Challenge and constraints

The Ubuntu migration needed one safe surface for container status, service ownership, links, ports, and health context.

Constraints

  • The dashboard remains read-only
  • Published metadata is curated instead of exposing raw Docker control
  • Evidence uses a sanitized API-shape fixture
  • The browser surface must remain responsive

What I owned

Product direction, catalog information architecture, public-safe boundaries, implementation guidance, runtime-shape validation, and responsive quality assurance.

Ownership

  • Define the service catalog
  • Set public-safe boundaries
  • Guide implementation
  • Own runtime-shape and responsive validation

Decisions and implementation

The decisions define the boundary; the implementation records what was delivered inside it.

Decisions

  • Keep the dashboard read-only
  • Expose curated service metadata instead of raw control access

Implementation

  • Curated service catalog
  • Aggregate health summary
  • Service-detail drill-down
  • Responsive read-only browser surface

Validation

Evidence is checked against the surface it is meant to demonstrate.

Checks

  • Deterministic sanitized-fixture browser capture
  • Frontend and API-shape verification
  • Mobile overflow check

Evidence-backed outcomes

Each delivered result is paired with the public proof basis that supports it.

  • Consolidated service ownership and health context in one read-only catalogBasis: Shown in the public-safe product overview and catalog-flow diagram.
  • Delivered catalog and detail views against the real frontend and API shapeBasis: Verified through deterministic fixture captures of the actual frontend components.
  • Kept sensitive runtime values and control actions outside the published dashboardBasis: Documented by the capture protocol and service-catalog safety boundary.

Each artifact is selected for what it explains and reviewed for public safety.
