Report On: Fetch PR 542 For Assessment

PR #542

Description

This pull request introduces a new feature: webhook workers. The feature is designed to handle workflows via webhooks, allowing external systems to trigger and interact with workflows in the Hatchet system. The changes include the creation of new API endpoints, database schema updates, and the implementation of webhook worker logic both on the server and client sides.

Changes

1. API Contracts:

   • Added new schemas for webhook workers in api-contracts/openapi/components/schemas/webhook_worker.yaml.
   • Updated openapi.yaml to include paths for creating and listing webhook workers.

2. Handlers:

   • New handlers for creating and listing webhook workers (create.go, list.go, service.go).

3. Server Configuration:

   • Updated server configuration to include the webhook controller service.

4. Database Schema:

   • Added new tables for WebhookWorker and WebhookWorkerWorkflow.
   • Created corresponding Prisma models and migrations.

5. Client Library:

   • Updated the client library to support new API endpoints for webhook workers.
   • Added TypeScript definitions and API query functions.

6. Frontend:

   • Added UI components for managing webhook workers, including a dialog for creating new webhook endpoints.
   • Integrated these components into the tenant settings section.

7. Examples:

   • Provided example code demonstrating how to use the webhook feature (examples/webhook).

8. Internal Services:

   • Implemented the WebhooksController service responsible for managing webhook worker health checks and actions.
   • Added utility functions for generating random strings and signing requests.

9. Tests:

   • Included end-to-end tests for the webhook feature.

Code Quality Assessment

1. Code Organization:

   • The code is well-organized with clear separation of concerns. Handlers, models, services, and client-side code are appropriately modularized.

2. Readability:

   • The code is readable with meaningful variable names and comments explaining complex logic.
   • The use of helper functions (e.g., generateWebhookSecret, sendWebhook) improves readability by abstracting repetitive tasks.

3. Error Handling:

   • Error handling is consistent throughout the codebase, with appropriate logging and error propagation.
   • There are some places where error messages could be more descriptive to aid debugging.

4. Testing:

   • The inclusion of end-to-end tests demonstrates a commitment to ensuring the feature works as expected.
   • Unit tests for critical functions (e.g., signature generation) are present, but additional tests could be added for edge cases.

5. Documentation:

   • The PR includes updates to API documentation which is crucial for developers integrating with these new endpoints.
   • Example usage provided in the examples/webhook directory is helpful for understanding how to use the new feature.

6. Performance Considerations:

   • The use of health checks and periodic polling in the WebhooksController is a good approach for ensuring webhook worker availability.
   • Potential performance bottlenecks should be monitored, especially around database transactions involving multiple workflows.

7. Security:

   • Webhook requests are signed using HMAC, which adds a layer of security by ensuring that requests are authentic.
   • Secrets are generated securely using a cryptographic random number generator.

Recommendations

1. Complete TODOs:

   • There are several TODO items left in the PR (e.g., automatic workflow registration, token management). These should be completed before merging.

2. Additional Tests:

   • Add more unit tests to cover edge cases and potential failure points in the webhook handling logic.

3. Performance Testing:

   • Conduct performance testing under load to ensure that the new feature scales well with increasing numbers of webhook workers and events.

4. Security Review:

   • Perform a thorough security review, especially focusing on how secrets are managed and stored.

Overall, this PR introduces a valuable feature with well-structured code and good initial test coverage. Completing the remaining TODOs and adding more tests will further strengthen it before merging into the main branch.

Aggregate for risks

Notable Risks

Critical bug causing double execution of steps when restarting the engine

Severity: High (3/3)

Rationale

This bug can lead to significant workflow reliability issues, causing unexpected behavior and potentially duplicating actions that should only occur once.

• Evidence: Issue #552 highlights a critical bug where restarting the engine causes the same step to execute twice.
• Reasoning: This issue directly impacts the core functionality of the system, leading to potential data corruption, unintended side effects, and unreliable operation of workflows.

Next Steps

• Prioritize fixing this bug immediately.
• Implement a robust testing mechanism to ensure that restarting the engine does not cause duplicate executions in the future.

Prolonged disagreement or argumentative engagement among team members

Severity: Medium (2/3)

Rationale

Disagreements can indicate deeper issues within the team that may affect productivity and project direction.

• Evidence: PR discussions showing considerable disagreement about code and architectural issues (#524).
• Reasoning: While healthy debate is part of development, prolonged disagreements can slow down progress and lead to fragmented solutions.

Next Steps

• Escalate the discussion to a tech lead or technical executive for resolution.
• Facilitate a meeting to align on architectural decisions and ensure all team members are on the same page.

Multiple rewrites of the same source code files in a short period

Severity: Medium (2/3)

Rationale

Frequent changes to the same files can indicate instability or unclear requirements, which may introduce bugs or inconsistencies.

• Evidence: Multiple commits by Gabe Ruttner and Alexander Belanger on features like worker semaphore v2 and email alert groups (#540, #547).
• Reasoning: While these changes are aimed at improving functionality, frequent rewrites can lead to integration issues and potential bugs if not managed carefully.

Next Steps

• Conduct a thorough review of recent changes to ensure stability.
• Establish clearer requirements and design specifications before implementing further changes.

Ambiguous specifications or direction for important functionality

Severity: Medium (2/3)

Rationale

Ambiguity in specifications can lead to misaligned implementations and wasted effort.

• Evidence: Issue #541 requests retry delay parameters but lacks detailed defining criteria.
• Reasoning: Without clear specifications, developers may implement features that do not meet user needs or project goals, leading to rework and delays.

Next Steps

• Clarify and document detailed specifications for high-priority features.
• Ensure all stakeholders review and agree on these specifications before development begins.

Non-critical PRs left open for several days without any updates

Severity: Low (1/3)

Rationale

While not urgent, leaving PRs open without updates can indicate potential bottlenecks in the review process.

• Evidence: PR #501 has been open for 21 days with unresolved linter issues.
• Reasoning: Delays in merging non-critical PRs can slow down overall development velocity and introduce merge conflicts over time.

Next Steps

• Assign reviewers promptly and set clear deadlines for reviewing non-critical PRs.
• Encourage regular updates on open PRs to keep them moving towards closure.
