The current implementation of suspension handler processes the invocation queue sequentially which is really slow. Now we process is in parallel:

  • Process hooks first, then steps and waits in parallel to prevent race conditions
  • Refactor runtime.ts into modular files: suspension-handler.ts, step-handler.ts, helpers.ts
  • nit: Add otel attributes for hooks created (workflow.hooks.created) and waits created (workflow.waits.created)
  • nit: Update suspension status from pending_steps to workflow_suspended

Pull request overview

This PR refactors the workflow suspension handler to improve performance through parallelization and better code organization. The main runtime.ts file is split into modular components (suspension-handler.ts, step-handler.ts, helpers.ts) to improve maintainability, and the suspension processing is optimized to handle hooks, steps, and waits more efficiently.

Key Changes

  • Parallelization: Hooks are now processed sequentially first to prevent race conditions, followed by parallel processing of steps and waits for better performance
  • Code organization: Large runtime.ts file is refactored into focused, modular files that separate concerns
  • Enhanced telemetry: New OpenTelemetry attributes track hooks created (workflow.hooks.created) and waits created (workflow.waits.created) for better observability

The error handling in processStep only checks for 409 (conflict) errors but not 410 (workflow completed) errors. This is inconsistent with processHook which handles both 409 and 410 status codes. When a workflow has already completed, attempting to create a step should be handled gracefully like hooks do, otherwise the error will bubble up and potentially cause issues.

- Process hooks first, then steps and waits in parallel to prevent race conditions
- Refactor runtime.ts into modular files: suspension-handler.ts, step-handler.ts, helpers.ts
- Add otel attributes for hooks created (workflow.hooks.created) and waits created (workflow.waits.created)
- Update suspension status from pending_steps to workflow_suspended
- Add retry logic to benchmark for unexpected content type errors
- Refactor stress test benchmarks to use shared config (10, 25 steps enabled; 100+ skipped)

Pull request overview

This PR refactors the workflow suspension handler to improve performance through parallelization and better code organization. The main runtime.ts file is split into modular components (suspension-handler.ts, step-handler.ts, helpers.ts) to improve maintainability, and the suspension processing is optimized to handle hooks, steps, and waits more efficiently.

Key Changes

  • Parallelization: Hooks are now processed sequentially first to prevent race conditions, followed by parallel processing of steps and waits for better performance
  • Code organization: Large runtime.ts file is refactored into focused, modular files that separate concerns
  • Enhanced telemetry: New OpenTelemetry attributes track hooks created (workflow.hooks.created) and waits created (workflow.waits.created) for better observability

The error handling in processStep only checks for 409 (conflict) errors but not 410 (workflow completed) errors. This is inconsistent with processHook which handles both 409 and 410 status codes. When a workflow has already completed, attempting to create a step should be handled gracefully like hooks do, otherwise the error will bubble up and potentially cause issues.

The error handling in processStep only checks for 409 (conflict) errors but not 410 (workflow completed) errors. This is inconsistent with processHook which handles both 409 and 410 status codes. When a workflow has already completed, attempting to create a step should be handled gracefully like hooks do, otherwise the error will bubble up and potentially cause issues.

The current implementation of suspension handler processes the invocation queue sequentially which is really slow. Now we process is in parallel:

  • Process hooks first, then steps and waits in parallel to prevent race conditions
  • Refactor runtime.ts into modular files: suspension-handler.ts, step-handler.ts, helpers.ts
  • nit: Add otel attributes for hooks created (workflow.hooks.created) and waits created (workflow.waits.created)
  • nit: Update suspension status from pending_steps to workflow_suspended

The main runtime.ts file is split into modular components (suspension-handler.ts, step-handler.ts, helpers.ts) to improve maintainability, and the suspension processing is optimized to handle hooks, steps, and waits more efficiently.

Key Changes

  • Parallelization: Hooks are now processed sequentially first to prevent race conditions, followed by parallel processing of steps and waits for better performance
  • Code organization: Large runtime.ts file is refactored into focused, modular files that separate concerns
  • Enhanced telemetry: New OpenTelemetry attributes track hooks created (workflow.hooks.created) and waits created (workflow.waits.created) for better observability

The error handling in processStep only checks for 409 (conflict) errors but not 410 (workflow completed) errors. This is inconsistent with processHook which handles both 409 and 410 status codes. When a workflow has already completed, attempting to create a step should be handled gracefully like hooks do, otherwise the error will bubble up and potentially cause issues.

- Process hooks first, then steps and waits in parallel to prevent race conditions
- Refactor runtime.ts into modular files: suspension-handler.ts, step-handler.ts, helpers.ts
- Add otel attributes for hooks created (workflow.hooks.created) and waits created (workflow.waits.created)
- Update suspension status from pending_steps to workflow_suspended
- Add retry logic to benchmark for unexpected content type errors
- Refactor stress test benchmarks to use shared config (10, 25 steps enabled; 100+ skipped)
