Page both sitemaps from the search index, not a row_number() walk - #1990
Conversation
/sitemap.xml has been returning 500 on prod. Building the index needs the boundary between every 25,000-job chunk, and the query finding them numbered every sitemap-eligible row with row_number() — a walk of the whole set, which cannot stop early. Measured on prod 2026-08-16: 64s over 3.4M rows (762k of the "index-only" scan's fetches went to the heap; autovacuum trails the ingest), well past the SSR fetch timeout of 10s. Only nginx serving a stale cached copy kept the sitemap reachable at all — a cache-busted request answered 500 in 10.7s. Page the Meilisearch index instead. It reports its document count for free, so the chunk boundaries become arithmetic — no query at all — and it addresses any offset directly rather than walking to it: offset 0 and offset 1.2M both answer in under 0.25s, a full 25k page in ~2.5s. The index also holds a better set than the table did. It carries open, non-duplicate, non-private, categorized postings; the table's equivalent scope is 2.7x larger and includes 2.1M postings the site's own search cannot find, plus 10 private ones that were leaking into the sitemap. 51 full files replace ~137, and a crawler asking for an offset past the end gets an empty file, never an error. Verified against the live prod index over a read-only tunnel: 51 chunks, a 13,112 -document tail, and an out-of-range offset answering empty in 209ms. Drops ListJobSitemapChunk and JobSitemapBoundaries, whose SQL has no other caller. The job sitemap's paging tests no longer need Postgres, so they move from internal/db's integration suite to a unit test over a stub index; the integration test keeps only what still needs a real router — that /jobs/sitemap is not swallowed by /jobs/:slug.
Finishes what the previous commit started for jobs. The company boundary query had the same shape — row_number() over every hiring company, ~292k rows, to find the slug ending each 10k chunk — so it was on the same trajectory as the job one that reached 64s. Both halves now page a Meilisearch index by offset, and neither sitemap touches Postgres at all. The companies index carries no updated_at, so CompanyDocument gains one, solely to emit <lastmod>. It is deliberately not searchable, filterable, or sortable: a crawler hint, not a query surface. That attribute only reaches the index on the next reindex-companies, so the read path treats a missing lastmod as normal — such a URL ships without the tag rather than dropping out of the sitemap, which is what makes this safe to deploy ahead of the reindex. The wire field is `omitzero`, NOT `omitempty`: omitempty does nothing to a time.Time (a struct is never "empty"), so the zero instant would have shipped as <lastmod>0001-01-01T00:00:00Z</lastmod> to every crawler. There is a test on exactly that. Verified against the live prod companies index over a read-only tunnel: 292,271 documents, 30 chunks, an 851ms first page, a 2,271-document tail, and an out-of-range offset answering empty rather than erroring. Both sitemap integration tests are deleted, not ported: the SQL they covered is gone, and what remained — that /jobs/sitemap and /companies/sitemap are not swallowed by the :slug catch-alls — is now a unit test that asserts through the handler's own register(), so it pins the real route order without Postgres.

CodeRabbit review on #1990, both findings valid. sitemapChunk floored ?chunk= at 1, and the boundary list's length is total/chunk — so an unauthenticated ?chunk=1 asked the server to allocate and serialize one int64 per indexed document: 1.26M today, growing with the catalogue, on a public route. Floored at 1000, the same request yields ~1.3k offsets and still covers the whole index. It is below both chunk sizes we serve (10k companies, 25k jobs), so it only ever binds a hand-crafted request. The new test asserts the floor clamps rather than truncates — the last offset must still open the final page. The existing boundary tests moved to multiples of the floor: at ?chunk=2 they were about to be answered for 1000 and prove nothing. Also fixes two comments that described the code as it was before this branch: api.ts still claimed jobs ship a freshest slice and companies are keyset-paged, and the SitemapDocument doc said the slug is read by position in the requested fields when it is read by its per-index map key.
CodeRabbit Autofix Review CompleteReviewed 2 CodeRabbit feedback items, both applied in Files modified:
Validated: |
Measured on prod after #1990 shipped: a 25k page is ~2.5s warm, but 8s on the deepest offset with the host under load — against this route's 10s fetch timeout. That is a file which renders fine until the box is busy and then 500s, which is the same shape of latent failure /sitemap.xml itself was in before #1990 (it answered 200 from a stale nginx cache while every uncached request errored). 10k puts a page at ~1-3s. The cost is 127 sub-sitemaps instead of 51, which a sitemap index carries for free — its own cap is 50,000 entries. Cheap files beat a narrow deadline here because there is no partial credit: the crawler either gets a file or gets an error, so the failure mode of being slightly too slow is losing 25,000 URLs rather than delivering them late.
Why
/sitemap.xmlreturns 500 on prod. It is only reachable at all because nginx keeps serving a stale cached copy (x-cache-status: UPDATING); a cache-busted request answers 500 in 10.7s.Building the sitemap index needs the boundary between chunks, and both boundary queries numbered every eligible row with
row_number()— a walk that cannot stop early. Measured on prod 2026-08-16:The migration that introduced the job query sized it for ~1.1M rows. The open, non-duplicate set is now 3.4M.
What changed
Both sitemaps page a Meilisearch index by offset instead. The engine reports its document count on every response, so chunk boundaries become arithmetic — no query at all — and it addresses any offset directly:
The index also holds a better set than the table did — open, non-duplicate, non-private, categorized. The table's equivalent scope is 2.7x larger and includes 2.1M postings the site's own search cannot find, plus 10 private ones that were leaking into the sitemap.
