SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Streaming pipelines often emit multiple results for the same dedup key when per-item async enrichment is performed after a pre-check, causing invisible or duplicate entries in UI and incorrect counts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Synchronous dedup reservation: reserve the slot before spawning async work to prevent duplicates.
  • Await all async tasks before done: avoid premature completion by waiting on Promise.all for all in-flight work.
  • Cache shared resources: reuse I/O results across concurrent requests to reduce redundant work.
  • Use cases include SSE/WebSocket streaming dashboards, real-time analytics pipelines, and UI lists that require strict one-emission-per-key guarantees.

Quick Start

Run the async dedup race fixes on your streaming pipeline to ensure that each dedup key yields at most one result and that all async processing completes before signaling pipeline completion.

FAQPage Schema
Why does my streaming pipeline emit duplicate entries for the same key during async enrichment?

Duplicate emissions in streaming pipelines occur when dedup checks run after per-item async work begins, allowing concurrent requests to pass the check simultaneously. Moving dedup reservations to execute synchronously before spawning async work prevents this race condition and ensures strict one-emission-per-key guarantees.

How do I prevent duplicate WebSocket emissions when async enrichment results arrive late?

Prevent late WebSocket emissions by reserving dedup slots synchronously before async work starts, then awaiting all in-flight promises with Promise.all before signaling stream completion. This guarantees all async processing finishes and avoids premature closure dropping valid results.

What is the best way to handle dedup races in SSE streaming dashboards?

The best way to handle dedup races in SSE streaming dashboards is to implement synchronous dedup reservations before async enrichment, await all promises with Promise.all, and use a shared-resource cache to reuse I/O results across concurrent requests, ensuring each dedup key yields at most one result.

Do I need to await all async tasks before closing a WebSocket stream?

Yes, you need to await all async tasks with Promise.all before closing a WebSocket stream. Premature completion signaling causes late async enrichment results to be dropped when the stream closes, leading to invisible UI entries and incorrect counts in streaming pipelines.

How does caching shared resources reduce redundant I/O in async streaming pipelines?

Caching shared resources reduces redundant I/O in async streaming pipelines by reusing results across concurrent requests for the same dedup key. This small shared-resource cache minimizes duplicate fetches during per-item async enrichment while maintaining strict dedup guarantees.
