Description
A customizable real-time operations dashboard for monitoring services, viewing logs, running commands, and managing deployments. Like a self-hosted Grafana meets Vercel dashboard.
**Core Features:**
- Real-time log streaming from deployed services (via WebSocket)
- Service health overview with live status indicators
- Deployment management (trigger deploys, view history, rollback)
- Custom metric widgets (CPU, memory, request rate, error rate)
- Incident timeline and alerting
- Team access with role-based permissions (admin, deployer, viewer)
- Command palette (Cmd+K) for quick actions
- Configurable dashboard layouts per user
**Technical Architecture:**
- Backend: FastAPI with WebSocket endpoints for real-time data
- Log aggregation: tail container logs via Docker API, stream to frontend
- Metrics: Prometheus-compatible scraping or direct container stats
- Auth: JWT with RBAC (roles: admin, deployer, viewer)
- Storage: PostgreSQL (config, users, incidents) + Redis (real-time metrics cache)
- Frontend: Next.js with WebSocket hooks for live updates
**Framework Development Required:**
*jestech-api additions:*
- WebSocket support (connection management, rooms, broadcasting)
- Server-Sent Events (SSE) for simpler one-way streaming
- Redis caching layer with TTL and invalidation
- Role-based access control (RBAC) middleware
- API pagination helpers (cursor-based and offset)
- Docker API integration helpers
*@jestech/ui additions:*
- WebSocket hooks (useRealtimeData, useWebSocket, usePresence)
- Terminal/log viewer component (monospace, auto-scroll, search, ANSI colors)
- Tabs component
- Command palette (Cmd+K overlay with fuzzy search)
- Loading skeletons
- Avatar and user menu dropdown
- Responsive grid layout system (draggable widgets)
- Status indicator dot (animated pulse for live)
- Timeline component (for incident history)
**Why Second:**
Gives us the real-time infrastructure (WebSockets, SSE) that powers interactive features in every future product. Also directly useful for managing all Jestech deployments — replaces manual SSH + jestech-deploy CLI with a web UI.
**Revenue Potential:** DevOps SaaS for small teams ($10-30/mo per team). Could integrate with GitHub/GitLab for broader appeal.
**Deployment:** commandpost.jestech.org

## Evaluation | Dimension | Score | |-----------|-------| | Feasibility | 7/10 | | Market Fit | 7/10 | | Effort (inverted) | 5/10 | | Strategic Alignment | 9/10 | | **Total** | **28/40** | ### Notes WebSocket infrastructure is complex but well-documented. Real-time log streaming and deployment management are directly useful internally. Builds the real-time layer every future product needs. Higher effort due to WebSocket state management and RBAC. --- Auto-advancing to **planning** (score ≥ 28).
