Removes the six OTel packages (opentelemetry, _api, _exporter,
_phoenix, _oban, _bandit) and their 9 transitive deps. Tracing was
only wired for Phoenix/Bandit/Oban auto-instrumentation — PromEx
already covers the metrics we actually use on the status page +
Grafana. Also drops the OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT env var and
its comment block from both deployment manifests.
Adds HorizontalPodAutoscaler resources for the three load-responsive
Deployments:
- prop (web): min 2, max 5, averageValue 800m CPU
- prop-grid-rs: min 1, max 4, averageValue 400m
- hrrr-point-rs: min 1, max 4, averageValue 400m
- prop-backfill is intentionally unmanaged (queue-driven, not CPU-bound)
The scale-up policy reacts in 30 s with up-to-2-pods or +100 % per
window; scale-down stabilises over 10 min so the hourly propagation
chain doesn't churn replicas right after the :05 cron.
Removes `spec.replicas` from the HPA-managed Deployments so Flux's
periodic reconcile stops fighting HPA's live scaling decisions.
Drops `podAntiAffinity` from prop, prop-grid-rs, and hrrr-point-rs
so HPA can actually reach its maxReplicas when one physical host has
capacity for two pods; the scheduler picks whatever fits.
Updates runbook + project memory to drop the `talos5` hostname —
Postgres is now addressed strictly by IP (10.0.15.30).
IemreFetchWorker now writes an empty stub observation when IEM returns
a permanent-failure status (404, 422), mirroring the existing {:ok, []}
path. The backfill cron's next tick sees the stub via
has_iemre_observation?/3, generates no job, and mark_status!/3 flips
the contact's iemre_status from :queued to :complete — draining the
51 contacts that have been stuck behind cancelled out-of-grid IEMRE
jobs.
Raise hot pod CPU limit 2 → 3 so BEAM gets 3 schedulers online.
Observed run queues of [2, 10, 0, 0, 0, 0] on the 2-scheduler
configuration during the :05 propagation chain, starving /live and
/health probe handlers and tripping intermittent liveness timeouts.
Per-pod IEM rate limiter was 700ms (~1.4 req/sec); four pods put the
fleet at ~5.7 req/sec, above the observed 429 threshold. Retry storm
(Req exponential backoff up to 32s) piled concurrent sleeps on top of
live workers and tripped Bandit's acceptor + Oban's leader heartbeat.
- Raise default interval to 1500ms (~2.7 req/sec fleet).
- Hot pod /live timeout 3s → 5s (acceptor stalls under retry sleeps).
- prop-backfill exec probe period 30s → 120s, timeout 15s → 30s; the
release CLI round-trips through distributed Erlang and 15s wasn't
enough under load, restart-looping every ~10 min.
