CI Observability Platform

Continuous Integration & Observability Platform Template
Monitoring Software Delivery and System Performance

Q: What is a Continuous Integration & Observability backend?

A Continuous Integration & Observability backend is a BaaS schema and API for monitoring software delivery pipelines and system performance: users, pipelines, metrics, and alerts.

Q: What does the Continuous Integration & Observability template include?

It comprises User (username, email, password), Pipeline (name, status, metrics), Metric (type, value, timestamp), and Alert (level, message), ER diagram, API playground, and an AI Agent prompt.

Q: Why utilize Back4app for a Continuous Integration & Observability platform?

Back4app provides a managed database, authentication, real-time capabilities, and flexible schema design, enabling you to deploy a robust monitoring solution without backend management.

Q: How do I run queries for metrics and pipelines with Flutter?

Use the Metric and Pipeline classes to query and visualize data, leveraging the Back4app SDK for data operations.

Q: How do I manage access control with Next.js server actions?

Utilize a server action to create a Parse Object for Metrics with pointers to their respective Pipelines and permissions. Optionally validate access in Cloud Code.

Q: Can React Native cache metrics and pipelines offline?

Yes, enable Local Datastore and pin Metric and Pipeline data to allow users access saved content without internet.

Q: How do I prevent unauthorized metric access?

In Cloud Code, perform permission checks on metrics before saving, rejecting unauthorized access attempts.

Q: What is the best way to display metrics and pipelines on Android?

Query Metric and Pipeline classes for data rendering, utilizing the Back4app SDK for effective data management.

Q: How does the metrics monitoring flow work end-to-end?

Users can create metrics tied to pipelines, and the system broadcasts alerts and updates in real-time using Live Queries for notifications.

Overview

A Continuous Integration & Observability Platform needs monitoring capabilities for software delivery and performance metrics.

This template encompasses User, Pipeline, Metric, and Alert with real-time monitoring and secure sharing features to streamline collaboration.

Core Continuous Integration & Observability Features

Every technology card utilizes the same Continuous Integration & Observability backend schema encompassing User, Pipeline, Metric, and Alert.

User management

User class holds username, email, password, and roles.

Pipeline tracking and management

Pipeline class maintains name, current status, and performance metrics.

Performance metrics tracking

Metric class captures type, value, and timestamp.

Alert management

Alert class captures alert level and corresponding messages.

Why Build Your Continuous Integration & Observability Platform Backend with Back4app?

Back4app equips you with monitoring and analytics primitives, allowing your team to focus on performance and observability rather than infrastructure.

•Pipeline and metric management: Pipeline class with detailed metrics and alerts supports collaboration.
•Security and visibility features: Manage access and visibility of performance insights with controlled permissions for users.
•Realtime + API integration: Leverage Live Queries for real-time metric updates while keeping REST and GraphQL available for every client.

Build and iterate on observability features quickly with one backend contract across all platforms.

Build with AI Agent

Utilize the Back4app AI Agent to generate a full Continuous Integration & Observability application from this template, encompassing frontend, backend, auth, and monitoring capabilities.

Back4app AI Agent

Ready to build

Create a Continuous Integration & Observability application backend on Back4app with this precise schema and behavior.

Schema:
1. User (use Back4app built-in): username, email, password; objectId, createdAt, updatedAt (system).
2. Pipeline: name (String, required), status (String), metrics (Array of Metric, required); objectId, createdAt, updatedAt (system).
3. Metric: type (String, required), value (Number, required), timestamp (Date, required); objectId, createdAt, updatedAt (system).
4. Alert: level (String, required), message (String, required); objectId, createdAt, updatedAt (system).

Security:
- Only the user can update/delete their profile. Only the owner can create/delete their pipelines and metrics. Utilize Cloud Code for validations.

Auth:
- Sign-up, login, logout.

Behavior:
- List users, retrieve pipeline data, create metrics, and manage alerts.

Deliver:
- Back4app application with schema, ACLs, CLPs; frontend for user profiles, pipelines, metrics, and alerts.
