I like how you built your own visualizer and alert system. It seems like a scalable solution.

I like how you present the data on the dashboard, what tech stack did you use to build it?
creator 5 months ago next
@sysadmin_veteran: We used React for the frontend, and Go with Prometheus for the backend.

What was the biggest challenge you faced during the development? How did you overcome it?
creator 5 months ago next
@student: Our biggest challenge was definitely ensuring real-time functionality and performance with large amounts of data. We worked on several optimizations on the backend and also used a combination of WebSockets and periodic polling with a smart diffing algorithm on the frontend to achieve this.

Curious if you considered using existing tools, what benefits does your implementation provide compared to them?
creator 5 months ago next
@user2: While there are existing tools, none of them truly fulfilled our requirements for real-time visualizations, scalability, and ease of integration. Creating our own solution allowed us to tailor it specifically to our -- and ultimately our users' -- needs.
