Motivation

The dataclasses.asdict() function is heavily used in the hot path for serializing RequestMetrics. This function uses recursive deepcopy under the hood, introducing significant serialization overhead that grows with scale and request volume.

Modifications

  1. fastdeploy/worker/output.py: Added a to_dict() method to SpeculateMetrics that explicitly builds and returns a dictionary using shallow copies.
  2. fastdeploy/engine/request.py: Rewrote RequestMetrics.to_dict() to iterate over __dataclass_fields__ with getattr(), explicitly copying primitives and calling .to_dict() or falling back to asdict for nested classes, avoiding the global deepcopy penalty.

Usage or Command

No new commands. Serialization happens automatically under the hood during inference logging.

Accuracy Tests

N/A - Functional tests pass locally: pytest tests/engine/test_request.py. Performance microbenchmark shows ~3x speedup on serialization locally.

Checklist

  • Run black & isort
  • Run relevant unit tests
  • Tested performance improvement

…teMetrics

Replaces the slow `dataclasses.asdict()` with custom `to_dict()` methods
that explicitly iterate over fields and copy them. This avoids the recursive
deepcopy overhead and significantly improves serialization performance on the
hot path.

Pull request overview

该 PR 针对推理链路中 metrics 的热路径序列化开销进行优化,避免 dataclasses.asdict() 递归 deepcopy 带来的性能损耗,提升 RequestMetrics/SpeculateMetrics 的序列化效率。

Changes:

  • SpeculateMetrics 新增 to_dict(),以浅拷贝方式输出可序列化字典
  • 重写 RequestMetrics.to_dict():遍历 __dataclass_fields__,对基础类型直写、对嵌套 dataclass 调用 to_dict()/asdict,对 list/dict 做浅拷贝
  • 新增 .jules/bolt.md 记录本次 Bolt 学习与行动项

当前虽然优化了 RequestMetrics.to_dict(),但仓库内仍存在对 RequestMetrics 使用 dataclasses.asdict() 的序列化路径(例如 Request.to_dict() 里 data.update(asdict(self.metrics)))。这会继续触发递归 deepcopy,导致本次优化在部分场景下收益被抵消;建议将这些调用点改为 metrics.to_dict()(或至少避免对 RequestMetrics 调用 asdict)。

RequestMetrics.to_dict() 的序列化逻辑从 asdict() 改为手写遍历后,建议补充单测覆盖关键输出(尤其是 speculate_metrics 为 SpeculateMetrics 时应走其 to_dict(),并验证返回结构/字段名不变),以防后续字段变更或嵌套类型变化导致兼容性回归。

新增 SpeculateMetrics.to_dict() 后建议补充对应单测(例如构造 SpeculateMetrics 并断言 to_dict() 输出字段与 dataclass 字段一致、list 字段被正确序列化),避免后续字段调整或类型变化时出现静默不兼容。
