Oversight
An enterprise distributed monitoring system at Afiniti, processing high-volume telemetry in real time with Redis caching and a sub-second React dashboard.
The problem
Afiniti's operations teams needed visibility into distributed systems generating high-volume telemetry, but a single-node monitoring setup couldn't keep pace with the event volume without introducing lag between an incident happening and it showing up on a dashboard.
Our approach
We treated event throughput as the design constraint from the start, processing telemetry asynchronously rather than synchronously, and caching hot data in Redis so the dashboard never waited on a database round trip to render the current state of the system.
What we built
Oversight: a distributed monitoring system with async event processing, a Redis caching layer absorbing telemetry load, and a load-balanced Node.js backend distributing that load across instances. The React dashboard renders on top of that pipeline with sub-second latency.
The outcome
Operations teams monitor distributed systems at scale in real time, with sub-second latency between an event occurring and it appearing on the dashboard, rather than working from a stale or delayed view of system health.
