From 31cb31d0fbf947648b34a9bccb6f9e18977c44cd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: master <> Date: Tue, 10 Mar 2026 02:36:01 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Eliminate Valkey queue polling fallback (phase 2 CPU optimization) Replace hardcoded 1-5s polling constants with configurable QueueWaitTimeoutSeconds (default 0 = pure event-driven). Consumers now only wake on pub/sub notifications, eliminating ~118 idle XREADGROUP polls per second across 59 services. Override with VALKEY_QUEUE_WAIT_TIMEOUT env var if a safety-net poll is needed.
