V3 - Features and enhancement ideas for the next release

[mlqn]

Here is a list of features and enhancement ideas to help define priorities for the next release:

New features

• Workflow engine

Alerts

• We currently have alerts for failed process/next and instantiation requests. Identify other failing requests that would be valuable to monitor (e.g., PATCH {org}/{app}/instances/{instanceOwnerPartyId:int}/{instanceGuid:guid}/data , PUT {org}/{app}/instances/{instanceOwnerPartyId:int}/{instanceGuid:guid}/data/{dataGuid:guid}, etc).

  Should we also alert service owners when pods are down or stuck in a CrashLoopBackOff state?

• Establish a process for monitoring alerts in the Slack channels:

  • Prod: https://digdir.slack.com/archives/C0A6VAH7T35
  • Test (TT02/AT): https://digdir.slack.com/archives/C0AAUG4M0US

  Should alerts be split by squad (e.g., send failed process/next alerts to the Flyt squad)?

• Show errors per instance. We currently only display errors at the application level

Contact points

• Allow users to select which applications and/or alert types (e.g., process/next, instantiation, etc) they want to be receive alerts for. Ensure that applications are updated or removed from the database when they are renamed or deleted/undeployed
• Allow users to activate/deactivate notifications per contact method (e.g., phone or email) rather than per contact
• On-call scheduling?
• Allow users to define own contact points in user settings?
• Should we use these contact points to notify service owners when a new app version is available or when their app is using an outdated version? Or will Renovate handle this?
• Show audit fields (who created/updated a contact point)

Instances

• Show backend and frontend versions directly in the app list to provide a better overview and avoid having to open each app
• Fix slow requests that retrieve instances in production
• Show more info on the instance page
• Improve filters (partyid, ). Index?

Enhancement ideas

• Show application logs directly in admin instead of having to open application insights
• Merge dashboard and published apps into a single view?
• Show a toast notification in Studio when an error occured in an application? Make it possible to deactivate it in settings
