Motivation

This adds basic benchmarks for listing and counting archived workflows so we can evaluate potential optimizations, e.g. #13601

Modifications

There weren't any other benchmarks in this repo that I could find, so these are the first. By default, go test doesn't run benchmarks unless you supply the -bench flag, so I added a make Benchmark% target for that.

I had to make some adjustments to test/e2e/fixtures/persistence.go so it exposed WorkflowArchive for these tests.

Due to stretchr/testify#811, we can't directly use testify to run these, so I used a workaround.

Verification

Ran make BenchmarkWorkflowArchive locally after using #13715 to insert 100,000 rows into argo_archived_workflows:

@MasonM This is on my TODO to test out and approve.

Not really related to this PR: It would be nice if the benchmark results were a displayed on PRs as a comment so reviewers can more easily review performance impacts of the PR, it would be some effort to properly get this into CI I'm guessing.

MasonM added a commit to MasonM/argo-workflows that referenced this pull request Oct 17, 2024
With PostgreSQL, the `argo_archived_workflows.workflow` column has been
of type `json` ever since 8a1e611,
which was released as v2.5.0. Therefore, the `::json` casts do nothing,
and prevent users from improving performance by migrating to JSONB using the following query:
```sql
alter table argo_archived_workflows alter column workflow set data type jsonb using workflow::jsonb
```

Without the changes in this PR, running the above will massively slow
down the queries, because casting JSONB to JSON is expensive. With the
changes in this PR, it improves performance by ~80%, which I determined
by running the benchmarks added in
argoproj#13767 against a DB with
100,000 randomly generated workflows generated by
argoproj#13715:

The only downside to migrating to JSONB is it can take a long time
if you've got a ton of workflows (~72s on my local DB with 100,000
workflows). I'll enter a separate PR for the migration, but I'm entering
this change separately so it can hopefully go out in 3.6.0.

…j#13601

As explained in
argoproj#13601 (comment),
I believe argoproj#12912
introduced a performance regression when listing workflows for
PostgreSQL users. Reverting that PR could re-introduce the memory issues
mentioned in the PR description, so instead this mitigates the impact by
converting the `workflow` column to be of type `jsonb`.

Initially `workflow` was of type `text`, and was migrated to `json` in
argoproj#2152. I'm not sure why
`jsonb` wasn't chosen, but [based on this comment in the linked
issue](argoproj#2133 (comment)),
I think it was simply an oversight. Here's the relevant docs
(https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/datatype-json.html):

> The json and jsonb data types accept almost identical sets of values as input. The major practical difference is one of efficiency. The json data type stores an exact copy of the input text, which processing functions must reparse on each execution; while jsonb data is stored in a decomposed binary format that makes it slightly slower to input due to added conversion overhead, but significantly faster to process, since no reparsing is needed. jsonb also supports indexing, which can be a significant advantage.
>
> Because the json type stores an exact copy of the input text, it will preserve semantically-insignificant white space between tokens, as well as the order of keys within JSON objects. Also, if a JSON object within the value contains the same key more than once, all the key/value pairs are kept. (The processing functions consider the last value as the operative one.) By contrast, jsonb does not preserve white space, does not preserve the order of object keys, and does not keep duplicate object keys. If duplicate keys are specified in the input, only the last value is kept.
>
> In general, most applications should prefer to store JSON data as jsonb, unless there are quite specialized needs, such as legacy assumptions about ordering of object keys.

I'm pretty sure we don't care about key order or whitespace. We do care
somewhat about insertion speed, but archived workflows are read much
more frequently than written, so a slight reduction in write speed that
gives a large improvement in read speed is a good tradeoff.

Here's steps to test this:
1. Use argoproj#13715 to generate 100,000 randomized workflows, with https://gist.github.com/MasonM/52932ff6644c3c0ccea9e847780bfd90 as a template:

     ```
     $ time go run ./hack/db fake-archived-workflows  --template "@very-large-workflow.yaml" --rows 100000
     Using seed 1935828722624432788
     Clusters: [default]
     Namespaces: [argo]
     Inserted 100000 rows

     user    3m2.447s
     sys     0m44.972s
     ```
2. Run the benchmarks using argoproj#13767:
    ```
    make BenchmarkWorkflowArchive > postgres_before_10000_workflows.txt
    ```
3. Run the migration the DB CLI:
    ```
    $ time go run ./hack/db migrate
