Inviscid

Inviscid is a proposed startup that helps small businesses monitor the health and performance of their web applications. Customers would use a dashboard to see availability, response times, request volume, and error rates, paired with plain-language status summaries such as "Your website is responding slowly."

The semester prototype targets one demonstration customer application, building on the team's existing Node.js website. Monitoring, the dashboard, and deployment automation are planned work, not completed features. See the Project Proposal chapter of the manual for the full plan and the Prometheus vs. VictoriaMetrics comparison.

Building the manual

The manual uses minted, which needs shell escape and the latexminted helper. Overleaf compiles it as-is. Locally:

latexmk -pdf devopsAssignment.tex

latexmkrc enables -shell-escape and runs makeglossaries automatically.
