Monitoring & Observability

The Posters.science platform uses a mix of deployed and planned monitoring tools to ensure system health, performance, and security.

Partially Planned

Some components below (backups, email) are deployed. Application monitoring, logging, analytics, and error tracking tooling are under active development.

Current Components

Data Backups: Nightly PostgreSQL backups to Cloudflare R2
Email Services: Resend for transactional emails (verification, DOI confirmations)

Planned Components

Application Monitoring: Prometheus + Grafana for performance and health tracking
Logging: Centralized log management
Error Tracking: Sentry for real-time error monitoring
User Analytics: Umami for privacy-friendly usage analytics

Data Backups

Nightly PostgreSQL backups export to Cloudflare R2 storage, covering:

Metadata
poster.json versions
Sessions
Embeddings

Email Services

Resend handles transactional emails:

Verification
Password resets
DOI confirmations

Implementation Strategy

Tools will be introduced incrementally based on deployment scale, starting with health checks and Sentry integration. All selected tools are open source and privacy-focused.
