Summary

Standardizes lifecycle management for background workers across memory-based components, implementing the Start/Stop/Run pattern established in core/queue Worker and Scheduler. This provides consistent graceful shutdown, observability, and health monitoring for long-running background processes.

Changes

Core Improvements

  • Lifecycle Management: All background workers now implement Start/Stop/Run methods for consistent lifecycle control
  • Graceful Shutdown: Added configurable shutdown timeouts to prevent abrupt termination of cleanup operations
  • Observability: New Stats() methods expose operational metrics (active resources, cleanup operations, running state)
  • Health Monitoring: Healthcheck() methods enable integration with monitoring systems

Components Refactored

1. core/queue/memory_storage.go - Lock Expiration Manager

  • Converted from ticker-based cleanup to Start/Stop/Run lifecycle
  • Added functional options: WithLockCheckInterval, WithMemoryStorageShutdownTimeout, WithMemoryStorageLogger
  • New metrics: tracks active tasks, expired locks freed, running state
  • Enhanced shutdown: waits for in-progress lock expiration with timeout
  • Deprecated Close() in favor of Stop()

2. pkg/ratelimiter/memory_store.go - Bucket Cleanup Worker

  • Converted from ticker-based cleanup to Start/Stop/Run lifecycle
  • Added functional options: WithMemoryStoreShutdownTimeout, WithMemoryStoreLogger
  • New metrics: tracks buckets created/removed, active buckets, running state
  • Enhanced shutdown: waits for in-progress cleanup with timeout
  • Deprecated Close() in favor of Stop()

Test Coverage

  • Updated all tests to use new lifecycle pattern
  • Added tests for graceful shutdown behavior
  • Added tests for observability metrics
  • Added tests for health check functionality
  • All existing functionality preserved with backward compatibility

Breaking Changes

None - the Close() method remains available but is deprecated in favor of Stop(). Existing code continues to work without modification.

Test Plan

  • Run full test suite: go test -p 1 -count=1 -race -cover ./...
  • Verify memory storage lock expiration works correctly
  • Verify rate limiter cleanup removes stale buckets
  • Test graceful shutdown behavior with active operations
  • Test shutdown timeout handling
  • Verify observability metrics are accurate
  • Test health check responses
  • Verify backward compatibility with Close() method
  • Check race detector passes with concurrent operations
  • Verify context cancellation propagates correctly

- Add Start/Stop/Run methods for graceful lifecycle management
- Implement observability with MemoryStoreStats and Healthcheck methods
- Add atomic metrics for tracking bucket creation and removal
- Maintain backward compatibility with deprecated Close() method
- Update tests to reflect new lifecycle patterns

Key improvements:
- Explicit start/stop control of background cleanup
- Configurable shutdown timeout
- Thread-safe stats and health monitoring
- Consistent with core/queue worker/scheduler approach
…rage

- Implement Start/Stop/Run methods for graceful lifecycle management
- Add MemoryStorageStats for observability metrics
- Add functional options for configuration (check interval, shutdown timeout, logger)
- Deprecate Close() in favor of Stop()
- Add Healthcheck method for system health validation
- Add thread-safe Stats method for runtime metrics
- Update tests to match new lifecycle management pattern
- Ensure backward compatibility with existing code

The changes introduce a robust lifecycle management pattern
for the memory storage queue with built-in observability and
graceful shutdown capabilities.

Comprehensive Code Review ✅

I've completed a thorough review of this PR that standardizes background worker lifecycle management. Overall, this is an excellent refactoring that demonstrates strong Go idioms and architectural consistency.

Review Summary

✅ Excellent Work:

  • Consistent lifecycle management across components
  • Strong concurrency safety and graceful shutdown
  • Comprehensive test coverage with proper patterns
  • Well-designed observability features
  • Maintains backward compatibility

🚀 Areas of Excellence:

Go Idioms and Best Practices ✅

Excellent adherence to Go conventions:

  • Proper use of functional options pattern for configuration (WithLockCheckInterval, WithMemoryStoreShutdownTimeout)
  • Consistent error handling with predefined error variables (ErrMemoryStorageAlreadyStarted)
  • Clean separation of concerns between lifecycle, business logic, and observability
  • Proper use of atomic operations for metrics and state management
  • Interface satisfaction with implicit implementation

Particularly well-done:

  • memory_storage.go:414-435 - The Run() method's errgroup compatibility pattern is textbook Go
  • Both packages follow consistent naming: Start(), Stop(), Run(), Stats(), Healthcheck()

Error Handling Patterns ✅

Robust error handling:

  • Proper lifecycle state validation (memory_storage.go:340-346, ratelimiter/memory_store.go:147-151)
  • Graceful degradation with timeout handling in shutdown (memory_storage.go:394-408)
  • Clear error messages with context: "shutdown timeout exceeded after %s"
  • Consistent error types across packages in errors.go files

Concurrency Safety ✅

Excellent thread safety:

  • Proper mutex usage protecting shared state (sync.RWMutex for read-heavy operations)
  • Atomic operations for metrics and running state
  • WaitGroup for tracking background operations during shutdown
  • Context cancellation properly propagated throughout

Notable implementation:

  • memory_storage.go:437-449 - The expireLocksWithWait() pattern ensures graceful shutdown waits for active operations
  • Protection against double-start with clear error handling

Performance Considerations ✅

Well-optimized implementations:

  • Read locks for stats collection minimizing contention
  • Atomic counters for high-frequency metrics updates
  • Efficient cleanup algorithms with reasonable thresholds (1-hour stale detection)
  • memory_store.go:118-119 - Smart overflow protection in token bucket math

Good design choices:

  • Default timeouts are reasonable (30s shutdown, 1s lock check)
  • Non-blocking stats collection
  • Minimal lock contention in hot paths

Test Coverage and Quality ✅

Comprehensive test coverage:

  • Lifecycle tests verify Start/Stop/Run patterns work correctly
  • Race condition testing with go test -race
  • Error condition testing (double start, stop before start)
  • Graceful shutdown timeout verification
  • Stats and healthcheck validation

Proper test patterns:

  • Black-box testing with package_test convention
  • Parallel test execution where appropriate
  • Proper cleanup and resource management

API Design and Usability ✅

Excellent API design:

  • Consistent method signatures across components
  • Backward compatibility maintained with deprecated Close() methods
  • Intuitive functional options for configuration
  • Clear stats structures for observability

User-friendly features:

  • Run() method enables errgroup patterns
  • Reasonable defaults (30s timeouts, 1s intervals)
  • Clear documentation about blocking vs non-blocking operations

Documentation Completeness ✅

Well-documented:

  • Clear method comments explaining blocking behavior
  • Updated doc.go with comprehensive examples using new lifecycle patterns
  • Inline comments explaining algorithmic choices (lock expiration, token bucket math)
  • Proper deprecation notices for Close() methods

Specific Observations

Excellent Patterns:

  1. Context Handling (memory_storage.go:358-370) - Proper context cancellation with nested select statements
  2. Metrics Design - Atomic counters with thread-safe stats collection
  3. Shutdown Logic - Timeout-based graceful shutdown preventing deadlocks
  4. Interface Consistency - All components follow the same Start/Stop/Run/Stats/Healthcheck pattern

Minor Enhancement Opportunity:
Consider adding a WithEnabled(bool) option for components that might be conditionally disabled, though this isn't necessary for current use cases.

Conclusion

This is a high-quality refactoring that significantly improves the foundation framework's consistency and observability. The implementation follows Go best practices, provides excellent concurrency safety, and maintains backward compatibility. The comprehensive test coverage and clear documentation make this ready for production use.

Recommendation: ✅ Approve

This PR enhances the framework's robustness while maintaining its simple, intuitive API design principles.


- Improve error message for invalid cleanup interval
- Make error more descriptive about expected configuration
- Update corresponding test assertion

Closes #ISSUE_NUMBER
Replace inline fmt.Errorf calls with predefined error types for
lifecycle state errors. This improves error handling consistency
and enables proper error checking with errors.Is.

Added error types:
- ErrSchedulerAlreadyStarted / ErrSchedulerNotStarted
- ErrWorkerAlreadyStarted / ErrWorkerNotStarted
- ErrMemoryStorageAlreadyStarted / ErrMemoryStorageNotStarted

Addresses PR #25 review suggestion for error type standardization.
Optimized test timeouts while maintaining reliability:
- Reduced lock expiration wait from 2s to 1.1s (accounts for 500ms lock + 1s check interval)
- Reduced task processing waits from 150ms to 100ms
- Reduced background routine wait from 100ms to 50ms
- Updated comments for clarity

Tests still pass with -race flag. Reduces overall test suite execution time.

Addresses PR #25 review suggestion for test timeout reduction.
Replace inline fmt.Errorf calls with predefined error types for
lifecycle state errors in MemoryStore. This improves consistency
with the queue package and enables proper error checking with errors.Is.

Added error types:
- ErrMemoryStoreAlreadyStarted
- ErrMemoryStoreNotStarted

Addresses PR #25 review suggestion for error type consistency.
Replace InfoContext(context.Background()), WarnContext(context.Background())
with Info(), Warn() in shutdown and lifecycle logging scenarios where no
meaningful context is available.

Following Go logging best practices:
- Use *Context() methods when you have a valid request/operation context
- Use non-context methods when context is unavailable or cancelled

Affected components:
- core/queue: Scheduler, Worker, MemoryStorage shutdown logs
- pkg/ratelimiter: MemoryStore shutdown logs

All tests pass.
