02 · Design Decisions

Why→Outcome: Production engineer portal.
Feature 01: Dashboard
Problem
Engineers need clarity and confidence to focus on production tasks.
Solution
Simplifying live status displays helps engineers focus on production tasks.
Impact
• Provides clarity and confidence. • Leads to quicker issue responses. • Reduces cognitive load in high-pressure environment.
AI/ML Integration
• Live status visibility • Simplified information architecture • Task-focused interface • At-a-glance understanding
Why→Outcome: Production engineer portal.
Feature 02: Status Event Log
Problem
Engineers need effective methods to address recurring issues.
Solution
Integrating system updates with AI/ML enables engineers to more effectively address issues by leveraging data patterns.
Impact
