Monthly summary for 2025-10 | Repository: nspcc-dev/neofs-node Overview: Delivered a focused set of features and reliability fixes that improve performance, observability, and operational efficiency, while reducing maintenance burden and risk. Key features delivered and business value: - Timer subsystem cleanup and dead code removal: Consolidated epoch timer logic into a shared timers package and removed unused legacy timer code and config. Result: simpler maintenance, fewer misconfigurations, and reduced risk in time-based operations. - Container load reports parsing and GC counters fix: Updated parser to handle LastUpdateEpoch and ensured object counters and storage size stay in sync after GC. Result: accurate usage accounting and troubleshooting. - Metabase delete optimization: Avoids unnecessary retrieval of the current epoch, reducing latency and CPU usage during delete operations. - Enhanced container reporting scheduling and dedup: Allow up to three reports per epoch without duplicates and schedule by node position, improving visibility and reducing redundant work. - Quota cache TTL optimization with LRU: Refactored quota caching to use an LRU cache to boost hit rate and memory efficiency. Operational note: Added neofs-adm fschain load-report command to inspect storage load reports for a container, improving troubleshooting workflows. Impact: Reduced operational costs and latency, improved reliability and observability, and enabled faster issue diagnosis through better metrics, caching, and reporting predictability. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Go modularization and refactoring; timers/timers package architecture; robust parser handling; GC-aware metric accuracy; caching strategies (LRU); scheduling logic; command-line tooling; performance optimization.
