## Summary
### Why
1. Sending the code to the lambda (~1Mb usually) is heavy on network and
results to a constant traffic of ~30Mb/s on AWS which results into TB of
network data every month
2. eval(1MB of code) is not that fast, it's heavy on memory and CPU on
lambda side
### High level
Adds two execution modes for logic functions, gated behind the new
`IS_LOGIC_FUNCTION_PREBUILT_MODE_ENABLED` workspace feature flag (off
everywhere by default):
- **LIVE** (current behavior, preserved bit-for-bit): the compiled
bundle is read from object storage and shipped in every Lambda invoke
payload. Used for fast iteration in the workflow editor / Settings test
runs.
- **PREBUILT** (new): the bundle is installed onto the per-function
Lambda alongside the unified executor, and invocations carry only `{
params, env, handlerName }` — saving JSON payload egress and warm-start
`import()` cost on every call.
### Key design choices
- **Unified Lambda handler** (`constants/executor/index.mjs`) dispatches
at runtime: `event.code` present ? LIVE (write to `/tmp`, dynamic
import) : `import('./prebuilt-logic-function.mjs')`. Both code paths
always coexist on the deployment package, so the same Lambda can serve
either mode without redeploying.
- **Install runs inside the `validateBuildAndRun` migration pipeline**,
not at execute time. `Create/UpdateLogicFunctionActionHandlerService`
calls `driver.installPrebuiltBundle` when `executionMode` flips
LIVE?PREBUILT or `checksum` changes while PREBUILT, gated on
`isBuildUpToDate=true` and a fresh checksum.
- **Strict execute, no reconciliation**:
`LogicFunctionExecutorService.execute` resolves `effectiveExecutionMode`
(caller override > feature flag > entity column). For PREBUILT it asks
the driver `getInstalledBundleChecksum` (Lambda `twenty:bundle-checksum`
tag for AWS, sidecar file locally) and throws
`LOGIC_FUNCTION_PREBUILT_BUNDLE_NOT_INSTALLED` on mismatch.
- **Feature flag gates every side effect**: with the flag off the
executor forces LIVE, the action-handler install hooks bail before AWS,
and workflow activation does not flip the mode. Rollback is just turning
the flag off.
### Lifecycle
- New workflow CODE step ? `LIVE`, no install.
- Workflow activated ? build + activation flips `executionMode=PREBUILT`
? action-handler installs the bundle + sets the Lambda tag.
- Draft from active version ? duplicated logic function reset to `LIVE`.
- App install ? manifest converter sets `PREBUILT`, create-action
handler installs.
- Test runs (`executeOneFromSource`, workflow editor) pass
`executionMode=LIVE` explicitly.
### Observability
`[lambda-timing]` log lines now include `effectiveExecutionMode` and
`payloadBytes`; the action handler logs `install_duration_ms` for each
install.
## Test plan
- [x] `npx nx typecheck twenty-server` ? passes
- [x] `npx oxlint --type-aware` on all changed files ? 0 warnings, 0
errors
- [x] `npx nx test twenty-server` ? 588 suites / 5009 tests pass (no
regressions vs main)
- [x] New unit suite `flat-logic-function-validator.service.spec.ts` ?
9/9
- [x] Existing
`workflow-version-step-operations.workspace-service.spec.ts` ? 8/8
(verified the new token-based DI avoids a circular-import regression)
- [x] Snapshot for
`ALL_UNIVERSAL_FLAT_ENTITY_PROPERTIES_TO_COMPARE_AND_STRINGIFY` updated
to include `executionMode`
- [x] Integration suite `logic-function-execution.integration-spec.ts`
extended to assert `executionMode=LIVE` on newly-created functions and
continues to exercise the LIVE happy path
- [ ] Manual staging rollout: flip
`IS_LOGIC_FUNCTION_PREBUILT_MODE_ENABLED` per workspace, observe
`[lambda-timing]` `payloadBytes` drop + `install_duration_ms`, then ramp
in prod.

Why Twenty
Twenty gives technical teams the building blocks for a custom CRM that meets complex business needs and quickly adapts as the business evolves. Twenty is the CRM you build, ship, and version like the rest of your stack.

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.
Everything you need
Twenty gives you the building blocks of a modern CRM (objects, views, workflows, and agents) and lets you extend them as code. Here's a tour of what's in the box.
