What this PR does

Requests in Cozystack apps are derived from limits by the cluster-wide cpu-allocation-ratio and memory-allocation-ratio only, so there is no way to let one database keep a high limit while reserving what it normally uses without changing the ratio for every application in the cluster, system components included. Platforms that bill by use and give each database a generous limit need this per instance.

This adds an optional resourcesAllocationRatio: {cpu, memory} that cozy-lib.resources.sanitize reads from the application's own values before falling back to the cluster-wide ratio. Postgres is the first application to expose it; others can opt in the same way.

  • Unset (the default, and every existing instance), the rendered requests are unchanged.
  • A ratio below 1 is refused at render, since the request would exceed the limit.
  • Per resource: setting only memory leaves CPU on the cluster-wide ratio.

How it was checked, since cozy-lib is shared by every app:

  • Rendered all 35 charts that link cozy-lib with their default values on main and on this branch: identical output (after masking per-render random passwords).
  • Ran helm unittest in every chart that has tests (119) on main and on this branch: identical results except the new tests (postgres 209 → 212, cozy-lib-tests 68 → 75). The charts whose tests fail on main fail identically here.
  • New cases in packages/tests/cozy-lib-tests (unset, empty map, cluster-wide ratio still applied, memory override with the limit unchanged, app ratio winning per resource, ratio 1, ratio below 1 refused) and in packages/apps/postgres/tests (16Gi limit with memory ratio 8 reserves 2Gi; unset reserves the limit; below 1 refused).
  • make generate in packages/apps/postgres is clean; deepcopy regenerated for the new type.

Screenshots

No UI change.

Downstream repositories

I left every box empty on purpose: cozystack/terraform-provider-cozystack types the Postgres spec by hand, so it will need the new top-level resourcesAllocationRatio field, but its exact shape may change in review here. I will open the follow-up there once the direction is accepted. The managed-apps reference on the website is regenerated from the package README on a stable tag.

Release note

feat(postgres): `resourcesAllocationRatio` overrides the cluster-wide CPU and memory allocation ratios for one Postgres instance, so its requests can sit below a high limit without changing the ratio for every application. Unset, nothing changes.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added optional per-database CPU and memory allocation ratios for PostgreSQL. Set values override cluster-wide ratios; unspecified values retain existing behavior.
    • Memory allocation ratios adjust memory requests while leaving limits unchanged.
    • Ratios must be at least 1; lower values are rejected.
  • Documentation
    • Updated PostgreSQL configuration guidance to describe the new settings and their defaults.

…Ratio)

Requests are derived from limits by the cluster-wide cpu/memory
allocation ratios only, so an operator who wants one database to keep a
high limit while reserving what it normally uses has to change the ratio
for every application in the cluster. A platform that bills by use and
offers a generous limit per database needs the override per instance.

cozy-lib reads an optional resourcesAllocationRatio.{cpu,memory} from
the application's values before the cluster-wide ratio; unset, the
rendered requests are unchanged for every chart that uses sanitize. A
ratio below 1 is refused because the request would exceed the limit.
Postgres is the first application to expose the value.

📝 Walkthrough

Applications can now set CPU and memory resource allocation ratios. Shared resource templates use valid application-level ratios before cluster-wide ratios or defaults. PostgreSQL configuration, chart schemas, and tests cover the settings and their effects.

Shared templates prefer valid application-level ratios, then use cluster configuration or defaults. Tests cover precedence, fallback, request calculations, and rejection of ratios below 1.

Helm tests check memory request calculations, unchanged limits, and template failure when the ratio is below 1.

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 87bc1

The per-application ratios reach PostgreSQL rendering, with unset values retaining cluster fallback behavior and configured ratios affecting requests as intended. No merge-blocking issue was identified; proceed with normal checks.

Comment thread api/apps/v1alpha1/postgresql/types.go Resolved
A ratio of 0 passed the values schema and only failed at render, which
leaves the release failing to reconcile until the value is corrected.
The schema and the API type now refuse it up front; cozy-lib keeps its
render-time guard for callers without a schema.

Hi Aleksei Sviridkin (@lexfrei). Can you please review this PR? It will help us and other user significantly by making DB resources scalable on demand.

yrahman82 added a commit to yrahman82/cozystack that referenced this pull request Nov 6, 2026
Expose resourcesAllocationRatio on the Redis, Valkey, RabbitMQ, NATS and
Kafka applications, as cozystack#4907 does for PostgreSQL. cozy-lib already reads
the value from the application's own values and falls back to the
cluster-wide cpu/memory allocation ratios when it is unset, so the
rendered requests are unchanged by default. Set, an instance keeps its
limits (from resources or resourcesPreset) while its requests follow the
ratio: memory 8 on a 16Gi limit reserves 2Gi.

The ratio applies to every pod the application sizes through cozy-lib:
the Redis/Valkey data and Sentinel pods, the RabbitMQ and NATS replicas,
and the Kafka brokers, whose JVM heap is still sized from the limit. A
ratio below 1 is refused by the schema, since the request would exceed
the limit.

Regenerated with cozyvalues-gen v1.7.0 and controller-gen v0.16.4; one
helm unittest suite per application covers the default, a set ratio and
the refusal (Valkey's first unit tests).

Superseded by #5241: rebased onto current main and extended to Redis, Valkey, RabbitMQ, NATS and Kafka (same resourcesAllocationRatio, one commit on top of the two from here). Closing this one so there is a single PR to review.
