer putByteBuffer(builder) for _, attempt := range attempts { builder.WriteString(attempt.request) } - ginCtx.Set(apiRequestKey, []byte(builder.String())) + ginCtx.Set(apiRequestKey, bytes.Clone(builder.Bytes())) } func updateAggregatedResponse(ginCtx *gin.Context, attempts []*upstreamAttempt) { if ginCtx == nil { return } - var builder strings.Builder + builder := getByteBuffer() + defer putByteBuffer(builder) for idx, attempt := range attempts { if attempt == nil || attempt.response == nil { continue @@ -462,10 +485,10 @@ func updateAggregatedResponse(ginCtx *gin.Context, attempts []*upstreamAttempt) builder.WriteString("\n") } } - ginCtx.Set(apiResponseKey, []byte(builder.String())) + ginCtx.Set(apiResponseKey, bytes.Clone(builder.Bytes())) } -func writeHeaders(builder *strings.Builder, headers http.Header) { +func writeHeaders(builder *bytes.Buffer, headers http.Header) { if builder == nil { return }
