Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The frontend adds Prometheus metrics infrastructure, instruments backend proxy requests, exposes metrics through /api/metrics, and configures Kubernetes scraping for port 3000.

Changes

Prometheus metrics

Layer / File(s) Summary
Metrics infrastructure
frontend/lib/metrics.ts, frontend/package.json
Adds prom-client, a shared registry, default Node.js metrics, HTTP metrics, and backend-proxy metrics.
Backend proxy instrumentation
frontend/app/api/[...path]/route.ts
Records request duration and totals for successful and failed proxy requests. Records labeled errors for failures.
Metrics endpoint and scrape wiring
frontend/app/api/metrics/route.ts, kubernetes/helm/openrag/templates/frontend/deployment.yaml
Exposes registered metrics through GET /api/metrics and adds Prometheus scrape annotations.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 2bdc8

This change adds frontend Prometheus metrics, but request paths can create unlimited metric series and the metrics endpoint may be publicly accessible without authentication. These bounded runtime and exposure risks should be addressed or explicitly accepted before merging.

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Use a bounded value for the metric path label.

path contains raw segments from the catch-all route. A caller can create unlimited unique paths. Each unique value creates retained series in backendProxyDuration, backendProxyTotal, and backendProxyErrors.

Replace the raw path label in both blocks with a bounded route value, such as "/api/[...path]", or normalize only known path templates before recording metrics.

Proposed fix
-        path: `/${path}`,
+        path: "/api/[...path]",
...
-      path: `/${path}`,
+      path: "/api/[...path]",

Restrict /api/metrics to the Prometheus network or require authentication. When a frontend ingress host is configured, its / Prefix rule exposes this unauthenticated handler publicly.
