+# RunLoop benchmark — 2026-05-06T06:42:01Z

+
+| Metric | Value |
+|---|---|
+| Engine binary (linux/amd64, stripped) | **27.2 MiB** |
+| Engine Docker image | **204.4 MiB** |
+| Engine RAM (idle, 60s) | 8.52MiB |

+
+## Methodology
+
+1. `go build -ldflags="-s -w" -trimpath` for linux/amd64.
+2. `docker build` from `apps/runloop-engine/Dockerfile`.
+3. Spin up Postgres 16-alpine + engine on an isolated docker network.
+4. Apply Prisma schema, wait for first `/rl/api/health` response.
+5. Sleep 60s, sample `docker stats --no-stream`.
+6. Tear down. Numbers are single-run on this hardware.
+
+## Run details
+
+- Hardware: `arm64`
+- Host OS: `Darwin 25.2.0`
+- Docker: `27.3.1`
+- Go: `go1.26.0`
+- Commit: `cfbcf14`
+
+## Why the image is bigger than the binary
+
+The Docker image bundles Python, Node.js, and the Docker CLI alongside the
+engine binary so the Python / Node.js / Docker / Shell node executors work
+out of the box. Without those, those node types would fail at first use
+with `executable not found`. If you don't need those runtimes, you can
+build a leaner image (`FROM alpine:latest` + binary only ≈ 35 MiB).
+
+## What this is not
+
+- **Throughput** (jobs/sec): not measured here. Run a load test against the
+  HTTP node executor or queue producer for that.
+- **Web (Next.js) RAM**: excluded — most operators run engine + Postgres,
+  the web UI is optional. Add ~75 MiB if you also bring up `runloop-web`.
+- **Multi-arch**: only linux/amd64. arm64 binary is ~25 MiB; image overhead
+  is similar.

+# Throughput benchmark — Postgres queue, no-op flow
+
+Reproducible from `scripts/bench-throughput.sh`. Measures how fast the
+worker pool drains a Postgres-backed queue when the bound flow does no
+real work (Start → End). This is the queue+worker ceiling — real flows
+scale down from here in proportion to per-node cost.
+
+## Latest reading on this hardware
+
+| Workers | Jobs | Wall-clock | Throughput |
+|---:|---:|---:|---:|
+| 20 | 10,000 | 10.19s | **981 jobs/sec** |
+| 40 | 10,000 | 6.16s  | **1,622 jobs/sec** |
+| 40 | 20,000 | 11.76s | **1,700 jobs/sec** |
+
+The Apple-Silicon laptop saturates around 1.7k jobs/sec at 40 workers
+with the default Postgres-backend tunings. Further scaling needs more
+workers + Postgres connection pool headroom (`DATABASE_MAX_CONNS`),
+or a different backend (Redis Streams, Kafka).
+
+## What this measures
+
+The cost of pulling a row from `job_queue_items` (Postgres
+`SELECT … FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED`), dispatching it onto a worker
+goroutine, walking the flow DAG (two flow-shape nodes that return
+instantly), and updating the row to `COMPLETED`. Real flows with HTTP /
+DB / Shell / Python / Node / Docker nodes will run slower in proportion
+to the work the nodes actually do.
+
+## Methodology
+
+1. Spin up the same isolated stack as the footprint bench.
+2. Insert one project, one flow (Start → End), one queue with the
+   given concurrency cap.
+3. Start the engine — queue manager registers the consumer at boot.
+4. Bulk `INSERT … SELECT FROM generate_series(1, N)` — single
+   statement, no API path, no per-row latency.
+5. Time from the bulk-insert return until
+   `count(*) WHERE status = 'COMPLETED'` reaches `N`.

+## What this measures
+
+The cost of pulling a row from \`job_queue_items\` (Postgres SELECT FOR
+UPDATE SKIP LOCKED), dispatching it to a worker goroutine, executing the
+flow's two trivial nodes, and updating the row to COMPLETED. Real flows
+with HTTP / DB / Shell / Python / Node / Docker nodes scale down from
+this ceiling in proportion to the per-node work.
+
+## Methodology
+
+1. Build engine image, spin up Postgres + engine on isolated network.
+2. Apply Prisma schema; insert minimal project + no-op flow + queue.
+3. Start the engine (queue manager discovers the queue at boot).
+4. Bulk \`INSERT ... SELECT FROM generate_series(1, $N)\` — single SQL
+   statement, no API round-trip, no per-row latency.
+5. Time \`t_start\` immediately after the bulk insert returns.
+6. Poll \`SELECT count(*) WHERE status='COMPLETED'\` every 200ms.
+7. Time \`t_end\` when count reaches $N.
+
+The first item gets a small head-start while the engine's queue poll
+loop notices the new rows; that's bundled into the wall-clock and pulls
+the rate slightly down vs. a "steady-state" measurement. For larger
+\`N\` the head-start becomes negligible.

+- Host OS: \`$OS\`
+- Go: \`$GO_VER\`
+- Commit: \`$COMMIT\`
+- Postgres: \`postgres:16-alpine\`
+
+## What this is not
+
+- **Multi-instance**: single engine, single Postgres. HA / leader-election
+  isn't measured.
+- **Real workload**: no-op flow. HTTP nodes will be network-bound; DB
+  nodes will be storage-bound. Use this as the queue+worker ceiling.
+- **Cross-backend**: Postgres queue only. RabbitMQ / Kafka / Redis Streams
+  will have different characteristics; track separately.
+- **Sustained-over-hours**: this drains a fixed batch. A loaded production
+  queue with new items arriving as old ones complete will have different
+  numbers (typically slightly lower due to commit / vacuum overhead).
