Charles Bochet 1ebcbdda42 feat(server): export event-loop delay and workspace-cache recompute metrics (#23751)
## What

Exports three sets of metrics to Prometheus to diagnose the recurring
"Slow DB Query" Sentry issues on `POST /graphql` (e.g. the
`fieldMetadata` select):

- `twenty_nodejs_eventloop_delay_seconds` (mean/p50/p99/max) +
`twenty_nodejs_eventloop_utilization`
- `twenty_workspace_cache_recompute_duration_seconds{cache_key}` — wall
time per provider `computeForCache`
- `twenty_workspace_cache_redis_write_duration_seconds` — serialize +
Redis write time for recomputed entries

## Why

Investigation of these issues showed:
- The flagged query executes in ~1ms (prod EXPLAIN), so it is not a
query/index problem.
- Event counts do **not** correlate with connection-pool acquire latency
(Pearson ~0 against both p99 and the direct count of >1s acquires), so
it is not pool contention.
- Event counts **do** correlate with pod CPU (Pearson +0.40).

The leading explanation is that the slow `db` span is inflated by
event-loop saturation during the workspace metadata cache recompute:
`Promise.all` parallelizes the I/O, but the synchronous work it cannot
parallelize (TypeORM entity hydration of JSONB-heavy result sets, then
`JSON.stringify` of the flat-map payloads into Redis) blocks the single
event-loop thread, so an awaiting query resolves ~1.3s late.

Node event-loop delay was only being collected by Sentry's
`nodeRuntimeMetricsIntegration`, never exported to Prometheus, so it
could not be graphed or correlated in Grafana. These metrics confirm (or
refute) the mechanism and give a before/after baseline for the fix.
Grafana panels land in a companion twenty-infra PR.

## Notes

- Metric-only change; no behavioral change to the cache.
- Uses the same OTel `MetricsService` / meter as the existing DB pool
metrics.

Installation

Cloud

The fastest way to get started. Sign up at twenty.com and spin up a workspace in under a minute, with no infrastructure to manage and always up to date.

Build an app

Scaffold a new app with the Twenty CLI:

npx create-twenty-app my-app

Define objects, fields, and views as code:

import { defineObject, FieldType } from 'twenty-sdk/define';

export default defineObject({
  nameSingular: 'deal',
  namePlural: 'deals',
  labelSingular: 'Deal',
  labelPlural: 'Deals',
  fields: [
    { name: 'name', label: 'Name', type: FieldType.TEXT },
    { name: 'amount', label: 'Amount', type: FieldType.CURRENCY },
    { name: 'closeDate', label: 'Close Date', type: FieldType.DATE_TIME },
  ],
});

Then ship it to your workspace:

npx twenty app:publish --private

See the app development guide for objects, views, agents, and logic functions.

Self-hosting

Run Twenty on your own infrastructure with Docker Compose, or contribute locally via the local setup guide.
