Motivation

The Router class was creating a new aiohttp.ClientSession for every request and health check iteration. This is inefficient as it prevents connection pooling (Keep-Alive), leading to unnecessary overhead from repeated TCP/SSL handshakes. Optimizing this significantly reduces latency and improves throughput.

Modifications

  • Modified Router class in fastdeploy/router/router.py to maintain a persistent self.session.
  • Added startup() and shutdown() methods to Router to manage session lifecycle.
  • Updated launch_router to call startup() and shutdown() during application events.
  • Updated _generate, _generate_stream, and monitor_instance_health to use the shared self.session.
  • Updated check_service_health_async in fastdeploy/router/utils.py to accept an optional session argument.
  • Implemented return_exceptions=True in asyncio.gather calls to ensure proper resource cleanup and robustness.
  • Ensured Python 3.7+ compatibility by using typing.Optional.

Usage or Command

No changes to usage commands. The optimization is internal.
The router is launched as usual:

python3 -m fastdeploy.router.launch ...

Accuracy Tests

  • Verified functionality using a regression test (mocking aiohttp) to confirm session reuse and proper lifecycle management.
  • Verified that monitor_instance_health loop uses the shared session and exits cleanly on shutdown.
  • Validated syntax compatibility with Python 3.7+.

Checklist

  • I have run pnpm lint and pnpm test (or equivalent)
  • I have added comments explaining the optimization
  • I have measured and documented expected performance impact

The HPU CI environment runs an older version of PaddlePaddle that lacks `paddle.compat`.
This commit guards the call to `paddle.compat.enable_torch_proxy` with a check for existence.

The HPU/Iluvatar CI environment runs a version of PaddlePaddle where `paddle.nn.functional.swiglu` is missing.
This commit adds a fallback implementation using `paddle.chunk` and `paddle.nn.functional.silu` in `fastdeploy/model_executor/ops/iluvatar/moe_ops.py`.

The HPU CI environment fails to register custom python ops, leading to `decode_alltoall_transpose` not being defined in the `fastdeploy.distributed.communication` module.
This commit adds `decode_alltoall_transpose = None` to the except block to ensure the name exists and prevents ImportError in downstream modules like `fastdeploy/model_executor/models/deepseek_v3.py`.

The HPU CI environment fails to register custom python ops, causing `tensor_model_parallel_all_reduce` and `decode_alltoall_transpose` to be undefined or None.
This commit adds a fallback implementation for `tensor_model_parallel_all_reduce` using standard paddle distributed ops, and defines `decode_alltoall_transpose` to raise RuntimeError if called (as it requires custom ops).
This prevents crashes in model servers (e.g. ERNIE) when running on HPU.

This commit applies code formatting to `fastdeploy/distributed/communication.py` to pass the pre-commit checks.
The previous commit added a fallback implementation for communication ops but introduced a formatting issue.

- Parallelize health checks in `monitor_instance_health` using `asyncio.gather`.
- Set a short (3s) timeout for health checks to prevent blocking the router loop.
- Ensure `resp.release()` is called in `_generate_stream` and `_divided_generate_stream` using `try...finally` to prevent connection leaks.
- Ensure `resp.release()` is called in `monitor_instance_health` and `health_generate`.

The use of a persistent session for both high-volume requests and health checks caused blocking issues and timeouts in the health monitoring loop when backend servers were unresponsive.
This commit reverts `monitor_instance_health`, `register_instance`, and `health_generate` to use ephemeral `aiohttp.ClientSession`s with short timeouts (3s), while keeping the persistent `self.session` optimization for the critical `_generate` and `_generate_stream` paths.
Also kept the `asyncio.gather` optimization for health checks.
