## Context [#23183](https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/pull/23183) introduced the right enforcement point: every logic-function execution is rejected centrally before consuming the shared workspace throttle when its application is stopped. However, its server-wide path reads PostgreSQL for every execution attempt. A kill switch is most useful while an application is producing abnormal load, potentially while PostgreSQL is already under pressure. The enforcement mechanism should not add more database traffic in that situation. This state is also operational and temporary. It is used to troubleshoot an application, not as durable application configuration. ## What this PR changes - Uses one global Redis key per application universal identifier: ```text module:applications:kill-switch:{applicationUniversalIdentifier} ``` - Keeps the check in `LogicFunctionExecutorService`, before the workspace execution throttle. - Adds a 60-second process-local cache for both present and absent keys. - Deduplicates concurrent cache refreshes, so an execution burst causes at most one Redis read per application and process. - Fails open when Redis cannot be read and caches that result for the same minute, avoiding a Redis retry storm. - Removes the database columns, upgrade command, workspace-cache recomputation, registration lookup, and stop/start CLI commands introduced by #23183. - Keeps disabled queued executions non-retriable, without emitting one warning for every skipped payload. The switch is operated directly in Redis. For example: ```redis SET module:applications:kill-switch:{applicationUniversalIdentifier} 1 EX 3600 DEL module:applications:kill-switch:{applicationUniversalIdentifier} ``` Any value means stopped; deleting or expiring the key means enabled. ## Why this is a better fit | | #23183 | This PR | |---|---|---| | State | Durable PostgreSQL fields | Ephemeral Redis key | | Server-wide hot path | PostgreSQL lookup per execution | At most one Redis lookup per app/process/minute | | Scope | Workspace and application registration | Application universal identifier across all workspaces | | Operational cleanup | Explicit start command | `DEL`, eviction, restart, or operator-selected TTL | | Database dependency during an incident | Required | None | The trade-off is deliberate: a Redis change can take up to 60 seconds to reach every process, and the switch is lost when the cache key disappears. That is acceptable for a temporary troubleshooting control and keeps the normal execution path inexpensive. Existing in-flight functions are not interrupted. New direct or queued executions are rejected when they reach the executor.

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.
