I thought it might be useful to curate a summary of the issues you're likely to run into to help as a scaling-down guide, maybe highlight these for development work or end up as documentation. It seems that once you get up to about 4x1.5GHz arm64 4GiB these issues are no longer a problem. + +- **Platform**: 2x1GHz armhf 2GiB ram [Single-board computers](https://wiki.debian.org/CheapServerBoxHardware), SSD, postgres. + +### Presence + +This is the main reason people have a poor matrix experience on resource constrained homeservers. Element web will frequently be saying the server is offline while the python process will be pegged at 100% cpu.

There is also a client-side config option which disables the UI and idle tracking [enable_presence_by_hs_url] to blacklist the largest instances but I didn't notice much difference, so I recommend disabling the feature entirely at the server level as well. + +[enable_presence_by_hs_url]: https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/blob/v1.7.8/config.sample.json#L45 + +### Joining + +Joining a "large", federated room will initially fail with the below message in Element web, but waiting a while (10-60mins) and trying again will succeed without any issue. What counts as "large" is not message history, user count, connections to homeservers or even a simple count of the state events, it is instead how long the state resolution algorithm takes. However, each of those numbers are reasonable proxies, so we can use them as estimates since user count is one of the few things you see before joining. + + + +This is [#1211](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/1211) and will also hopefully be mitigated by peeking [matrix-org/matrix-doc#2753](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2753) so at least you don't need to wait for a join to complete before finding out if it's the kind of room you want. Note that you should first disable presence, otherwise it'll just make the situation worse [#3120](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/3120). There is a lot of database interaction too, so make sure you've [migrated your data](../postgres.md) from the default sqlite to postgresql.

In other words, we need to know the state of the room at each event in that room. This is done as follows: + +A sequence of events where the state is the same are grouped together into a `state_group`; the mapping is recorded in `event_to_state_groups`. (Technically speaking, since a state event usually changes the state in the room, we are recording the state of the room *after* the given event id: which is to say, to a handwavey simplification, the first event in a state group is normally a state event, and others in the same state group are normally non-state-events.) + +`state_groups` records, for each state group, the id of the room that we're looking at, and also the id of the first event in that group. (I'm not sure if that event id is used much in practice.) + +Now, if we stored all the room state for each `state_group`, that would be a huge amount of data. Instead, for each state group, we normally store the difference between the state in that group and some other state group, and only occasionally (every 100 state changes or so) record the full state. + +So, most state groups have an entry in `state_group_edges` (don't ask me why it's not a column in `state_groups`) which records the previous state group in the room, and `state_groups_state` records the differences in state since that previous state group. + +A full state group just records the event id for each piece of state in the room at that point. + +## Known bugs with state groups + +There are various reasons that we can end up creating many more state groups than we need: see https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/3364 for more details. + +## Compression tool + +There is a tool at https://github.com/matrix-org/rust-synapse-compress-state which can compress the `state_groups_state` on a room by-room basis (essentially, it reduces the number of "full" state groups).

This would be useful information to figure out which part of the Synapse codebase is potentially creating a heavy load on the system. However, be sure to cross-reference this with Transaction Duration, which states that `get_users_by_id` is actually a very quick database transaction and isn't causing as much load as others, like `persist_events`: + + + +Still, it's probably worth investigating why we're getting users from the database that often, and whether it's possible to reduce the amount of queries we make by adjusting our cache factor(s). + +The `persist_events` transaction is responsible for saving new room events to the Synapse database, so can often show a high transaction duration. + +## Federation + +The charts in the "Federation" section show information about incoming and outgoing federation requests. Federation data can be divided into two basic types: + +- PDU (Persistent Data Unit) - room events: messages, state events (join/leave), etc. These are permanently stored in the database. +- EDU (Ephemeral Data Unit) - other data, which need not be stored permanently, such as read receipts, typing notifications. + +The "Outgoing EDUs by type" chart shows the EDUs within outgoing federation requests by type: `m.device_list_update`, `m.direct_to_device`, `m.presence`, `m.receipt`, `m.typing`. + +If you see a large number of `m.presence` EDUs and are having trouble with too much CPU load, you can disable `presence` in the Synapse config.

It shows how many times Synapse attempts to retrieve a piece of data from a cache which the cache did not contain, thus resulting in a call to the database. We can see here that the `_get_joined_profile_from_event_id` cache is being requested a lot, and often the data we're after is not cached. + +Cross-referencing this with the Eviction Rate graph, which shows that entries are being evicted from `_get_joined_profile_from_event_id` quite often: + + + +we should probably consider raising the size of that cache by raising its cache factor (a multiplier value for the size of an individual cache). Information on doing so is available [here](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/ee421e524478c1ad8d43741c27379499c2f6135c/docs/sample_config.yaml#L608-L642) (note that the configuration of individual cache factors through the configuration file is available in Synapse v1.14.0+, whereas doing so through environment variables has been supported for a very long time).

The more exist in a room, the more [state resolution](https://matrix.org/docs/spec/server_server/r0.1.3#room-state-resolution) that Synapse needs to perform (hint: it's an expensive operation). While Synapse has code to prevent too many of these existing at one time in a room, bugs can sometimes make them crop up again. + +If a room has >10 forward extremities, it's worth checking which room is the culprit and potentially removing them using the SQL queries mentioned in [#1760](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/1760). + +## Garbage Collection + + + +Large spikes in garbage collection times (bigger than shown here, I'm talking in the multiple seconds range), can cause lots of problems in Synapse performance.
