Practice the ROS2 QoS Queue Cliff coding problem in Performance Debug. Browser-based execution with automated grading — no local ROS install required. 0% of engineers pass this challenge.

Performance Bug

Under normal operation: system works perfectly. After a 3-second network congestion event: system never recovers. All topics delayed 30+ seconds even after congestion ends.

Symptoms

  • Normal: all topics current, latency < 50ms
  • During congestion: some messages delayed (expected)
  • After congestion: system processes data from 30 seconds ago, never catches up
  • CPU: 100% after congestion ends — processing the backlog
  • Memory: spikes during congestion, never releases

Your task

Find why the system can't recover from transient congestion and fix it.

Performance Debug format: The system runs but at wrong speed. Find the root cause.
