Thomas Trompette fb0a54c73a fix(server): pace lambda control-plane calls to avoid 'Rate exceeded' on release (#22569)
## Problem

Logic functions intermittently fail with:

```
Lambda invocation failed for function '<id>' during build: Rate exceeded
```

`Rate exceeded` is AWS Lambda's control-plane throttling
(`TooManyRequestsException`), thrown during the **build** phase — before
invoke — inside `buildExecutor`.

### Why it spikes on release
A build is skipped (`canSkip = true`, zero control-plane calls) unless
the executor is missing/inactive **or**
`flatApplication.isSdkLayerStale` is true. `isSdkLayerStale` is flipped
to `true` for the **whole application at once** whenever the SDK client
regenerates (app install / development / schema change).

So on release, every logic function in the app goes stale simultaneously
→ each enters `ensureExecutor` in its own per-function lock → a burst of
`Create`/`Update`/`PublishLayer`/`GetFunction` calls across many
functions at once → the low, account-region-wide control-plane quota is
exceeded → `Rate exceeded`. Between releases everything is warm and no
control-plane calls happen — hence "spikes on release, silent
otherwise".

The Lambda client was created with no retry override, so it used the SDK
default (`standard` mode, `maxAttempts = 3`): a few retries with
backoff, but no client-side pacing.

## Change

Configure the shared Lambda client with:
- `retryMode: 'adaptive'` — adds a client-side token-bucket rate limiter
that slows outgoing requests when it sees throttling, instead of
fire-then-backoff.
- `maxAttempts: 8` — rides out the burst.

Applied after the options spread so it always takes effect, and covers
**every** control-plane call including the
`waitUntilFunctionActive/UpdatedV2` pollers (same client).

## Scope / follow-up

This is the cheap, high-leverage mitigation and dampens the burst per
process. It does **not** add a cross-function/cross-pod concurrency cap,
so a large enough release across multiple replicas could still exceed
the account quota. A follow-up could add a limiter (in-process
semaphore, or a distributed token bucket via the existing Redis
cache-lock) around `ensureExecutor`.

## Testing

- `tsc --noEmit` on twenty-server: clean.
- Not runtime-tested — AWS control-plane throttling can't be reproduced
locally. Worth confirming against a real release-time CloudWatch window
after deploy.

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.
