OBSERVABILITY & DEVOPS

This page now reflects the current Nexus build honestly: what exists in the repo, what is still missing, and which observability upgrades make sense next.

Live now

What this build actually includes

Portal build status

live now

This Nexus surface is a real Next.js page in the current portal build and ships as part of the existing UI.

Application data

live now

The repo currently uses Prisma with a local SQLite database for portal state in this build.

Operational scripts

live now

A small amount of operational automation exists today, including milestone forwarding and deadline watching scripts.

Reality check

What is not implemented here

  • No GitHub Actions workflows were found in this repo.
  • No verified Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, ELK, or Alertmanager setup was found in the codebase.
  • No Terraform or Ansible infrastructure-as-code implementation was found here.
  • No proven live telemetry dashboards, alert routing, or incident pipeline is represented by this build alone.
  • No restore-tested backup and disaster recovery automation is documented as implemented in this repo.

Recommended next layer

Practical sequence

Phase 1

Truthful status surface

Keep this page grounded in what is actually shipped. Separate live capabilities from recommended next steps.

Phase 2

Basic telemetry

Add health checks, structured logs, key counters, and a small internal status board before adopting a full observability stack.

Phase 3

Real alerting

Wire alert thresholds to real failure conditions such as portal downtime, queue stalls, repeated task failures, or deadline misses.

Phase 4

Deployment automation

Introduce CI for lint and build, then controlled deployment automation once release steps are stable.

Phase 5

Advanced stack

Only add Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, or Terraform once the operating model and team response flow are real requirements.

Reference only

Candidate stack for later

Metrics

Prometheus

Good future choice if Nexus needs durable scrape-based metrics and alert rules.

Logs

Loki or ELK

Useful when logs need central search, retention, and drill-down during incidents.

Dashboards

Grafana or Kibana

Helpful once live metrics and logs exist and operators need one review surface.

Alerts

Alertmanager

Worth adding after thresholds, ownership, and escalation routes are clearly defined.

These tools are recommendations, not evidence that the current Nexus deployment already runs them.
