George Gevoian	2cb783ea7b	(core) Fix bugs with intervals ... Summary: Fixes some bugs involving intervals, and updates RandomizedTimer to support both fixed and randomized delays, and to better handle async callbacks. * Fixed a bug where Throttle would queue up many pidusage calls due to the use of setInterval, and the async nature of the calls. * Fixed a but where RandomizedTimer (now just Interval) would not be disabled in ActiveDoc on doc shutdown if initialization had not yet settled. Test Plan: Tested manually. Reviewers: jarek, dsagal Reviewed By: jarek, dsagal Subscribers: dsagal Differential Revision: https://phab.getgrist.com/D3604	2 years ago
Dmitry S	51ff72c15e	(core) Faster builds all around. ... Summary: Building: - Builds no longer wait for tsc for either client, server, or test targets. All use esbuild which is very fast. - Build still runs tsc, but only to report errors. This may be turned off with `SKIP_TSC=1` env var. - Grist-core continues to build using tsc. - Esbuild requires ES6 module semantics. Typescript's esModuleInterop is turned on, so that tsc accepts and enforces correct usage. - Client-side code is watched and bundled by webpack as before (using esbuild-loader) Code changes: - Imports must now follow ES6 semantics: `import * as X from ...` produces a module object; to import functions or class instances, use `import X from ...`. - Everything is now built with isolatedModules flag. Some exports were updated for it. Packages: - Upgraded browserify dependency, and related packages (used for the distribution-building step). - Building the distribution now uses esbuild's minification. babel-minify is no longer used. Test Plan: Should have no behavior changes, existing tests should pass, and docker image should build too.

Paul Fitzpatrick	db34e1a6d9	(core) tweak throttling to work for gvisor/runsc ... Summary: Grist has, up to now, used a throttling mechanism that allows a sandbox free rein until it starts using above some threshold percentage of a cpu for some time - at that point, we start sending STOP and CONT signals on a duty cycle, with longer and longer STOPped periods until cpu usage is at a threshold. The general idea is to do short jobs quickly, while throttling long jobs (thus unfortunately making them even longer) in order to continue doing other short jobs quickly. The runsc sandbox is not a single process, there are in fact 5 per sandbox in our setup. Runsc can work with kvm or ptrace. Kvm is not available to us, so we use ptrace. With ptrace, there is one process that is the appropriate one to duty cycle, and another that needs to receive a signal in order to yield. This diff adds the necessary machinery. This is a conservative change, where I stick with our existing throttling mechanism and adapt it to the new sandbox. It would be reasonable to consider switching throttling. There's a lot the OS allows. We can set a quota for how much cpu a process can use within a given period, for example. However the overall behavior with that would be quite different to what we have, so feels like this would need more discussion. The implementation contains use of a linux utility `pgrep` since portability is not important (runsc is only available on linux) and there's no node api for enumerating children of a process. The diff contains some tweaks to `buildtools/contain.sh` to streamline experimenting with Grist and runsc on a mac. It is important for throttling that node and the sandbox processes are in the same process name space, if docker is in between them then some extra machinery is needed (a proxy throttler and a way to communicate with it) which I chose not to implement. Test Plan: added test; a lot of manual testing Reviewers: dsagal Reviewed By: dsagal Differential Revision: https://phab.getgrist.com/D3113	3 years ago
Paul Fitzpatrick	5ef889addd	(core) move home server into core ... Summary: This moves enough server material into core to run a home server. The data engine is not yet incorporated (though in manual testing it works when ported).
