As we prepare for auto-scaling (EE), we needed more metrics to be held internally such as occupancy_rates at different timelines: Occupancy rates at different timelines You can now see occupancy rates for every worker in the 15s/5min/30mins/ever timelines to give you a glimpse of how busy your workers are right now...

The args in the runs page are now

The args in the runs page are now directly synced with the url fragment/anchor, meaning you get sharable urls with pre-filled args automatically by just sharing your current URL. e.g:

https://app.windmill.dev/scripts/get/dae90ddc108ce257?workspace=windmill-labs#disable_automatic_renewal=false&send_invoice_directly=true&discount_duration=%221+year%22&discount=0&frequency=%22monthly%22&seats=1&vcpus=2&plan=%22selfhosted_ee%22&stripe_customer_data=%7B%22label%22%3A%22New+stripe+customer%22%2C%22email%22%3A%22%22%2C%22address%22%3A%7B%22line1%22%3A%22%22%2C%22postal_code%22%3A%22adsadas%22%2C%22state%22%3A%22%22%2C%22city%22%3A%22%22%7D%2C%22tax_info%22%3A%7B%22value%22%3A%22%22%7D%7D&is_quote=false&contact_email=%22bar%40acme%22&company_name=%22acme%22

It also works well with back/forward and browser history. We also improved the whole way we dealt with the browser history and back/forward should work better in more places. We also did some nits such that editing a script from a run detail page will now prefill the test args with the jobs args...

__**All about logs**__

All about logs One of our large scale customers noticed that their database disk usage was much much higher than they anticipated. After investigation, we realized that our use of the database for streaming was very suboptimal in a few ways due to the nature of update in postgres. When you update a row in Postgres, it will actually keep the prior row as a dead tuple until it is collected. It doesn't matter in much case but it will if you're appending a few log lines to a 25MB log row, every 500ms. We have completely refactored the way we deal with logs in major ways and starting on 1.295.0 you should feel comfortable having extremely large logs on Windmill ...

I will write a blog post asap on it, but

I will write a blog post asap on it, but this weekend we achieved a very cool property for a distributed sytem: - Scripts were always 100% reliable as in, they would either execute and be completed with a success or failure, or retried if the worker crashed at ANY point (and I really mean any, even mid transaction, that's the beauty on relying on the beast that is Postgresql). It was achieved using atomic statement for pulling jobs and writing back their progress timestamps, regularly and on completion. - Flows were 99% reliable but had some extremely ephemeral point-in-time where if a crash happened, a flow could be stuck forever. Those events were so rare and unlikely on a modern infra that we didn't prioritize improving that but that is now done: Flows are now guaranteed to complete when they are scheduled given that enough workers are there to process them. This is done through a series of atomic statements in the right places of the finite state machine that runs the flows. If such crash on the machine happen, the flow will be guaranteed to progress in a finite amount of time and propagate the error back up, and then have it be treated by error handlers if any making windmill 100% observable....
