Both stores hardcoded their pool ceiling: 10 connections for Postgres, 5 for on-disk SQLite. One pool is shared by every database-backed RPC, so that number is also the gateway's ceiling on concurrent database work. Once every connection is checked out, callers queue on acquire and sqlx logs "time to acquire exceeded slow threshold"; sandbox creates then time out and are retried, which adds load rather than shedding it. The right ceiling is deployment-specific — it depends on how many gateway replicas share the database and what max_connections the server itself allows — so it cannot be a single number baked into the binary. Expose it on the same config surface as the rest of the gateway's settings: --db-max-connections, OPENSHELL_DB_MAX_CONNECTIONS, and the TOML key database_max_connections, resolved in that precedence order and rendered by the Helm chart from server.dbMaxConnections. Omitting it keeps each backend's previous value, so existing deployments do not move. Values below 1 are rejected rather than silently replaced by the default: a zero pool would block every acquire, and quietly ignoring a typo would reproduce the ceiling the operator is trying to lift. An in-memory SQLite database stays pinned to one connection, since the database lives inside that connection. Refs: #2561 Signed-off-by: Bryce Wilkinson <22760097+bjw123@users.noreply.github.com>
openshell-core
Shared types, constants, configuration, and helpers used across OpenShell crates.
Object Metadata
Top-level user-facing objects use a Kubernetes-style metadata convention. The metadata shape provides:
- Stable server-generated ID.
- Human-readable name.
- Creation timestamp.
- Optional labels for filtering and automation.
Code that works with object metadata should use the traits in
openshell_core::metadata instead of reaching into protobuf fields directly:
use openshell_core::{ObjectId, ObjectLabels, ObjectName};
let id = sandbox.object_id();
let name = sandbox.object_name();
let labels = sandbox.object_labels();
Trait methods must tolerate missing metadata and return safe empty values rather than panicking.
Label Rules
Labels follow Kubernetes-style key and value conventions:
- Keys may include an optional DNS-prefix followed by
/. - Names are limited to alphanumeric characters plus
-,_, and.. - Values use the same character set and may be empty.
- Selectors use comma-separated
key=valuepairs with AND semantics.
Validate labels at API ingress before persisting objects.
Inference Profiles
Provider inference profiles live in this crate so the gateway, sandbox, and router agree on provider defaults. Profiles define:
- Auth header style.
- Default upstream headers.
- Client-supplied passthrough headers.
- Supported inference protocol shapes.
Do not duplicate provider-specific inference behavior in callers. Add shared behavior here, then consume it from the gateway, sandbox, and router.
Middleware Contracts
Built-in supervisor middleware identifiers, host-selector matching, and pure
configuration validation live in openshell_core::middleware. Policy admission
and the supervisor runtime consume the same contract without introducing a
dependency from the policy crate to the supervisor implementation.
Protobuf Struct Conversion
Use openshell_core::proto_struct when crossing between serde_json values and
prost_types::{Struct, Value}. Both conversion directions live in this module;
JSON-to-protobuf conversion is fallible so callers cannot silently replace an
unrepresentable number.
