| **2. Backend for the Frontend:** A Node.js process that runs locally alongside the frontend and communicates with Valkey instances over WebSockets. It manages connection state, basic authentication, and command execution, returning responses for features like the integrated Command Line Interface (CLI). | ||

| The backend runs in the Electron main process and hosts a WebSocket server that manages subscriptions, streams live updates to the frontend, and handles historical queries. It communicates with the metrics server over a local or remote HTTP API, using basic authentication. For near real-time updates, the backend reads new entries from NDJSON files on disk, filters by metric type, and emits them to subscribed clients. For historical queries, it fetches rows from the API, filters by timestamp, buckets the results (e.g., per 5s or 1m), and sends them to the frontend. |

The metrics server is the Timeseries Metrics Service mentioned below. I definitely should've been more clear here and will edit the report to use the correct name and reference the section defining the metrics server. Thanks for pointing this out!

The proposed feature is Skyscope, a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that brings observability capabilities to Valkey. Skyscope addresses critical observability and monitoring gaps identified through community analysis and customer research, particularly focusing on hot key detection, cluster visualization, and near real-time metrics collection.
