From 969b0d0f8e3eaccae7d30523db43de943f2eb523 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jonathan Baldie Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2026 11:02:32 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/6] fix: make rate limiter checks independent of window size (#125) isAllowed() filtered the caller's full timestamp window on every call, including denied requests and pre-auth traffic, so per-request cost grew linearly with RATE_LIMIT_REQUESTS and collapsed quadratically under load. Timestamps are sorted ascending, so stale entries form a prefix: take an O(1) fast path when the newest is fresh, otherwise binary search the first fresh entry (O(log n)) and count the window without filtering or copying. Drop the stale prefix only once it dominates the array so the copy stays amortized O(1) per recorded request. All-stale entries are still removed, and periodic cleanup and eviction semantics are unchanged. --- .../2026-09-21-queue/perf_repro.ts | 44 +++++++++ src/rate_limiter.ts | 31 +++++- tests/rate_limiter_test.ts | 94 +++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 164 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) create mode 100644 docs/exploratory-testing/2026-09-21-queue/perf_repro.ts diff --git a/docs/exploratory-testing/2026-09-21-queue/perf_repro.ts b/docs/exploratory-testing/2026-09-21-queue/perf_repro.ts new file mode 100644 index 0000000..5240508 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/exploratory-testing/2026-09-21-queue/perf_repro.ts @@ -0,0 +1,44 @@ +// Perf evidence for #125: RateLimiter.isAllowed per-request cost must be +// independent of RATE_LIMIT_REQUESTS (window length). +import { RateLimiter } from "../../../src/rate_limiter.ts"; + +function bench(limit: number, requests: number): number { + const limiter = new RateLimiter(limit, 60000, 1_000_000, 10_000); + const makeReq = () => + new Request("http://localhost/length/q", { + headers: { "x-forwarded-for": "10.0.0.1" }, + }); + + // Warmup + for (let i = 0; i < limit; i++) limiter.isAllowed(makeReq()); + + const start = performance.now(); + for (let i = 0; i < requests; i++) { + limiter.isAllowed(makeReq()); // all denied: at limit + } + return (performance.now() - start) / requests; // ms per request +} + +// Fill a window of `limit`, then time denied requests.

The enqueue reviver (unsupported-number check) made bodies nested ~3,100+ levels deep throw RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded. enqueueErrorResponse only maps SyntaxError, so the RangeError escaped as an uncaught 500. Plain JSON.parse and JSON.stringify both handle 100,000+ levels, so the parse step was the only point of failure. parseJsonBody now converts a RangeError raised by JSON.parse into a SyntaxError. The request gets the existing 400 "Invalid JSON" response and the Queue is not changed. The catch covers only the parse call, so RangeErrors from anywhere else still surface as 500s.
