perf: Decouple metrics HTTP server into a dedicated child process by ntkathole · Pull Request #6855 · feast-dev/feast

ntkathole · 2026-09-22T05:17:40Z

Summary

Replace the daemon thread that serves the Prometheus /metrics endpoint with a multiprocessing.Process so that scrape-time aggregation (MultiProcessCollector reads + text serialization) runs with its own GIL, fully isolated from request-serving workers and the Gunicorn master.

Problem

When Prometheus scrapes the /metrics endpoint, the current daemon thread performs:

File listing of all .db files in PROMETHEUS_MULTIPROCESS_DIR
Reading mmap-backed metric files from every Gunicorn worker
Aggregating/merging metrics across workers
Serializing to Prometheus text format

All of this runs under the same GIL as the Gunicorn master process. With high metric cardinality (many label combinations), this scrape overhead can cause GIL contention that indirectly affects request latency.

Solution

Move the WSGI HTTP metrics server into a dedicated child process via multiprocessing.Process(daemon=True):

_run_metrics_server() — new top-level function that serves as the child process entry point. It re-imports prometheus_client for macOS spawn safety and registers SIGTERM/SIGINT handlers for graceful shutdown.
start_metrics_server() — now spawns a Process instead of a Thread. The function signature and call sites are unchanged.
Background monitoring threads (resource, freshness) remain in-process because they only write to mmap-backed Gauges — an operation that is fast and does not benefit from process isolation.

Why this is safe

Aspect	Before (thread)	After (process)
Metrics port	`:8000` in master process	`:8000` in child process
GIL isolation	Shared with master	Fully isolated
`daemon=True`	Thread auto-joins on exit	Process auto-terminates on parent exit
Prometheus scrape	Same metrics, same format	Identical — `MultiProcessCollector` reads same mmap files
Kubernetes/HPA	Transparent	Transparent — same port, same pod network namespace
`spawn` safety	N/A	`_run_metrics_server` is top-level, re-imports deps

The PR cleanly isolates Prometheus scrape aggregation in a dedicated process and preserves the existing in-process monitoring behavior. The documentation and unit tests cover the process construction and monitoring flags well, but the child shutdown path can deadlock because BaseServer.shutdown() is called from the same thread running serve_forever(). Startup failures and lifecycle management are also not surfaced to the parent, which can leave the service reporting metrics as started when the endpoint is unavailable.
