<p><strong>Status</strong>: Accepted | Implemented
<strong>Date</strong>: 2024-11-01
<strong>Deciders</strong>: Runtime Architecture Team
<strong>Technical Story</strong>: Selecting async runtime for I/O-heavy workload (API, DB, LLM calls)</p>
<hr />
<h2 id="decision"><a class="header" href="#decision">Decision</a></h2>
<p>Usar <strong>Tokio multi-threaded runtime</strong> con configuración default (no single-threaded, no custom thread pool).</p>
<hr />
<h2 id="rationale"><a class="header" href="#rationale">Rationale</a></h2>
<ol>
<li><strong>I/O-Heavy Workload</strong>: VAPORA hace many concurrent calls (SurrealDB, NATS, LLM APIs, WebSockets)</li>
<li><strong>Multi-Core Scalability</strong>: Multi-threaded distributes work across cores eficientemente</li>
<li><strong>Production-Ready</strong>: Tokio es de-facto estándar en Rust async ecosystem</li>
<li><strong>Minimal Config Overhead</strong>: Default settings tuned para la mayoría de casos</li>
</ol>
<hr />
<h2 id="alternatives-considered"><a class="header" href="#alternatives-considered">Alternatives Considered</a></h2>
<h3 id="-single-threaded-tokio-tokiomain-single_threaded"><a class="header" href="#-single-threaded-tokio-tokiomain-single_threaded">❌ Single-Threaded Tokio (<code>tokio::main</code> single_threaded)</a></h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Pros</strong>: Simpler to debug, predictable ordering</li>
<li><strong>Cons</strong>: Single core only, no scaling, inadequate for concurrent workload</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="-custom-threadpool"><a class="header" href="#-custom-threadpool">❌ Custom ThreadPool</a></h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Pros</strong>: Full control</li>
<li><strong>Cons</strong>: Manual scheduling, error-prone, maintenance burden</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="-tokio-multi-threaded-chosen"><a class="header" href="#-tokio-multi-threaded-chosen">✅ Tokio Multi-Threaded (CHOSEN)</a></h3>
<ul>
<li>Production-ready, well-tuned, scales across cores</li>
</ul>
<hr />
<h2 id="trade-offs"><a class="header" href="#trade-offs">Trade-offs</a></h2>
<p><strong>Pros</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>✅ Scales across all CPU cores</li>
<li>✅ Efficient I/O multiplexing (epoll on Linux, kqueue on macOS)</li>
<li>✅ Proven in production systems</li>
<li>✅ Built-in task spawning with <code>tokio::spawn</code></li>
<li>✅ Graceful shutdown handling</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Cons</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>⚠️ More complex debugging (multiple threads)</li>
<li>⚠️ Potential data race if <code>Send/Sync</code> bounds not respected</li>
<li>⚠️ Memory overhead (per-thread stacks)</li>
</ul>

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -&gt; Result&lt;()&gt; {
// Default: worker threads = num_cpus(), stack size = 2MB
// Equivalent to:
// let rt = tokio::runtime::Builder::new_multi_thread()
// .worker_threads(num_cpus::get())
// .enable_all()
// .build()?;

<p><strong>Async Task Spawning</strong>:</p>

</span>// Spawn independent task (runs concurrently on available worker)
tokio::spawn(async {

</span><span class="boring">fn main() {

# Profile thread behavior

<p><strong>Expected Output</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Worker threads = number of CPU cores</li>
<li>Concurrent requests handled efficiently</li>
<li>CPU usage distributed across cores</li>
<li>Low context switching overhead</li>
<li>Latency p99 &lt; 100ms for simple endpoints</li>

<h2 id="consequences"><a class="header" href="#consequences">Consequences</a></h2>
<h3 id="concurrency-model"><a class="header" href="#concurrency-model">Concurrency Model</a></h3>
<ul>
<li>Use <code>Arc&lt;&gt;</code> for shared state (cheap clones)</li>
<li>Use <code>tokio::sync::RwLock</code>, <code>Mutex</code>, <code>broadcast</code> for synchronization</li>
<li>Avoid blocking operations in async code (use <code>block_in_place</code>)</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="error-handling"><a class="header" href="#error-handling">Error Handling</a></h3>
<ul>
<li>Panics in spawned tasks don't kill runtime (captured via <code>JoinHandle</code>)</li>
<li>Use <code>.await?</code> for proper error propagation</li>
<li>Set panic hook for graceful degradation</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="monitoring"><a class="header" href="#monitoring">Monitoring</a></h3>
<ul>
<li>Track task queue depth (available via <code>tokio-console</code>)</li>
<li>Monitor executor CPU usage</li>
<li>Alert if thread starvation detected</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="performance-tuning"><a class="header" href="#performance-tuning">Performance Tuning</a></h3>
<ul>
<li>Default settings adequate for most workloads</li>
<li>Only customize if profiling shows bottleneck</li>
<li>Typical: num_workers = num_cpus, stack size = 2MB</li>
