Summary

Moves heavy cloud SDK imports (boto3, azure.*, googleapiclient, google_auth_oauthlib) from module level into function scope across web/pgadmin/misc/cloud/.

Blueprint and route registrations remain eager, but third-party client libraries are now only imported when a user interacts with a cloud wizard. Subsequent calls remain fast via standard sys.modules caching.

Changes

  • AWS RDS (misc/cloud/rds): Inlined boto3.session.Session in get_regions() and boto3 in RDS._get_aws_client().
  • Azure (misc/cloud/azure): Added _azure_sdk() helper for AzureCliCredential, DeviceCodeCredential, AuthenticationRecord, PostgreSQLManagementClient, ResourceManagementClient, SubscriptionClient, and NameAvailabilityRequest.
  • Google Cloud (misc/cloud/google): Inlined InstalledAppFlow and Request; added _google_sdk() helper for discovery and HttpError. Preserved sys.modules.setdefault('oauth2client', None) at the module top.

Import Time Impact (python -X importtime)

Module Before (ms) After (ms) Reduction
RDS 990.6 ms 338.3 ms 652.3 ms (65.9%)
Azure 1072.6 ms 103.1 ms 969.5 ms (90.4%)
Google Cloud 1051.8 ms 147.0 ms 904.8 ms (86.0%)
Combined (all 3) 1856.1 ms 109.5 ms 1746.6 ms (94.1%)

(Combined import time drops by ~1.75s / 94.1% during startup)

Verification made by my AI agent for the changes:

  • All 24 unit test scenarios in web/pgadmin/misc/cloud/ pass cleanly.
  • Verified that cloud SDKs are absent from sys.modules on blueprint load and resolve properly on demand.
  • pycodestyle passed with 0 errors/warnings.

Partially fixes and addresses #10221

Walkthrough

Azure, Google, and AWS cloud modules now defer SDK imports until related functions execute. Azure and Google paths return fallback results when SDK imports, credentials, or clients are unavailable. The Google instance-types route now validates its returned tuple.

Changes

Cloud SDK import deferral and fallback handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Azure SDK loading and fallback handling
web/pgadmin/misc/cloud/azure/__init__.py, web/pgadmin/misc/cloud/azure/tests/test_azure_session_state.py
Azure SDK classes load through _azure_sdk(). Authentication and client paths handle import or credential failures. Lookup methods return safe fallback values. Empty capability lists no longer cause indexing errors.
Google SDK loading and service calls
web/pgadmin/misc/cloud/google/__init__.py, web/pgadmin/misc/cloud/google/tests/test_google_session_state.py
Google API and authentication modules load on demand. Service methods handle SDK import errors and use local SDK references. The instance-types route validates the returned (dict, error) tuple.
AWS SDK loading
web/pgadmin/misc/cloud/rds/__init__.py
boto3 imports now occur inside region lookup and client construction functions.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a179d

Google Cloud authentication and client setup can still fail outside the existing fallback handlers, causing cloud-wizard requests to return HTTP 500 responses; merge should wait for this handling to be fixed or explicitly accepted by the owner.

Thanks, this is the worked example I asked for over in #10221, and it takes the right approach. The blueprints, their menu entries and the endpoint map are all untouched, which is the property that makes this viable where the original lazy-blueprint idea wasn't; the comments explaining why each import sits where it does are there; and the _azure_sdk() / _google_sdk() helpers are the shape I suggested for the modules with several call sites, with plain inline imports where there are only one or two, so the mixture of the two idioms is deliberate and correct rather than an inconsistency.

I've checked out the branch locally and confirmed that none of boto3, azure.*, googleapiclient or google_auth_oauthlib are in sys.modules after create_app() returns any more, so the deferral genuinely does what it says. pycodestyle is clean and every deferred symbol resolves against the pinned SDK versions.

Three things before this goes in, one of which I'd like fixed.

The ImportError doesn't fail cleanly on most paths

This is the one thing I specifically flagged in the issue: the failure mode moves from startup, where it's obvious, to the first time a user clicks the thing, so the surrounding code needs to fail cleanly rather than leaking a traceback into the UI. rds.get_regions() gets this right, because the from boto3.session import Session sits inside the existing try and a broken install therefore comes back as a tidy 410. The rest don't.

In google/__init__.py, get_projects(), get_regions(), get_instance_types() and get_database_versions() all call _google_sdk() outside their try, so an ImportError propagates out of the view and the user gets a 500. I realise that's forced by the structure, since except sdk.HttpError needs sdk bound and so the helper can't simply move inside the block, but it's fixable with a small guard that keeps each function's existing (data, error) contract:

    def get_projects(self):
        projects = []
        error = None
        try:
            sdk = _google_sdk()
        except ImportError as e:
            return projects, str(e)

        credentials = self._get_credentials(self._scopes)
        ...

azure/__init__.py has the same gap at _get_azure_client() (line 435). _get_azure_credentials() swallows the ImportError and hands back (False, message), but the status is then discarded into _, and the following _azure_sdk() call raises it again with nothing to catch it; list_subscriptions(), list_resource_groups() and list_regions() have no handler either, so those routes 500 as well.

The three SDKs are all hard pins in requirements.txt, so this isn't a common path, but the whole point of #10110 was a packaged install where a third-party import blows up for reasons outside our control, and that's precisely the scenario that now lands here.

The headline number doesn't reproduce

You took the point about measuring the cumulative figure rather than summing the per-module ones, and the "Combined (all 3)" row correctly comes in well below the sum of the three above it, so the method is right. The absolute numbers I can't reproduce, though. Measured here on Linux with a warm page cache, timing create_app() in desktop mode over five runs and taking the median:

Tree create_app()
bc58657 (this PR's base) 1567 ms
this branch 1354 ms
saving ~210 ms

That's about 13% off application startup for a contained change, which is a good result and well worth having. It is not, however, 1.75 seconds. My guess is that the 1856 ms baseline is either measured under -X importtime, whose instrumentation overhead is substantial, or on a cold cache, but either way I'd rather the PR description carried a figure we can stand behind when it turns up in a release note. Could you re-measure with plain wall-clock timing around create_app(), on a warm cache, and update the table?

A small note on the oauth2client sentinel

The sys.modules.setdefault('oauth2client', None) guard at google/__init__.py:38 still works, because it runs at module import and therefore always precedes _google_sdk(), and test_google_oauth2client_blocked.py still passes. But the invariant it protects, that the sentinel is installed before anything imports googleapiclient, used to be enforced by two adjacent lines and is now spread across the file. Worth a one-line comment on _google_sdk() pointing back at line 38, so that someone tidying up in a year's time doesn't move the sentinel and quietly reintroduce #10110.

Nothing else from me. Fix the ImportError handling and update the measurements and I'm happy with this.

- Guard _google_sdk() calls with try/except ImportError across Google methods, returning (data, error) tuples.
- Guard _azure_sdk() calls and client creation in Azure methods to prevent unhandled 500 exceptions on missing/broken SDK installations.
- Add explanatory comment in _google_sdk() referencing the oauth2client sentinel invariant.
- Fix unpacking in google.instance_types route.
- Add test coverage for missing SDK import error handling in both modules.

Thanks for the review, Dave! I have updated the branch with both requested fixes and re-measured the startup benchmarks using wall-clock timing:

Application Startup (create_app() in Desktop Mode)

Measured on Windows 11 (Python 3.11.15) via wall-clock timing (time.perf_counter()), warm cache, 1 discarded warmup + median of 5 fresh process runs.

Tree create_app() median (ms)
bc58657 (PR base) 2130.6 ms
6b0e655 (this branch) 1515.3 ms
saving 615.4 ms (28.9%)

(Note: This is a different result since yours was on Linux x86_64, which measured ~1567 ms → ~1354 ms / ~210 ms saving (13.4%), reflecting the lower file stat/import overhead of Linux VFS compared to Windows NTFS).

Also fixed the other two changes:

  1. Clean ImportError handling:
    • Guarded _google_sdk() in get_projects(), get_regions(), get_instance_types(), and get_database_versions() to cleanly return (data, str(e)) instead of a 500 error.
    • Guarded _azure_sdk() and client checks in _get_azure_client(), check_cluster_name_availability(), list_subscriptions(), list_resource_groups(), and list_regions().
    • Added unit tests covering missing SDK paths.
  2. oauth2client sentinel comment:

With that in place, I think the PR is ready for merge!

Handle deferred OAuth import failures in Google.callback.

If google_auth_oauthlib is unavailable, the import of InstalledAppFlow can raise ImportError. Google.callback catches only AccessDeniedError, so the route can return HTTP 500 instead of an error string. Catch ImportError, update the verification state, and return the error text. Add a regression test.

Handle credential and client-construction failures in the fallback path.

In all four Google service methods, self._get_credentials(...) and sdk.discovery.build(...) run outside the request-error handlers. If credential refresh, the deferred Request import, or build() raises, the method returns no result tuple and the route can produce HTTP 500. Move these operations into the handled block and add regression tests.

Thanks for turning that around quickly. I've checked out 6b0e655 and run the module tests, and all 27 cases in misc.cloud pass, including the two new SDK-missing ones; pycodestyle is clean and the branch is still a clean fast-forward onto upstream/master.

Of the three things I asked for, the oauth2client note is done and points at the right line, and the ImportError handling is done faithfully for every path I actually enumerated. Two paths with the same gap weren't in my list, which is my omission rather than anything you ignored, so those are the first two items below.

The Google OAuth callback still leaks the ImportError

I listed get_projects(), get_regions(), get_instance_types() and get_database_versions(), and all four are now guarded correctly, but I missed the OAuth pair. get_auth_url() happens to be safe, because its deferred InstalledAppFlow import sits inside a try that catches Exception. callback() has the identical deferred import at google/__init__.py:505, inside a try whose only handler is except AccessDeniedError, and the route at line 161 wraps nothing, so a broken google_auth_oauthlib produces a 500 in the OAuth popup window rather than the verification error the flow is written to expect. A second handler mirroring what get_auth_url() already does closes it:

        except ImportError as e:
            self._verification_successful = False
            self._verification_error = str(e)
            return self._verification_error

RDS._get_aws_client() has the same unguarded import

When I said get_regions() gets this right, that was specific to that function rather than a clean bill of health for the module, and the class method didn't get the same treatment. At rds/__init__.py:196 the import boto3 is bare, validate_credentials() calls _get_aws_client('sts') on the line before its try, and the db_versions and db_instances routes call get_available_db_version() and get_available_db_instance_class() with no wrapper at all. So three routes 500 on a broken boto3 install, in the one module that otherwise handles this properly. Worth closing for consistency.

Azure credential failures now vanish into empty lists

Using the status I pointed out was being discarded into _ is the right change, but the error message that comes back with it is now dropped on the floor. _get_azure_client() returns a bare None for both a missing SDK and a failed credential, and the four callers turn that into [], or into a generic 'Failed to initialize Azure client.'. The practical effect is that an az login which expires part-way through the wizard leaves the user with an empty Subscription dropdown and nothing at all explaining why, where previously it surfaced, badly, as a traceback. The (data, error) shape I suggested for the Google methods is the pattern to follow here too; failing that, the module already imports current_app, so logging the discarded message would at least leave a trail for anyone debugging it.

The description still carries the importtime table

The re-measured figures in your comment answer the substance of what I asked, and thank you for doing them properly with perf_counter() around create_app(). The PR body, though, still leads with 1856 ms to 109.5 ms and the bolded "~1.75s / 94.1% during startup", and the description is the text that gets read when this turns up in a release note. Could you move the wall-clock table into the description and drop the importtime one? Carrying both the Windows and the Linux measurements would be no bad thing, given they differ by more than a factor of two, since it makes clear the saving is platform-dependent rather than a single headline number.

A note on the instance_types fix

The change at google/__init__.py:262 is an unrelated pre-existing bug, and it deserves saying out loud rather than arriving as a quiet side effect of the import work. Google.get_instance_types() returns (instance_types, error), but master assigns that tuple to instance_types_dict and then calls .get() on it, so the endpoint raised AttributeError for anyone who reached that step of the wizard. Your version is correct and I'm glad to have it; please just mention it explicitly in the description, as it's a user-visible fix that someone will want to find again later. No test covers that route either way, before or after, so I'm not asking for one here.

Fix the two ImportError paths and the swallowed Azure error, tidy up the description, and I'm happy with this.
