The relay's Postgres primary (PS-80, 1 vCPU) has been pinned at 100% CPU, and query volume has grown 2.5× in three weeks. PlanetScale Insights and table stats point at two avoidable costs:

  • Agent-activity publishes ran the per-user aggregate join on every publish. It is the top query by CPU (14% of query time). Only iOS targets with a running Live Activity (activity_push_token) read the aggregate, and only 2,881 of 85,006 users with Live Activities enabled (3.4%) have one. The publisher now lists targets first and runs listForUser only when such a target exists.
  • relay_delivery_attempts is 13 GB with 16.4M rows on an 8 GB box, its pkey and source_job_id indexes are each ~3 GB at ~71% bloat, and it causes ~10× more disk reads than any other table. Its inserts take 26% of query time. The rows only guard queue job retries, so retention drops from 7 days to 1. With the existing prune cap (20k rows per 5-minute cron), the backlog drains in roughly 4–5 days; the two bloated indexes should be reindexed after that.

Also sets clusterSize: "PS_160" to match the resize queued in the PlanetScale dashboard, so a later deploy doesn't shrink the cluster back.

Merging deploys the relay.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

- Agent-activity publishes list the user's targets first and only build the
  Live Activity aggregate when an iOS target has a running Live Activity
  (3.4% of users), skipping the top CPU query everywhere else.
- Delivery attempts are kept 1 day instead of 7. They only guard queue job
  retries, and the 13 GB table dominates disk reads.
- clusterSize matches the PS-160 resize queued in the dashboard.

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — The query optimization is narrowly scoped, but delivery-attempt history will now be deleted after one day instead of seven. Confirm the shorter retention and the production database resize’s cost and operational impact before merging.

Walkthrough

The changes gate Live Activity aggregation on eligible targets, reduce delivery-attempt retention from seven days to one day, and increase the configured Relay PostgreSQL cluster size from PS_80 to PS_160.

Changes: Live Activity aggregation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Gate aggregation on eligible targets
infra/relay/src/agentActivity/AgentActivityPublisher.ts, infra/relay/src/agentActivity/AgentActivityPublisher.test.ts
publishForDeliveryUser lists targets before querying activity rows. It builds an aggregate only when Live Activities are enabled and at least one target is non-Android with an activity push token. Otherwise, it passes null. Tests cover cases with and without an activity push token.

Delivery-attempt retention

Layer / File(s) Summary
Set the pruning retention period
infra/relay/src/agentActivity/DeliveryAttempts.ts
DELIVERY_ATTEMPT_RETENTION_DAYS changes from seven days to one day.

Relay database cluster

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update the database cluster size
infra/relay/src/db.ts
RelayPostgresDatabase changes its cluster size from PS_80 to PS_160.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Refactor

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 7fd1e

The change lowers relay database load by skipping the per-user aggregate query when no iOS target has a running Live Activity, shortening delivery-attempt retention to one day, and matching the cluster size to the PlanetScale resize. The shorter retention does not allow duplicate pushes, because job validity and retries are all far shorter than one day. No merge-blocking issue was found.

Explanation

The title uses a conventional commit format and names the two main changes: lighter Postgres load and the PS-160 cluster size. The description and diff cover both, so the title matches the changeset. It does not name the specific query gate or the retention cut, which is acceptable because the title does not need every detail.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template in substance. It states the problem (Postgres primary pinned at 100% CPU, query growth), the change (publisher gate on activity targets, retention cut from 7 to 1 day, clusterSize to PS_160), and the scope context. Verification is weak: it gives production metrics from PlanetScale Insights but no focused tests or results for the changed behavior, and the Scope section does not link an issue or explain why the change is a bug fix rather than an optimization. The template also asks for the model and harness used if an agent was used, and the description includes a Claude Code attribution line without a clear model name. The description is mostly complete, so it passes, but the author should add test results and a scope justification.

Add publish-path tests for the activity query gate.

The new gate in publishForDeliveryUser has no test that checks its behavior. The routing test uses an iOS target without an activity token. It does not assert that rows.listForUser is skipped. The notification-only test has the same gap on its second publish. The replay test checks the aggregate on replayForLiveActivityRegistration, which builds its own aggregate and does not use this path.

Extend the existing routing test. Count listForUser calls, and assert zero calls after publish when the only iOS target has a null activity_push_token. Add a row or case where the iOS target has an activity_push_token. Assert that sendForTarget receives a non-null aggregate in the publish path.

As per coding guidelines, "Backend behavior changes ship with focused tests for that behavior" and "Extend before you add."

Add a pruning test that checks which attempts fall outside the cutoff.

The pruning tests check returned counts and the SQL text. None checks which rows are deleted. The pruneWith fake ignores the where predicate, so the created_at < before cutoff is never evaluated in a test.

Add a case with attempts just inside and just outside the one-day window. Use a fake that evaluates createdAt against the cutoff, or a layer that runs the real predicate. Assert that the attempts older than the cutoff are deleted and the newer ones remain. A change to the cutoff comparison or to the retention unit should then fail this test. Extend the existing pruning case or table if one fits. Do not add an assertion that only checks the constant value.
