From bbd2493b34d9353b607b77018a0a9a53868a785f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: philippe Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2026 12:23:55 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/7] Add platform performance benchmark harness, CI job, and profiling docs MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit A standalone benchmark harness for the renderer's hot paths, kept out of the pytest suite on purpose: timing is noisy, so it reports rather than flaking the test matrix. - benchmarks/scenarios.py: 10 scenarios across the platform - initial/​deep hydration, Patch append (top-level + nested), scalar Patch update, full-list replacement (contrast), callback fan-out, ALL-wildcard resolution, and a deep callback chain. Each is a real Dash app + a browser-side interaction with warn/fail thresholds. - benchmarks/run.py: runs each scenario in its own bench_app subprocess against the production bundle, driven by headless Chrome. Timings use in-page performance.now() (no selenium-poll latency), aggregated as median/p90/max plus a growth ratio (late vs early per-op time) that flags O(total) creep. Also gates against a committed baseline and CPU-profiles a scenario (--profile) into a .cpuprofile + a hottest-functions table. - benchmarks/baseline.json: reference numbers on ubuntu-latest-class hardware. - .github/workflows/benchmarks.yml: PR job that builds the production renderer, runs the harness vs the baseline, hard-fails only on an order-of-magnitude regression, warns (without failing) on smaller drift, and upserts a sticky PR comment with the results table. - .ai/PERFORMANCE.md: how to run, how to profile, and the findings - including that ALL/MATCH wildcard resolution is O(n^2) (linear deep-equals getPath over the objs table; a hash index would make it O(1)), that post-fix Patch append has no single hotspot left, and that layouts deeper than ~250 fail to serialize. Removes the earlier pytest timing guards (tests/integration/renderer/ test_patch_append_perf.py); that coverage now lives in the harness + CI job. --- .ai/PERFORMANCE.md | 150 ++++++++++ .github/workflows/benchmarks.yml | 121 ++++++++ CLAUDE.md | 1 + benchmarks/.gitignore | 5 + benchmarks/README.md | 41 +++ benchmarks/__init__.py | 1 + benchmarks/baseline.json | 118 ++++++++ benchmarks/bench_app.py | 37 +++ benchmarks/run.py | 453 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ benchmarks/scenarios.py | 466 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 10 files changed, 1393 insertions(+) create mode 100644 .ai/PERFORMANCE.md create mode 100644 .github/workflows/benchmarks.yml create mode 100644 benchmarks/.gitignore create mode 100644 benchmarks/README.md create mode 100644 benchmarks/__init__.py create mode 100644 benchmarks/baseline.json create mode 100644 benchmarks/bench_app.py create mode 100644 benchmarks/run.py create mode 100644 benchmarks/scenarios.py diff --git a/.ai/PERFORMANCE.md b/.ai/PERFORMANCE.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..ab2541bc43 --- /dev/null +++ b/.ai/PERFORMANCE.md @@ -0,0 +1,150 @@ +# Performance: benchmarks, profiling, and findings + +Dash's user-visible speed lives almost entirely in the **renderer** (client-side +hydration, callback dispatch, Patch application).

Wildcard (ALL / MATCH) resolution is O(n²) — the top opportunity + +Profiling `wildcard_all_resolve` (one input change, `Output({...: ALL})` over +400 components) puts ~45% of the time in ramda `_equals` + `_functionName` and +another chunk in `keys` / `_assoc` / `type`. Root cause: `getPath` for a +pattern-matching (dict) id does a **linear** `find(propEq(values, 'values'), +keyPaths)` over every component sharing that id shape +(`dash/dash-renderer/src/actions/paths.js`), and `propEq` is a **deep-equality** +on the id-values array. During an `ALL` resolution `getPath` is called per +component, so it is O(N) lookups × O(N) scan × O(k) equals ≈ **O(N²·k)**. + +Optimization not yet taken: index `paths.objs[keyStr]` by a hash of the values +(e.g. a `JSON.stringify(values)` key) so `getPath` is O(1). That turns wildcard +resolution from O(N²) into O(N). Left as a follow-up because it touches the +paths table shape that several call sites read. + +### 2. Patch append (post-fix) has no single hotspot + +After the [[nested append fix]], profiling `patch_append_nested` shows the cost +spread across ramda `_path`/curry internals, React reconciliation, and redux +`useSelector` snapshots - the inherent O(total) *cheap* traversal (persistence +walk + callback crawl + element mapping), not the O(total) *re-hydration* that +the fix removed. There is no dominant frame to cut; flattening it further means +making those three traversals skip byref-unchanged subtrees (a bigger change). + +### 3. Full children replacement is the O(total) baseline + +`full_children_replace` grows ~18x across a run and is ~15x slower than the +equivalent `Patch().extend()`. This is expected and is the reason `Patch` +exists for growing containers; it is kept as a contrast with loose thresholds. + +### 4. Layouts deeper than ~250 nested components fail to serialize + +`/_dash-layout` raises "Recursion limit reached" (the JSON encoder's recursion +limit) for a component tree nested deeper than ~254. The `deep_nesting` +scenario is capped at 120 to stay clear. Worth remembering before recommending +deeply-recursive layouts. diff --git a/.github/workflows/benchmarks.yml b/.github/workflows/benchmarks.yml new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..0f5d7f2bc5 --- /dev/null +++ b/.github/workflows/benchmarks.yml @@ -0,0 +1,121 @@ +name: Performance Benchmarks + +# Separate from the test suite on purpose: these are timing benchmarks, so they +# use generous thresholds and report rather than flake the test matrix.

The paths table now carries `objIndex`: {[keyStr]: {[valuesKey]: path}} where valuesKey is JSON.stringify(values), so getPath is an O(1) map lookup. The ordered `objs` array is untouched (resolveDeps / getAllPMCIds still walk it in order for MATCH/ALLSMALLER); objIndex is only for exact lookups. It is maintained inline in computePaths - copy-on-write per keyStr, so re-resolving one chunk doesn't rebuild the index for unrelated components - and extended incrementally in appendPaths. A table without an index (initial empty state, hand-built test fixture) makes getPath fall back to the linear scan, so the two can never disagree. Result on the benchmark: wildcard_all_resolve ~580ms -> ~140ms (~4x, isolated), with the _equals/_functionName frames gone from the profile. Renderer unit suite 55/55; integration green across test_wildcards, multiple_callbacks, layout_paths_with_callbacks, basic_callback, patch, children_reorder (69).

Resolving a wildcard dispatch looked up each component's path with a linear deep-equality scan over every component sharing the id's key set, so resolving an `ALL` callback over N components was O(N²).

The renderer keyed the connection on the mere presence of WebSocket infrastructure (always advertised by these backends) rather than on whether it was needed. The socket now opens eagerly only when `websocket_callbacks=True`; with just per-callback `websocket=True` it opens lazily on the first such callback dispatch, and an app with no WebSocket callbacks never opens one.

The old cap predated Selenium Manager, so the pinned selenium could not drive the current stable Chrome (151+) that CI installs, producing widespread `StaleElementReferenceException`/`TimeoutException` flakiness across the browser-based integration tests. Modern selenium auto-provisions a matching chromedriver, restoring stable CI runs. +- Speed up the layout crawl the renderer runs on every path recompute and callback gather (`crawlLayout` and its callers) by replacing curried-ramda `path`/`pathOr` lookups with direct property access on the per-node hot path. Cut a `Patch().append()` into a large container by ~16% and initial render / wildcard resolution by a few percent, with no behavior change. - Fix pattern-matching (`MATCH`/`ALL`/`ALLSMALLER`) callbacks getting quadratically slower as the number of matching components grows. Resolving a wildcard dispatch looked up each component's path with a linear deep-equality scan over every component sharing the id's key set, so resolving an `ALL` callback over N components was O(N²). The renderer now keeps an O(1) id→path index alongside the ordered table, cutting an `ALL` update over 400 components from ~580ms to ~140ms (~4x). No app changes required. - [#3941](https://github.com/plotly/dash/pull/3941) Fix the FastAPI and Quart backends opening a WebSocket connection on every page load, even for apps with no WebSocket callbacks. The renderer keyed the connection on the mere presence of WebSocket infrastructure (always advertised by these backends) rather than on whether it was needed. The socket now opens eagerly only when `websocket_callbacks=True`; with just per-callback `websocket=True` it opens lazily on the first such callback dispatch, and an app with no WebSocket callbacks never opens one.
