Action matching juice #436
Conversation

All matching options are functional (selector matching was definitely the trickiest). Any optimization tips appreciated. |

A comment here would be useful

I think with longer regexes an example of what it should match is always useful

| case 'person': | ||
| person = await this.db.fetchPerson(event.team_id, event.distinct_id) | ||
| return this.checkEventAgainstPersonFilter(person, filter) | ||

| person = await this.db.fetchPerson(event.team_id, event.distinct_id) | ||
| return await this.checkEventAgainstCohortFilter(person, filter) |

This db.fetchPerson could be fetching the same db rows multiple times per ActionMatcher.match in case we have a lot of steps that check user properties.
It would be great if we could either recycle the person that we got while ingesting, or then just cache it here somehow.

True. I was initially thinking of just using the person from processEvent, but keeping track of that object while making sure it's updated along with property updates etc. all while other events are being processed would very likely result in some inconsistencies. So the person for action matching is fetched once per event now. There could be some better optimizations too, but how about seeing how this performs dryrunning in production?
