perf(api): share organization region reads across isolates - #1317
Conversation
ensureServedHere called Clerk on every fresh isolate, about 170 ms of every cold request. Region answers now go through the Workers cache as well as the isolate memo, so a new isolate in the same data center reuses the answer instead of calling Clerk. Each entry keeps the time Clerk was read and every tier measures age from it, so the 60 s (chosen) and 5 s (still open) bounds hold end to end. Only a yes is stored and Clerk failures are never stored. chooseRegion drops the cached answer after it writes the region.

Maple review🟡 Confidence 5/10 · needs attention Since the last review the only change is a 1 s edge-cache read deadline on the shared org-regions bucket, read on every authenticated request; that deadline is longer than the Clerk call it falls back to, so a queued read stalls the request for up to a second. The two-tier region cache itself is sound and safe to merge once that value is brought back in line.

135-140: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low valueRefresh the shared entry after a logically stale hit.
getOrComputereturns a cache hit without running its compute effect. The Workers cache stores the entry with a TTL that starts when the write completes, butreadAtMsis captured before the Clerk request. Therefore, while the entry remains in Workers cache but is stale byisFresh, each fresh isolate can call Clerk again. That result updates only the isolate-localrememberedmap.The stale window is the Clerk read duration.
Math.ceiladds no extra time here because both configured TTLs are exact whole seconds. Useinvalidate({ bucket: REGIONS_CACHE_BUCKET, key: orgId })before recomputing throughgetOrCompute; this is the supported eviction path and uses the same hashed key. A directrawPutis not equivalent because it passes the raw key whilegetOrComputehashes the key.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

The preview showed that a fresh isolate's first Workers cache read takes 90 to 340 ms (p10 to p90), against 13 ms warm. A 40 ms deadline threw every cold hit away, and a long one let slow reads cost more than Clerk. The shared read now runs alone for 40 ms. If it has not answered, Clerk is asked as well and the first answer wins. A late hit still beats a slower Clerk call, and a hung read can no longer cost more than Clerk. EdgeCacheService gains a per-call read deadline on rawGetDetailed and a rawDelete for raw-keyed entries.
Maple review🟢 Confidence 8/10 · likely safe to merge Adds a Workers-cache tier shared across isolates for organization region answers, hedges it against Clerk on cold isolates, and drops both tiers when a region is chosen. Contained to the region-serving auth path and covered by new tests.

Warning
The late-miss branch of readShared has no test
F3 · Warning · tests
The only test that reaches the hedge hangs the shared read (OrganizationRegionService.test.ts:167), so lateHit never fails, and nothing pins what happens when the shared read resolves to a miss after the 40 ms hedge. That is the case where the read has no entry while Clerk is already in flight, and how it resolves is exactly what decides whether a cross-region request is still refused or is served with no region answer at all.
Add an `it.effect` where the backend `get` is delayed ~100 ms and returns no entry, Clerk answers `chosen("eu")` after ~500 ms, and the shared read is read past the 40 ms hedge; assert `ensureServedHere` fails with `OrganizationWrongRegionError` (so a late miss still hands over to Clerk).

Problem
27% of browser API calls land on a fresh maple-api isolate. Those calls are slower inside the server span, and all of the difference is I/O. The largest single item is
OrganizationRegionService.ensureServedHere, which runs in every authenticated request (ApiAuthorizationLayer,ApiAuthorizationV2Layer,SessionAuthorizationLayer).Production, 2026-10-06 00:00 to 2026-10-08 14:40 UTC:
ensureServedHerep50 / p95Cause
ensureServedHerereads the organization's Clerk public metadata (regions) throughgetOrganization. The answer was cached only in a per-isolateMap. Isolates that serve browser traffic live about 161 s and serve about 5 requests, so every new isolate paid a full Clerk call (p50 177 ms, p95 704 ms). Warm isolates miss too, once the 60 s (chosen region) or 5 s (region still open) entry expires.Fix
Region answers now have two tiers:
Refof aHashMapinstead of a mutableMap.EdgeCacheService, bucketorg-regions), shared by every isolate in a data center.The shared read is hedged against Clerk. On the preview, a fresh isolate's first Workers cache read took 90 to 340 ms (p10 to p90), against 8 to 13 ms on a warm isolate. That is the same first-I/O cost production Clerk calls show on fresh isolates (+47 ms us, +104 ms eu). With the usual 40 ms read deadline every cold hit was thrown away. With a long deadline, a slow read cost more than Clerk would have. So the shared read runs alone for 40 ms. If it has not answered by then, Clerk is asked as well and the first answer wins. A late hit still beats a slower Clerk call, and a hung read can no longer cost more than Clerk.
EdgeCacheServicegains a per-call deadline onrawGetDetailedand arawDelete, so the service reads, writes and drops its raw-keyed entries without the 40 ms default.Why the Workers cache:
CacheBackendLive.ts), and needs a new binding.TTL and staleness:
readAtMs, the time Clerk was read. Both tiers measure age from it, and a stale shared entry is read again from Clerk. A region answer is never reused for longer than today: 60 s once the region is chosen or the choice window has passed, 5 s while the organization can still choose.ensureServedHerefor the same org in the same region finished within the previous 60 s. Raising the TTL to 15 min adds about one point.OrganizationService.chooseRegion, the only code that writes a region, now callsOrganizationRegionService.forgetafter the write. That drops the isolate entry and the shared entry.Spans keep their names.
OrganizationRegionService.readnow carriescache.hit,cache.layer(isolate,edgeororigin) andcache.hedgedwhen Clerk was asked too. The shared read also appears as anEdgeCache.rawGetDetailedchild with the usualcache.*attributes.Tests in
OrganizationRegionService.test.tscover the isolate hit, a fresh isolate hitting the shared tier, the 60 s and 5 s expiry measured from the Clerk read (TestClock),forgetafter a region write, a Clerk failure not being cached, a refusal not being cached, a hung shared read handing over to Clerk, and a slow shared hit beating a slower Clerk.Before / After
